Summary

Sandalphon is the Eight Angel. Discovered deep inside a volcano in a embryonic state, NERV attempted to capture it, but this plan failed as the angel quickly hatched and changing the top priority to destroying it instead.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 7-A, High 7-A with A.T. Field

Name: Sandalphon, the Eight Angel

Origin: Evangelion

Age: Minutes Old (While Sandalphon's soul was deposited into a physical body immediately after the events of "Second Impact" on 13th September 2000, it was in an embryonic state right until being found by NERV)

Gender: N/A

Classification: Angel, Offspring of Adam

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 1-2, bigger than Unit-02), Adaptation and Accelerated Development (Angels are capable of adapting to their environment,^[1] with Larval Angels shown to reach an adult state seconds after hatching^[1]), Forcefield Creation (A.T. Fields are force-field barriers which Angels. Conventional weapons are effectively useless in penetrating an A.T. Field; the only thing that do so is usually another A.T. Field^[2]), Quantum Manipulation and Shapeshifting (A person's ego boundary is what forms their shape^[3] and keeps it from breaking down. Also, as shown by Shinji and other Lilin as a whole they are able to reform their bodies after being turned into a quantum state/pure LCL.^[3] Angels scale to Humanity as share they same nature because of the latter being the 18th Angel/Lilin, furthermore they possess a stronger A.T. Field, which is shown to be the ego boundary during the events of the Third Impact^[4]), Self-Sustenance (Type 1, 2, and 3. Angels have shown repeatedly to not require oxygen and get endless energy from their S² Engines so they don't require sustenance^[5]), Regeneration (High-Low, Low-High over time. Angels are capable of regenerating relatively large wounds^[2] And as long as an Angel's core and S² Engine is intact, it can theoretically regenerate the damaged tissue, given enough time), Resistance to Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (The A.T Field is the ego boundary that keeps a being's individuality and that protects the heart/soul from outside influence^[5]) Heat Manipulation, and Magma Manipulation (Adapted to the High-Heat and pressure of being well over a thousand meters deep in magma^[1])

Attack Potency: Mountain level (Damaged Unit-02's D Type Equipment), Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (A.T. Fields can be used offensively to bypass those of others)

Speed: Hypersonic+ combat speed and reactions (Comparable in speed to Unit-02, who fought angels capable of reacting to the Pallet Gun's Mach 14+ bullets)

Lifting Strength: Class G (Easilly dragged Unit-02 in it's mouth)

Striking Strength: Mountain level

Durability: Mountain level (Unit-02's attacks did little to no damage), Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (An A.T. Field's strength is derived by the soul, which should be around the same caliber among the angels. Sachiel and Israfel's A.T Fields allowed them to survive a direct N2 mine detonation)

Stamina: Infinite (S² engines provide limitless motive energy)

Range: Tens of Meters via sheer size

Standard Equipment: None

Intelligence: Unknown

Weaknesses: The "core" of an Angel, once breached, means absolute certainty of death for the Angel involved. Was defeated by Unit-02 sending coolant inside of it's body, causing a thermal expansion.

Notable Attacks/Techniques

• A.T. Field: The intangible light of the soul in the physical world, A.T. Fields are possessed by all living beings on NGE-Earth and are one of the major aspects of the human psyche that defines someone as "individual" and "protect" them from the intrusion of another's feelings. However, the Evangelion Units and the Angels are unique in the ability to generate A.T. Fields that are corporeal and occasionally visible to the naked eye, possibly due to the large amount of innate energy contained in their souls. Their A.T. Fields mostly function as a physical defence: a forcefield consisting of concentric octagonal yellow lines. The barrier is almost perfect, only being temporarily disrupted from its active state by incredibly energetic weapons (such as military-grade positron beams and "N² Weapons") or erosion by another corporeal "A.T. Field" that is superior in strength. If left alone after initial disruption, the A.T. Field will revive its durability almost instantly as long as the user is still alive, making it a regenerative barrier. The transition from a dormant A.T. Field to an active Field is indicated by a slight atmospheric blurring.
