Their phenomenal speed allows them to close distances of meters literally in the blink of an eye. When they are not being observed by another being, Weeping Angels can move very quickly and silently. It is also implied that Weeping Angels can mimic the forms or dimensions of a broader range of statuary if required: in " The Angels Take Manhattan" (2012), one Weeping Angel takes the form (or hijacks the existing form) of the Statue of Liberty (manifesting as a full-size Liberty with Weeping Angel features) and the final moments of " Blink" (2007) suggest that any statue might be a disguised Weeping Angel. It is not explicitly stated that these are young Weeping Angels, but they are referred to as "the babies". Unlike the Weeping Angels, the cherubim are not silent, making a childlike giggling and having audible footsteps. In the episode "The Angels Take Manhattan", another form of Weeping Angel is shown, the cherubim. However, as they close in on more aware victims they transform to a more horrific, bestial, and demonic aspect with wide-open mouths, vampiric teeth, and clawed hands. Generally, their facial features are bland and serene and their proportions human-normal. Apart from the wings, their standard form appears to mimic Earth humans (two arms, two legs, two eyes) even when they are infiltrating worlds on which the inhabitants differ from this form. In their usual form, Weeping Angels resemble silent human-sized stone statues in the form of winged angels in draped clothing (such as might appear as tomb statuary in a Victorian graveyard). The Cherubim angels, shown at the Doctor Who Experience. The Doctor describes the Weeping Angels as "the only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely" because their victims are otherwise uninjured and may live out long and potentially fulfilling lives in the past. Their usual mode of feeding is to make use of time paradoxes – with a single touch, a Weeping Angel can send a person into the past to a point before their own birth, and can then feed off the "potential energy" of the years which that victim would have lived in the present.
According to the Doctor, the Weeping Angels "are as old as the universe (or very nearly), but no one quite knows where they come from." He also describes them as "the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life-form evolution has ever produced." Weeping Angels are unusual as predators in that they neither kill nor directly parasitize their prey.
