The Aralez is type of supernatural creature that looks like a winged wolf or a winged dog. They dwell in the caves of Mount Ararat, and these beings often fly at high altitudes in the sky. They were also connected to the spirit realm, and they assisted the souls of dead warriors into the afterlife. Sometimes the Aralez could heal and bring back the dead. This legend comes from Armenian folklore. There is something very angelic about the Aralez who share many characteristics with a lot of benign ethereal beings.
Linking to all of this is a story called Ara the Beautiful. It's said that there was a war between the Armenian King Ara the Beautiful and Queen Semiramis of Assyria. Many had died and Queen Semiramis commanded her soldiers to locate her lover. All of the dead were to be placed inside her castle and this included the body of Ara, who was considered one of the nobles and given a tomb in an upper chamber. The Armenians announced war again and the queen said: "I have commanded the gods to lick wounds and they shall live again." It seemed Queen Semiramis kept the fallen warriors for that reason.
