Angel

Angel is a member of the cross-flight subspecies Nephilim and meets the specific coloration and genetic criteria set forth by the creator of this subspecies.

The Nephilim, also known as the Shadowhunters, are a sect of dragons dedicated to fighting the Shade that have been blessed by their deity and undertake a complex series of oaths and rituals in order to augment their combat abilities. These dragons consider themselves to possess angelic qualities and powers, and are marked by Seraph wings and dark-colored Runes that signify this blessing.


Nephilim generally have black-range Runes and desaturated wings, as well as light-colored primary genes that allow the runes to be seen. These runes endow the Shadowhunters with above-average strength and allow them to more easily perceive the Shade.

Nephilim dragons are most commonly found in species with a history of combat. While many Nephilim choose to live in lairs with others of their kind, they are more than capable of operating on their own. While the Shade will always be their first priority, Nephilim have taken on many roles historically, including weapon-making, archival work and coliseum training. The Hewn City is a special place for the Nephilim, as the Lightweaver is the deity that most closely aligns with their work. This is why many Nephilim are Light dragons or have chosen to make a pilgrimage to the Hewn City at some point in their training.
