'''Angels''' are a race of divine spirits that act as messengers of the gods in the [[Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. The protagonist of the series, [[Pit]], and [[Dark Pit|his dark counterpart]], are currently the only known members of this race. Overall, they seem to be a relatively uncommon race, as [[Palutena]] stated that not all gods have angels as servants<ref>'''Pit''': ''Do all gods have their own angels like you have me?''<br>

Angels of the ''Kid Icarus'' series have a very similar appearance to angels commonly depicted in modern works of art and fiction. They are shown as winged humanoids with bird-like wings sprouting from their backs. They share some characteristics with [[human]]s such that angels (at least the ones seen so far) have normal skin and hair color. They also possess red blood like humans do.<!--?-->

Pit and Dark Pit both have the appearance of young adolescents, but there is implication angels do grow albeit it appears to be a much slower pace than humans. The official website for ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' states that Pit is young<ref>[http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/characters.html#pit Official Kid Icarus: Uprising Website (NA): Characters - Pit]</ref>, implying Pit is still merely a child in angel standards. There is further evidence that with the short, ''[[Medusa's Revenge]]'', where Pit is clearly much younger in appearance than he is now. Regardless, angels with an adult-like appearance are yet to be seen in the series. It is also currently unknown if female angels exist as they have not appeared either.
