Angelic Weapons. The ceryx's weapon attacks are magical. When the ceryx hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 7 (2d6) radiant damage (included in the attack).
Innate Spellcasting. The ceryx's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 16). The ceryx can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:
At will: bless, detect evil and good
1/day each: dispel evil and good, raise dead
Magic Resistance. The ceryx has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Description
The angel appeared as if the sun opened and let it through, riding a great horned and winged beast. The cat-like creature landed gracefully, bowing its plate armored head, and everyone watching could feel the aura of warmth and gentleness emanating from it.
Great protectors. Those who call upon the help of celestials might find a cat-like creature appear before them, a winged and armored beast. A ceryx is the steed of the high angels such as planetars and solars. But they are more than just a mount: a ceryx is imbued with good energy that allow it to heal those who are hurt and smite those who have done wrong. It is a formidable foe in battle, and its claws and horn sear radiant pain.
Wise souls. Besides their ability to destroy evil and help good, ceryx are also great advisors and intelligent speakers. They are wise creatures that fully understand the paradigms of life. The simplicity of a humanoid’s mind may baffle them, but they are wound to provide the words one needs to hear, whether that is to stand up against evil, to support those wounded by it, or to fulfill some great deed that it is destined to do.
