* ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': The "Sleeping Ruler" Dino is a [[MaouTheDemonKing True Demon Lord]] that is a fallen angel [[spoiler:specifically a Seraphim and one of the first seven angels in existence]]. At first glance you wouldn't know it since, aside from his silver hair with purple streaks, he looks like an otherwise normal guy, if [[LazyBum lethargic and work-adverse to the extreme]]. When he actually bothers to, he can summon forth his ''six'' pairs of wings, six of said wings being black-feathered and the other six being white-feathered. His two "subordinates"/friends [[spoiler:and fellow seraphim]] are also fallen. Normally, angels are [[HolyBurnsEvil too aligned to the Holy element to allow the demonic Demon Lord Seed to take root]], but his "impurity" allows him to be an exception. The reason he's a fallen is because [[spoiler:when [[DragonsAreDivine True Dragon]] [[GodIsDead Veldanava died]], in a rage he descended from Heaven and wiped out the nation that was responsible to the last inhabitant and almost went on a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum before he saw Veldanava's infant daughter Milim Nava and couldn't bring himself to go through with it. Also, despite his "fallen" status, it turns out that many of his angel comrades haven't taken Veldanava's death any better than he did, just being more subtle about it.]]

* ''Fanfic/LovesSacrifices'': While the Mesopotamian deities wouldn't be classified as angels, Inanna and Lamashtu technically serve as this to Hastur's SatanicArchetype. In mythology, both Inanna and Lamashtu are children of [[TopGod Anu]], and are credited as the Queen of Heaven and Daughter of Heaven respectively. In Inanna's case, Hastur wooed and manipulated her into falling in love with her, invoking the images of Eve in Eden. Lamashtu on the other hand, willingly bent the knee to Hastur as an act of rebellion against her divine family.

** In UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}, there is much debate among scholars on whether Iblis (their version of {{Satan}}) and his followers are fallen angels or evil [[OurGeniesAreDifferent jinn]]. Doesn't help that he has been described as both an angel AND a jinn in Literature/TheQuran. It is commonly believed that Iblis is a jinn because angels are viewed by many as having no free will, therefore they cannot rebel. (Though doctrine never flat-out states if they have free will or not either)

* ''WesternAnimation/AngelWars'':
** Unsurprisingly given the setting, these serve as antagonists. In particular, Morg is an angel who fell some time after Satan did.
** Some fallen angels are more or less neutral in the heaven-versus-hell conflict, but they can be pretty pathetic, such as a BlindSeer who needed Michael's help to escape an island.

* ''Anime/PowerOfHopePrecureFullBloom'': The BigBad of the anime, Bell, resembles an angel with black wings and [[HornsOfVillainy curved horns]]. [[spoiler:She was once the town's GuardianAngel, but after witnessing anthropogenic climate change render it uninhabitable, she became a violent misanthrope and created [[LivingShadow Shadows]] to punish humans for their greed. When her ultimate Shadow [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turns on her]] and tries to destroy buildings indiscriminately, Bell realizes the error of her ways and her wings turn a more traditionally angelic white.]]

* In ''Series/PennyDreadful'', both Satan ''and Dracula'' are fallen angels, the former consigned to a spirit form in Hell and the latter, to a feral vampiric form on Earth. Although originally this made Satan by far the more powerful of the two, declining mortal fear of the Devil in post-medieval times has weakened Satan, while Dracula's millennia of worldly experience has made him stronger. By the show's Victorian-era setting, the unnatural abilities they can bring to bear in the mortal world are about even.
