Angels are a type of species in Deep-Sea Prisoner's works. Angels typically work underneath a god and live in an overworld. There are currently 41 named angels.

Physical Characteristics

Angels have two main characteristics: a halo and wings with which they can fly. Angels have the ability to hide or display their halo or wings at will. Some angels may choose to hide or show theirs depending on their personal preference.

There are currently two angels known to have a double halo: Zero and Lei. The reason behind this has not been revealed as of now.

Hierarchy

The strongest angel is hard to determine as many of them claim to be the strongest.

Wing Types

There are different types of angels with different wing counts. These terms below are not official but derived from mythology.

Seraph

Seraphim are angels with three pairs of wings. They are the highest angel rank seen in Deep-Sea Prisoner's Works. In both Kumo-no-Kuni and the Pentagram World, the subordinates of the god in power are all seraphim.

Cherub

Cherubim are angels with two pairs of wings. They are ranked below seraphs.

Regular Angels

Regular angels have a single pair of wings. They are the most common type of angel shown throughout Deep-Sea Prisoner's Works.

Statuses

Below are statuses which are separate of an angel's wing ranking.

Headangel

A headangel is at the head of all angels working under a god. Currently, the known headangels are Igls Unth, Sol, Taffy, and Wodahs. However, being head angel does not necessarily correlate with strength. Taffy is the head angel, yet he is not the strongest angel.

Fallen Angels

Fallen angels have abandoned their god and left heaven. An angel of any wing ranking can fall from grace. Currently, there are four confirmed cases of fallen angels in Deep-Sea Prisoner's Works.

Three of the known fallen angels, that being Aconita, Bear Claw, and Chlomaki, have black wings and a dripping halo. This seems to be a characteristic for them. Aconita and Bear Claw are both cherubs while Chlomaki is a regular angel.

Reficul used to be a seraph and headangel and currently the only fallen angel known to have turned into a devil. A reverse transformation, that being a demon or devil turning into an angel, has never been shown throughout Deep-Sea Prisoner's works. It is unknown whether it is possible for such a transformation to happen.

An unknown case is that of Wodahs. While he has white wings in the present, illustrations of him as a child feature him with dark wings. One illustration furthermore contains the text "fallen angel in darkness," though it is unknown what this alludes to.

Biology

According to Deep-Sea Prisoner, angels do not produce excrement. This piece of lore is sourced from other media such as Paradise Lost.

Reproduction and Creation

The most common way for angels to come into existence is being created by a god. Gods have been shown to create angels to work under them and inhabit their world.

Bisexuality is considered the norm for angels. However, there are currently no confirmed instances of angel/angel reproduction throughout any of Deep-Sea Prisoner's Works.

There is one confirmed instance of a half-angel, a fiend, asexually reproducing. It is unknown whether full-blood angels possess this ability as well.

Hybrids

• Demon/Angel Hybrids (Main article: Fiends (Species)): Demon/angel reproduction will result in a fiend. There are currently ten known fiends, six of which are currently unnamed characters. Angels do not exactly consider fiends unclean, but they do hate them.

• Animal/Angel Hybrids: There are currently no known animal/angel hybrids. This is due to the fact that angels are avoided and feared more than demons.

Mortality

Angels have regenerative abilities; they can regenerate parts of their body - even guts and bones - and will not succumb to injuries that would be lethal to humans. The mini-comics and doodles featuring their "deaths" are for comedic purposes.

Social Behavior

Halos

The meaning of halos differ from world to world. Fumus', Elux's, and the other worlds with angels all have different cultural views when it comes to halos.
