Arael is the 15th Angel and the main antagonist of Episode 22 in Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series. This multi-winged entity was considered one of the strongest Angels due to its ability to attack a victim's mind through extremely long distance, right at the almost unreachable place - out of the Earth's atmosphere.
Though it was eventually killed, the entity had left traumatic damage on Asuka's mind, temporarily stripping her the ability to pilot her Eva.
Appearance
Arael is a multi-winged, giant entity whose whole body (with the exception of the core that held outside its main body by two smaller wings) is seemingly made out of intense white light which is so bright that one cannot see its core. Its wingspan was estimated to be several times larger than an Evangelion, based on its size relative to the Spear of Longinus when speared by it.
When pierced by the Spear of Longinus, Arael's body breaks down and swirls into a vortex, finally vanishing in a pinpoint of light. An outburst of red blood is briefly visible upon the Spear's exit, implies that the creature possesses flesh and bone like some Angels before it, albeit coated by bright light.
Biography
While other Angels engage any Angel-based entities or anything that stood in their way on sight in physical fights, Arael assaults its target psychologically, ripping their psyche wide open and analysing their memories, forcing their victim to relive these memories, no matter how traumatic they are. Arael's exact motives for attacking Asuka are left ambiguous - it may have genuinely sought to learn about the human mind, or was simply using this process as a direct attack - but its goal in using this attack was clear; eliminate all resistance and bring about Third Impact.
