The Seraphim, or the Burning Ones, are the highest rank of the angelic hosts, the mightiest servants of the good gods. They have six wings and but one face, and are said to sometimes take the forms of fiery serpents.

“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.”
-KJV Bible, Isaiah 6:1-3.

Useful Info

Seraphim are flying holy beings, the rugged, upgraded version of angels. Like angels, they can slightly heal themselves. Beyond their large stats, they differ in equipment: they always spawn with a highly-enchanted flaming great sword and either pearl dragon armour or fire dragon armour. They are extremely rare, only appearing once in holy-themed Pandemonium.

Tips & Tricks

Worshipping a good god (Zin, the Shining One, or Elyvilon) may cause it to calm down and become neutral towards you. This feature will be removed in 0.15, though.

As this monster is solely encountered in holy-themed Pandemonium, it is worth noting that an extremely resilient, normal-speed monster with only melee damage is not much of a threat compared to its level companions, such as pearl dragons.
