Angel of Death Species: A dark cloak (sometimes hooded like Grim Ripper's) that flutters as if woven from darkness or shadows itself. A person can be: a skeleton (a pure symbol of death); hidden in the shadows (only glowing eyes or emptiness under the hood); pale and emotionless, like a statue's. The scythe is silver or rusty, an instrument of the "harvest of souls". The wings are often black, charred or bat-like, but in some versions they are like an angel's, but emaciated.
