A term from internet vernacular referring to the scary and bizarre [[eldritch abomination|representations]] of the [[angel]]s described in [b]The Book of Ezekiel[/b].

Simply called [i]Living creatures[/i] in Ezekiel's text from the Old Testament, they were four divine beings that accompanied the chariot of God. They were described as possessing the faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle that faced the four cardinal directions. Depending on the text they may have possessed four or six [[wings]]. Alongside each of them was a [i]wheel[/i] described as a "wheel within a wheel" and possessing "eyes all around." These normally are referred to as [i]Ezekiel's wheels[/i]. The Book of Enoch would build upon this later.

In their description in Revelation 4:6–8 from the New Testament, the [i]Living creatures[/i] are described as possessing "eyes before and behind" instead of being accompanied by an Ezekiel's wheel. This is the only time 'angels' are depicted as such in the New Testament, with their other appearances being the more humanized version typically seen in Christendom.
