The Third Angel is an addition to the Angel pantheon introduced in Evangelion 2.0, a skeletal, vaguely dragon-like creature ultimately destroyed by Eva-05.
Profile
The Angel was excavated from permafrost (how it got there is not divulged) and captured by Nerv. Subsequently, it was contained in deep freeze in Bethany Base's Cocytus facility, where it was subjected to thorough experimentation and analysis, eventually reduced to nothing more than "some bones", its core, and mechanical additions. Most curious among the latter is the "mock entry plug"[1] dangling from the Angel's neck section.
The Third Angel's range of powers include eye-facilitated explosions and concentrated energy beams, levitation, and using its halo as a cutting device. Its original physical appearance is unknown. What remains of the skeleton are skull, spine, and insectoid limbs. The Angel has very long neck and tail sections, with a deeply curved, bulbous vertebral mid-section, held in alignment by a gold-plated brace, to which the limbs (four arms and four legs) attach. The skull possesses three mandibles and houses the core.
Battle
At the beginning of Eva 2.0, the Angel escaped from Cocytus, probably released by Kaji as a distraction to facilitate his escape with Nebuchadnezzar's Key. Completely untouched by the lineup of tanks waiting for it outside, it promptly entered the Styx Shaft and began its ascent to the top of the base. The provisional Eva-05, piloted by Mari Makinami Illustrious, was deployed and quickly intercepted the Angel. The Eva's initial lance strike was parried by the Angel's A.T. Field, and it proceeded to the Limbo Area unfettered while Mari struggled to turn the Eva's "dead weight" around.
Using its halo, the 3rd Angel sliced through the ceiling of the Limbo Area and levitated to Bethany Base's rooftop, Acheron. Eva-05 caught up while the Angel scaled the an Angel-sealing hex pillar and impaled it through the mock entry plug. This disabled the Angel for only a moment, and it swiftly retaliated with an optical beam to one of the Eva's legs, and soon followed up by excising the legs altogether. Mari, struggling against depleting battery power that made her unable to synchronize with the Eva's prosthetic limbs properly, was forced to yield control of one arm to the Eva itself, and together they crushed the core.
Eva-05's self-destruct activated right as the 3rd Angel died, and both they and the top of Bethany Base went up in two giant blazing crosses.
Name
No official name has yet been announced. In the meantime, the Angel is often referred to as "Tunniel" by the English-speaking fandom. The name derives from the first sightings in trailers, where little about the Angel could be discerned aside from the fact that it was in the same tunnel-like space as Eva-05 (eventually learned to be the shafts of Bethany Base).
