Cherubs are a subspecies of angel from Heaven.

Description[]

Cherubs are purportedly tasked with protecting the lives of humans, showering them with love to give them a reason to continue to live. These tasks are suggested to be done at the request of souls in Heaven.

Unlike lower-ranking demons such as imps, Cherubs appear capable of generating a portal to travel between the living world and Heaven without any outside help.

This ability, however, can be taken away if a Cherub does something against the rules of Heaven, such as being responsible for the death of a human, even if it was an accident.

Known Cherubs[]

Biology[]

Appearance[]

Cherubs are roughly the size of a human child. They have the bodies of animals, usually of sheep, lamb, bees, deer, or humans of infantile proportions, with pastel color schemes.

Their eyes are shiny with pupils that tend to have a distinctly faded look, as opposed to being fully black, making them at once look bright and hearty, as well as somewhat ghostly and otherworldly.

Cherubs also have halos floating above their heads, and small yet flight-capable wings sprouting from their backs, and they emit glowing auras.

Abilities[]

  • Flight - All Cherubs are capable of flight via their wings.
  • Superhuman strength - In the commercial for C.H.E.R.U.B, Keenie is shown lifting a boulder several times her own size with relative ease.
  • Portal generation - Cherubs can open a gateway to travel between Heaven and Earth. However, cherubs who fail to do their responsibilities are unable to re-enter Heaven.
  • Object manipulation - Cherubs can conjure numerous items in or out of existence. Deerie demonstrated this ability by summoning a pair of reading glasses alongside a clipboard out of thin air, whereas the C.H.E.R.U.B employees erased a makeshift noose that Lyle was preparing to hang himself with.
    • Weapon Summoning - Cherubs can summon holy weapons at will. These weapons appear to be unique to the individual. The lethality of these weapons, and if they are comparable to exorcists' angelic weapons, is unknown.
  • Telekinesis - Only Deerie, a suggested higher ranking Cherub, has displayed this ability. She used her telekinesis to make a clip board float in the air.

Trivia[]

  • In Abrahamic religion, Cherubs (or Cherubim) are one of the many attendants of God with varying roles and are entrusted with all sorts of important duties. The Book of Ezekiel depicts the forms of Cherubs as rather terrifying, but awe-inspiring: they have four wings and four faces (human, bull on the left, lion on the right, and eagle) with hoof-like feet, and having an aura like burning fire while gleaming like copper.
    • Contrary to their appearance in the Bible, Cherubs are popularly depicted as winged infants in Western media. This depiction was born from Western Renaissance Art using Putti from Greek mythology in paintings that depicted Angels, which Cletus resembles.
  • Blitzo's comment of Cherubs being "Heaven's table-scraps" may imply the cherubs are in the lower hierarchical rankings of Heaven. While it may match the angelic hierarchy of Jewish texts, this may also be ironic, given the traditional (Biblical) Cherubs were originally considered of quite high rank and closer to God than other angels, second only to Seraph angels.
Possible Scrapped or unused cherub

The unused lion cherub.

  • Helluva Boss's version of Cherubs draws more from the pop-culture version of the Angel as winged infants with "cute animal" themes mixed in. The Biblical concept of the Cherubim was noted during the creation process, before it was decided to expand upon the pop-culture versions due to Helluva Boss being a cartoon and didn't have to strictly follow the Biblical depiction.[2]
    • Other scripture-related animal themes were explored in development, such as lions and donkeys, the former being a reference to the passage, "The lion and the lamb".[2] This included a scrapped cherub based on a lion that would have served as the parallel to Loona.[2]
