Sariel

sariel is an event nextbot that will hunt down players in nico's nextbots. It can appear in the Geminus Event.
sariel was accidentally added on November 11th, 2023, and was later released on March 17th, 2024, within the St. Patrick's Day Update.
==Overview==

|-|Appearance=
=== Appearance ===
sariel appears to be a deep-fried eyeball with a pitch-black, dilated pupil, and its eyeball was connected with two realistic feathered bird wings. It also seems to have bloodstains on its wings. The eyeball has faint traces of blood in it, even though it was deep-fried, as are the highlights. It also has faint white "halos" around its eye, due to it being slightly poorly cropped. It has the appearance of a "biblically accurate angel."
The animation for this bot has a low framerate in terms of timing: the wings flap up and down, and the eyeball tilts side to side. The nextbot also emits a red glow and translucent black fog, and if you look closely, you can see that its wings are slightly pixelated due to them being edited. For the eyeball, some of the shading has a dithering effect, which was done in Paint.NET.
|-|Audio=
=== Audio ===
sariel emits distorted growling sounds for its proximity audio, while its jumpscare audio emits a violent and distorted screech.
It also shares its jumpscare audio with ramiel.

==Origin==

=== Image ===
sariel's wings originate from an image posted on iStock, titled "Complete wing of grey bird isolated on white stock photo", which was uploaded on 26/08/2006. The uploader behind the unedited image was Grafissimo.
There's not much information about the origin of the image of the eye, but it could be made from the original creation.
|-|Audio=
=== Audio ===
Every audio emitted by sariel is the same as every audio emitted by ramiel, except the majority of them were sped up to 2.032 in Audacity.
Its jumpscare audio comes from this Roblox audio.

==Gameplay==
===Strategy / Ability===
sariel has an ability where once it is spawned in, it will stop and create a trail towards a player. Once it has created its trail, sariel will charge towards the player that the trail followed. After reaching its destination, it will stop again and create another trail. The color of the trail it walks on is a dark greenish yellow. If the player dies in a safe zone or is in the air, it will either stop in place, create a trail to a random location, or zoom around the arena at a very high speed.

==Trivia==
*sariel is considered a "secret" nextbot due to the fact that it cannot be spawned using the admin panel, but it can be spawned by triggering the Geminus event using the admin panel or by the game.
*sariel cannot be possessed by players. The same thing goes for ramiel.
*The name "sariel" actually refers to an angel (watcher) leader called "Angel Sariel".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sariel
* sariel and ramiel will constantly respawn every 1 frame if they are unable to use their trail creation ability to find the player they are targeting, causing them to look like they are swiftly moving across the map.
* Many people in the community believed that sariel and ramiel were interpreted as "void bots". Void bots are supposed to be nextbots that spawn out of bounds, and once a player glitches out of the map they are currently in, the void bots will chase them.
**However, when the St. Patrick's Day Update came out, this idea was scrapped, and it was made into an event nextbot.
*sariel is inspired by an archangel with the same name. According to the Book of Enoch (20:1,6), Sariel is the angel "in charge of the spirits of men who sin". The name was mentioned alongside the other six archangels, "the holy watching angels". However, in the game, this nextbot was considered "fallen".
*There was another way to spawn sariel by using the custom nextbots feature. If you named a custom nextbot "sariel" and spawned it in, sariel would spawn in instead of the custom nextbot. However, the jumpscare/killfeed icon and the jumpscare sound would be the same as the jumpscare audio ID and image you entered. This was overused and caused sariel to be on public servers. Also, the proximity audio you gave to the custom nextbot would have been used for sariel, but it would have been higher pitched.https://youtu.be/L6Pv3lQQKYo?t=93 (at 1:33)
**However, the custom nextbots feature has been disabled due to this, but it will be reworked on in the future.420px
**When Part 1 of the Winter Update came out, custom nextbots was enabled again, and if a player were to try to spawn sariel, they would discover that it was patched because the game was programmed to think that there was already an existing nextbot with the same name.
*Initially, sariel was broken, as it was unable to target the player, and it would appear as a still image of its killfeed icon.
** The same thing happened to ramiel.
**This bug was since fixed in the St. Patrick's Day Update.
*Players cannot force sariel away from them using the wav gun.
**The same thing goes for ramiel.
