** 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)

Added DiffLines:

* ''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.

Added DiffLines:

* ''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.
