Special abilities

• Assisted Leaping. Can use its quasi-wings to fly up to 30' on its turn but it must start and end its move on a solid surface such as a roof or the ground. If it is flying at the end of its turn it falls to the ground and takes falling damage.
• Flexible Form. Can twist its body into unnatural positions allowing it to easily move through any opening large enough for a Small creature. It can squeeze through any opening large enough for a Tiny creature. The angel's destination must still have suitable room to accommodate its volume.
• Keen Smell. Advantage: smell Wis (Percept) checks.
• Limited Telepathy. Can magically communicate simple ideas emotions and images telepathically with any creature within 100' of it that can understand a language.
