Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's twice now I've seen the dog named Uriel.

I've once seen a cat named Michael, but in that instance, Cas was the only angel-named human, and Michael was his cat. In the Uriel instances, there was a brood of angel siblings, and Uriel didn't make the human cut.

Because books.

What is everafter? Is it fairy tales, or just plain romance?

The thing about souls -- If you've got one, of course -- Is they're predictable. You die, you go up or down. Where do my kind go?

But in context with discussion of purgatory. Pretty strong indication that monsters go to puratory.

And as where other monster come from. Remember Eve has been here before. Explicitly said she created all the monsters. Well some of the monsters had the ability to reproduce either by um reporducing or by turning people.

Not contending that. However, it's also a strong indicator that monsters don't have souls.

Well some of the monsters had the ability to reproduce either by um reporducing or by turning people.

Haven't we had origins or implications of origins for quite a few? I mean, for ongoing reproduction? The assumption would be, for instance, that dragons breed, werewolves and vampires turn, wendigos are created through corruption, etc. It's not rare. Eve's posited as the *original* creator of monsters, not as their ongoing creator. Maybe she's hoarding souls to make new new monsters. But the soul market picking up is new. That's the point of the season.

Disney movie adaptations. They've done Swiss Family Robinson and The Incredibles so far.

Of all things to do fusions of for a challenge, why Disney?

Pretty good indicator that monsters do have souls. Otherwise what goes to purgatory? But yeah monsters do reproduce. Still it seems like they have to be originally made out of souls. But not arguing it is going to turn out the continuing monsters made out of souls. But could turn out that way. I mean if someone is turned (a la vamped) could argue that it is a transformation of the soul. Regular reproduction - well maybe a human soul gets snagged somewhere along the way. Once it turned out that demons were jumped up ghosts it just occured to me that it would good story telling, appropriately grim, if all supernatural beings were ghosts. For monsters, not canon, but not a huge thing to justify. For Angels and Gods, much harder but I can think of a way. However,not saying the show will even go there with monsters. Saying that it would be good story telling and not that hard to justify. "Ghosts all the way down" (in analogy to turtles all the way down) would fit in with the extremely dark world building.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I can easily see gods being human beings from the distant past who gained immortality and power through people's belief, or just being created whole cloth by belief like the "ghost" in "Hell House." But the show's been pretty clear about the angels predating humanity.
