Angel

Angels are the highest ranking strain of Chimera shown in the game that appear to serve a command role over the other strains, giving them a great deal of influence among the species.

This breed have only been recently confirmed through observations and are believed to be the most advanced of the Chimeran species that are operating within Britain. They are often encountered near Chimera strongholds, though some reports suggest that they do participate on the battlefield in some way.

They are only encountered in the Chimeran tower near the end of the game. They get their name from exhaust venting from a cooling apparatus that is believed to give them their flight abilities.

The Angel shoots poisonous spikes that excretes large amounts of toxic gas, much like an air fuel grenade, but simply with toxic gas, at the player, which then spreads across the ground. If you're not hit by the initial attack, then move away as soon as possible or else the gas can still damage you.

Angels did not make a reappearance in Resistance 2. There are two theories regarding this. One is that the Chimera had evolved to be independent of angels. Dr. Malikov suggests that Daedalus has initiated this change himself. The new command structure includes Primarchs- a certain rank of chimera. Primarchs can be members of various strains of chimera. Primarchs have control over 30 to 40 chimera. Overseers have control over about twelve Primarchs. The Angels and Daedalus are at the top of the command structure. A Specter Team mission report states that the Chimera cannot be defeated by solely targeting the Angels.

Tactics
While the Angel is a large target, their main advantage is their ability to fly, making them a difficult target to hit. The ideal weapon to use is the LAARK or the Bullseye Mark II, but a fun and challenging way to kill an Angel is to use the Rossmore 236. As an advantage, killing an Angel by only using the Rossmore 236 gives you the "What would Hale do?" Skill Point, and 2 Points. Another way to kill an Angel (Which usually is quite fast) is to try get really accurate shots with the Splitter with all shots separated, if your lucky, you may only use 1 shot from the Splitter to kill it.
