Reaping Angel

 Description 

Reaping Angels appear to be a massive hybrid between a Praying Mantis and a Serpent of some kind. While it is not known for sure, many scientists speculate that the species could share a common ancestor with the King Taijitsu, as the back of the Reaping Angel's tail is covered with scales that are almost identical to those of the possible relative's.

The front of the Reaping Angel's tail is covered in overlapping white plates with red markings, made of the same materials as the white portions of almost all other Grimm. The tail ends in 3 large claws arranged in a 3-fingered hand pattern.

The upper body is mostly black but two white plates adorn the breasts. They have small red stripes on them. Everything else except for the head and claws are made of black, smooth, chitinous scales that are too small to be seen separately unless up close. There are also 2 wings that cannot be used until maturity.

The elbows end in an enlarged spiky bump that points back towards the shoulder. At the end of the forearm is a scythe-like claw that is slightly less long than the head. Another bump smaller than the one on the elbow extends a little bit past the blade, like a bat's fingers on its wings.

On the bottom of the forearm, near the elbow, is the second blade, which is only slightly smaller than the first. The entire arm looks like a somewhat deformed 2-feathered bird wing. The largest Reaping Angel on record has an arm that when extended, is estimated to be somewhat longer than 2 grown men standing one on top of the other.

The head is covered in white plates that fit together so smoothly they look to be one single piece of armor. There are two large, elongated eyes with 2 smaller dot-shaped eyes atop each one. There are also two eye-like marks on the back of the head, either meant for intimidation, or confusion.

A Reaping Angel that reaches maturity has pincer-like fangs that are strong enough to cut a 3-inch thick steel beam.

 Classification 

The Reaping Angel is one of the most dangerous type of Grimm there are. Newborn Reaping Angels can be as large as a beach ball, and can also regurgitate a highly corrosive acid from their stomachs. Full-grown Reaping Angels can fly faster than Nevermores and are also more agile. Their brute strength outranks that of a Deathstalker tenfold. They're surprisingly stealthy, and outmatch King Taijitsus in land speed, agility, and silence when stalking prey or enemies.

Danger Rating: X

Requirements: Any team(s) about to hunt one or more mature Reaping Angels must meet the following requirements: All team members have passed the Teleos pain test with a B+ rating or higher, at least one member must have advanced medical training including amputation, all team members have thorough knowledge of the anatomy of Reaping Angels, and all team members have single-handedly killed either 2 Nevermores or 2 Deathstalkers, either separately or together.

If you encounter one by accident, run. If possible, shoot it as you go. Do not stop to fight, just run. Just. Freaking. Run. If you encounter more than one at once, say your prayers and aim for your head. You are going to die. Luckily, Reaping Angels are very rare. Only 3 reports have been filed of one attacking a populated area, and so far, no civilians have been wounded or killed by one. Multiple accounts have been filed of them being seen a distance from a populated area.
