Arael (アラエル, Araeru) (Hebrew: אראל) is the 15th Angel. Arael is notable for its ability to attack the human psyche directly through the application of its A.T. Field. Combined with its extreme range, Arael was one of the most dangerous Angels. It is preceded by Zeruel and succeeded by Armisael.

Arael appears as a jagged, winged creature made of intense light that hovers around Earth. Its body appears to be made of bright blue light. Its Core, difficult to see due to the Angel's own luminosity, is held outside its main body by two inferior wings. Its total wingspan seems to be several times larger than that of an Evangelion, based on its size relative to the Spear of Longinus, though Arael and an Eva never physically meet directly. Arael uses an odd application of its A.T. Field to directly probe a human mind, visually represented as a diffuse ray of light. This probe is psychologically traumatic, though it is unclear if this harm was intentional or a byproduct of an information gathering probe.
