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 some mechanical additions. Most curious among the latter is the "mock entry plug"[1]) dangling from the Angel's neck section.
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) and promptly began ascending to the top of the base. Eva-05, piloted by Mari Makinami Illustrious, was deployed, and was able to chase down the Angel, pin it to one of the Angel-sealing hex pillars in Acheron, and crush the core.
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.
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).
