Cherub

Cherubs are a race of aliens, first introduced as a concept on HS 6992 (this) page, then described on HS 6993 (this) page. They have the appearance of green-skinned humanoids with skull-like heads, with spiral patterns on their cheeks that appear to reflect their blood color, and dark areas under their eyes similar to that of the Trolls. They also have claw-like hands, sharp teeth and white forked tongues. Cherubs cannot feel love as humans do, or even as trolls can with matespritship. Instead, they rarely see other cherubs except to mate, which is highly violent, and implied to be comparable to troll kismesisitude. Cherub ancestors precede them by millennia, and they never know their actual parents, much like trolls. They also seem to have a range of blood colors, similar to the troll hemospectrum, although possibly with less variation. Calliope's keyboard and the text on her screen seem to indicate that cherubs communicate using the Daedric alphabet, but this could simply be another example of Calliope's affinity for troll culture.

Known cherubs include Calliope, Caliborn and, perhaps,. If is indeed a cherub, this suggests that the cheek spirals may merge into a more circular shape in adult cherubs, or that cheek marks vary from cherub to cherub. It is unclear whether might "merely" be one example of a cherub, or whether he may instead be more of an archetype leading to the creation of the race. If the former is true, one theory is that uu may turn out to be a young, 's transformation notwithstanding. It could also explain why trolls think that paradox space uses angels to usher in the apocalypse.

Cherubs seem to enjoy consuming a substance called HS 6708 (Special Stardust). It is inedible to most creatures and resembles a large box of glitter.

Their appearance resembles the Billy puppet used by Jigsaw in the Saw films.
