* Mavis Vermilion in ''FairyTail'', only on the heard. She doesn't seem to be able to use them for flying, though.

* The antagonist of ''DomuAChildsDream'' wears a hat with wings. He has godlike PsychicPowers, though the hat is just a regular novelty hat that he killed somebody for with said powers.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' has Mario's wing cap, which allows him to fly.

* Winona, the flying type gym leader from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', has tufts of hair that are shaped like wings that stick out of her aviator helmet and goggles. It is for stylistic purposes only, though.

* In VideoGame/''{{Scribblenauts}}'', one of the many ways you can make Maxwell fly is to write winged sandals. You could also write winged helmet but it doesn't fly.

* [[LyricalNanoha Nanoha's]] Flier Fin and its upgraded version, Axel Fin.

* Harpuia from ''MegaManZero'' wears a winged helmet (purely for decor) along with having thruster containing mechanical wings on his back. Very fast moving when airborne to the point where he is one of the only things in the series that can actually outrun Zero (and Zero's quite fast himself). This is an AntiVillain or HeroAntagonist example, if not both.
* All of the members of the High Entia race in ''XenobladeChronicles'' have large white wings on their heads [[spoiler: though the ones that are part Homs usually have smaller wings]]. A random, easily missable NPC mentions that while they can be used for flight, few of them bother to learn how due to the amount of training it requires, [[spoiler: making one such display during a sidequest all the more sudden.]]

There are characters who have wings or use substitutes in different ways like [[EarWings using gigantic ears]] or [[HairWings magically in hair]]. But then we have characters who have grown or were born with actual wings attached to both sides of their heads.In some cases people don't have wings on their heads, but on their feet. It's FridgeLogic to consider how they can even fly in the first place.

* Bosworth the dog in ''AliasTheJester'' has wings sprouting from his head that let him fly. It's not clear whether Alias himself wears a winged mask or a mask with holes in it for his wings, but he can fly as well. (When he's Jester, his wings would be covered by his jester's hat.)
