Angels and Devils Hidden on Earth
Born spirits can take many forms in order to hide on the mortal plain.
Devils will often come to Earth disguised as humans, humanoids, crows, rabbits, and dogs (often either a hairless Mexican dog breed, or a black dog), among many other forms. Most often, they are on Earth to be cruel to or try and trick mortals, primarily for their own amusement.
Angels will oftentimes take the forms of humans, humanoids, doves, and cats, among others. Their appearance seems to be mostly to ward off Devils, and to offer people kindness and peace.
