Angelics describe the pterolykos as a beast designed to be faithful and protective, serving as a natural companion to angelics of various ranks and as a friend to sapients in need of help. The canine form is said to have been chosen for its familiarity and for the long history between the [[wolf]] and most sapients, in an apparent effort to make these creatures intrinsically likable and trustworthy.
Within the angelic hierarchy, pterolykoi are '''D-rank''', above [[cherub|cherubs]], at the same level as [[angel|angels]], and under all C-rank angelics; [[shrine maiden|shrine maidens]], [[feathered serpent|feathered serpents]], and [[guardian angel|guardian angels]].
