Cherubim

Cherubim is a very rare small bonus bird found across all chapters of Mewgenics. With only 2 HP and 5 movement, it is extremely fragile but fast. It enters battle bolstered by Holy Shield and acts as a support unit, using its Bless ability to heal nearby allies and grant them additional shield stacks. Like other holy enemies, it is immune to Holy damage and gains All Stats Up when struck by Holy attacks.

When damaged, the Cherubim primes an area attack: it retreats beyond the battlefield temporarily before crashing back down onto a targeted area, dealing heavy damage and stunning any units caught in the impact zone. This retaliation mechanic means attacking a Cherubim without killing it can backfire spectacularly, as the crash landing can devastate clustered cats. Killing a Cherubim grants the killer a rare or very rare item, and it may drop the Lost Soul neck equipment, which revives the wearer to full HP the first time they are downed each battle.

The Lost Soul drop makes Cherubim one of the most valuable bonus birds in the game, as it essentially provides a free extra life per battle. To safely kill one, use a single high-damage attack to bypass its 2 HP before it can trigger its crash retaliation. Avoid using Holy attacks entirely. Cherubim represent the most frequently-cited angels in the Hebrew Bible, understood as divine beings ranking above messenger angels. During The Creator boss fight's fourth phase, several Cherubim are knocked out by the boss's attacks.
