History Main / FeatherFlechettes

* Emperor Griffon in ''VideoGame/DarkCloud2'' rains a shower of projectiles down from his wings. As he TurnsRed, he drops to the ground and transforms his wings into [[DualWielding actual swords]].

* In ''FanFic/CatchYourBreath'', a ''{{Manga/Naruto}}'' fanfic, the main character's [[SummonMagic summon contract]] is for a crane named Tsuruya who can launch her feathers in the same way her master can wield kunai.
* One of the antagonists of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'' is a pegasus named Hildread. Her right wing is completely metallic, and she can throw razor-sharp metallic feathers from it.
* In ''Fanfic/MiraculousThePhoenixRises'', the titular Phoenix Mage, the BigBad, uses flurries of razor-sharp feathers to attack.

* [[spoiler:Mr. Chicken]] in ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}''. It caused a little damage, but enough to reliably disrupt spellcasting.

* In ''VideoGame/MegaMan6'', one of Tomahawk Man's two means of offense is to sling the feathers of his headdress at you (The other being [[AnAxeToGrind his namesake]]).

* Kirby does this in ''Super Star''. His Wing form and the Wing partner can fire projectile feathers, and cause damage when they flap their feathers.
** Kirby's owl partner Coo obtains this ability when using the Cutter ability in ''[[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2 Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', shooting three razor sharp feathers straight forward, diagonally up, and diagonally down.

* From the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series, we have [[OminousOwl Storm Owl]] who fires out spreads of these. [[PeacockGirl Cyber Peacock]] and [[CreepyCrows Wind Crowrang]] fire feathers that are ''homing and explosive''.

Alternatively, the character may opt to use their feathers as [[RazorWings melee weapons]] (similar to {{kni|feNut}}ves or especially WolverineClaws) to slice and dice the opponent at close range.

* The [[BreathWeapon breath weapon]] of the dragons of C'iel in ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'' is this (feathers of light), and instead of damage can cause the target(s) to stop fighting if desired so.

* In ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=wing%20shards Wing Shards]] does this in the flavor. As for how it works mechanically...[[AWizardDidIt well, this is Magic.]]

* Living statues are common low-level monsters in the Basic/Expert/etc. version of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. One variant of the crystal statue is a justified example of this trope, as it's equipped with ''metal'' wings that inflict slashing melee attacks.

* The [[BreathWeapon breath weapon]] of the dragons of C'iel in ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'' is this (feathers of light), and instead of damage can cause the target(s) to stop fighting if desired so.

* An [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic]] power in ''VideoGame/NexusWar''.

** Toristan, the masked (and [[spoiler:chicken-faced]] [[HalfHumanHybrids birdman]] from '' Ranma ½ TheMovie 2: Nihao My Concubine'', wears a feather-lined coat that he employs precisely for this purpose.

* The [[OminousOwl Peepsta Hoo]] Dream Eater in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' uses these (Referred to as "feather shuriken" ingame). They're weak, but homing, make you stagger for a lengthy amount of time, are frequently launched in volleys, and can inflict StandardStatusEffects if the user performed an EnemyScan beforehand. Predictably, this makes the owls GoddamnedBats.

* Konan of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' can do this, due to the fact that her "feathers" [[PaperMaster are actually sheets of paper.]]
* Eve in ''Manga/BlackCat'' does this once when fighting two AxCrazy Numbers.
** In her case it actually makes sense, seeing as she can change the mass and composition of any part of her body at will.

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', [[spoiler: [[UltimateLifeform Kars]] can do this once he gains the power of the [[ArtifactOfDoom stone mask]] and [[MineralMacGuffin Red stone of Aja]] to enhance his already formidable abilities.]]

** ''Anime/DigimonAdventureZeroTwo'' has Hawkmon's signature Feather Strike attack, where he removes the extra feather on his head and flings it like a bladed boomerang.

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', [[spoiler: [[UltimateLifeform Cars]] can do this once he gains the power of the [[ArtifactOfDoom stone mask]] and [[MineralMacGuffin Red stone of Asia]] to enhance his already formidable abilities.]]

** One-off character [[MamaBear Swanmon]] from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' uses an attack called Down Tornado in an attempt to fight off the [[ArcVillain Royal Knights]]. Crusadermon simply [[NoSell deflects the feathers]] with her ribbons.

* Peckmon from ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' does this with his Kunai Wing attack.
