A flying creature that resembles a skeleton, except cheerful. It shoots flaming arrows that sets you on fire. It will only attack you if you attack it or one of the other ones around it.
It will be a lighter shade of gray than skeletons, and will wear a white robe with gold colored trim. It will have white wings that if hit, will fall off and can be picked up by the player.
They will generally appear in groups of 2-4, and will drop "Lightstone Bows" if killed. The bow will quickly shoot flaming arrows if used by the player. They will giggle if approached.
If they hit water, they cannot use their wings until they get at least 1 block away from the water (so they can dry off).
TLDR: Basically a flying white Skeleton in a robe that shoots flaming arrows. The Zombie Pigmen of the Aether.
EDIT: Also, not a rip off of an angel. Just a merger of Ghasts, Zombie Pigmen, and Skeletons.
The main thing to understand is that, yes, The Aether is a "Heavenly" wide open dimension of Light, Air, and Water that exists above the Overworld, and functions as an opposite of the Nether that is a "Hellish" enclosed dimension of Darkness, Rock, and Fire that exists below the Overworld. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS SAFE

Hell.
Heaven.

How about comparing the Aether to the definition of the word:
"the ancient Greek personification of the clear upper air of the sky" or "the upper pure, bright air"
Or even go by the etymology of Aether:
from aithein "to burn, shine" or from aither "upper air"
You may compare it to heaven, but I will compare it to this.

I once saw a chicken push a creeper off of a cliff. I never looked at chickens the same way ever again. That is of course until I needed feathers.

The Nether is simply rocky, dark, and lava-filled. The center of real-life planets are rocky, dark, and lava-filled. Are the centers of planets Hell? No. The Nether was called such for temporary usage due to its similarities of modern depictions of you-know-where. The definition of Aether is as Zopah said. Heavenly does not mean Heaven. It's a way of saying something is nice. Hellish does not necessarily mean Hell. It means something is wretched or bad. Oh, and I see you haven't replied to what I've said. Go on. You still have not given me a valid response. Unless you are afraid...
seriously, what is the issue with using airships to get there? If you would actually read the airship thread, or at least most of it, you would understand that it is very balanced and would not be reachable until late game.
Wonderfully amazing super cool idea
For all the haters of this: It does go with the concept of the nether being a completely opposite place but even if it does get put in its not like you HAVE to go to it so please vote like!
I love this idea! It's so much better than the idea of a heavenly place I came up with myself! GO AETHER!!
Edit: I forgot to say, I think either the glider is to easy to make, or the glider makes it to easy.
You may notice that there's no description for the glider. most likely it would need to be one use only (landing breaks it? dunno) or the recipe may need to use sails (multiple pieces of cloth and string) in place of the cloth or ladders or fences or something in place of sticks. At this point it's fairly secondary.
At first I didn't really like another realm in minecraft.
but as I've seen this grow and expand, I can now confidently say "I support"
Congrats Grey, this is stellar work.
Holy crap, why didn't i notice this for 2 entire pages? We'll have to add a "muncher approved" logo to the banner image or something. Kidding aside, It's definitely cool to get added to your exclusive list of approved suggestions.

whats with the senty? why is it a shoop-da-woop? i think sentries should be more of some floating mass of rotating symmetrical crystals or stones!
Mostly it's to establish that the sentries are NOT just copies of the sentries from LoZ.(despite the fact that they TOTALLY ARE the inspiration for them) It's also to embrace the rather meme-ish feel that minecraft contributes to. Also, it shoots lasers out of its mouth, what other concept could possibly be more fitting? Don't think of it as purely shoop da whoop, think of it more like Chinese guardian lion dogs with shoop da whoop faces.

I can just see some treasure hunters in SMP find a temple for the first time, and they're about to open the treasure chest when all of the sudden the Sentries get on Shoop faces and say "DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS BLAAHAHAHH!" simultaneously before blasting them with their lazers. It'll be like everyone's first Creeper attack all over.

Muncher is right, listen to him, he can cure the blind and make paraplegics walk.

Except the sentries only blind and knock you back if you're trying to break a block of the temple. I was thinking more of a "shoop da whoop!" effect when they knock you back and blind you, and then a "Firin ma lasar!" effect when they're disintegrating blocks you place.

Important stuff gets buried way too quick in this thread, seriously. It also never gets any real/good replies. I think it's a minecraft thing in general. Remember the octopus?
Can you give me a mockup of figure A using a more light gold hue on the wings, instead of the pink I started with, but then also have the wing texture extend onto the Phyg like what you did in Fig B? Also you don't have the wings bent properly on Fig A. so they're not looking right.
Direct damage is also a no-no. So no.

How is gold prohibitive and glowstone not? How the hell do you end up with more glowstone than gold?
Edit: I'm assuming this statement was aimed specifically at my idea of gold and nothing else on purpose. If that's not true, do say so.

I had a signature here before, but I seem to have misplaced it..
That sounds cool!
But I don't think it should be for the sentries. Maybe there could be one big huge one that is sort of a boss mob?

Eh, I think Grey said that 1/8 is a bit too much, and if anything it would be 1/2 or 2/1 or something.
haha I've considered making an image like that! But yeah At first I was skeptical, but it won me over.
i was thinking it could look something like the second boss from Kirby 64, except a bit different:
