History Main / WindFromBeneathMyWings

* ‘’VideoGame/PaperMario’’: optional boss Buzzar has an attack like this.

* ''VideoGame/Pokemon'': Moves like Gust, Hurricane and Whirlwind can be assumed to work this way when used by most Flying-type Pokémon.

* in the ''{{Discworld}}'', the Quantum Weather Butterfly is ''the'' species responsible for storms and tornadoes. You've heard of chaos theory and the idea that a single butterfly flapping its wings in South America can set off a chain of events that results in torrential hurricanes ten thousand miles away? Well, on the Discworld, it literally exists. This is the species. It is believed this ability is both a survival trait and a mating display designed to attract a partner. More is explained in ''Literature/InterestingTimes''.

[[AC:{{Anime}}]]
* In the ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime, some Flying-type moves such as Gust and Whirlwind are shown to work this way when used by winged {{Mons}}. As most winged mons can learn the Fire-type move Heat Wave (a blast of hot air), it can be presumed that it operates similarly.

[[AC: ComicBooks]]
* Played with: While she does not actually possess wings, ComicBook/{{Storm}} has, among [[SuperpowerLottery others,]] the ability to [[BlowYouAway hurl gusts of wind in any direction]], and usually wears a unique cape attached to her arms. When she uses this power wearing one of these attached 'wing-capes,' it creates the same visual effect.
** Her teammate [[ComicBook/XMen Angel]] has sometimes been known to do this, when he has [[GoodwingsEvilWings feathered wings.]]

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Several GiantFlyer {{Kaiju}} from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise could do this. Examples include Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
* {{Film/Maleficent}} can do this, before she loses her wings.
* In ''Film/TRexBackToTheCretaceous'', a ''Pteranodon'' does this...somehow.

[[AC:{{Live Action Tv}}]]
* Physics are followed (for the most part) in ''{{Warehouse 13}}'', where Daedelus's wax wings generate their own lift for flight.

[[AC:{{Tabletop Games}}]]

[[AC:{{Video Games}}]]

* One of the [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo two versions]] of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork 6'' had the final boss Falzar, who would use this technique in conjunction with [[RainOfArrows Rain Of Feathers]] for a difficult-to-avoid attack.

* Dragons in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' use attacks like this, usually called something like "Wind Buffet". Sindragosa The Frost Queen goes one better with "Magical Buffet".

[[AC:{{Western Animation}}]]

* Smaug the dragon in the animated version of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' declares "My wings... are... hurricanes!" and creates gale-force winds with them to frighten and humble Bilbo Baggins.
* Utter Flutter, the special magic of the Flutter Ponies from the original ''MyLittlePony'' cartoon. It is the only thing that can push back and destroy [[BlobMonster Smooze]]. It also reduced the shadow-stealing sorcerer Erebus to almost nothing.

* This is one of Ridley's moves in ''SuperSmashBros Brawl''.

* Played with: While she does not actually possess wings, {{Storm}} has, among [[SuperpowerLottery others,]] the ability to [[BlowYouAway hurl gusts of wind in any direction]], and usually wears a unique cape attached to her arms. When she uses this power wearing one of these attached 'wing-capes,' it creates the same visual effect.

* [[spoiler: Feral chaos']] Ventus Ire in ''{{Dissidia Final Fantasy}}''.
* Avion, the bird Colossus from ''{{Shadow of the Colossus}}'', can do this to Wander.

** Her teammate [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Angel]] has sometimes been known to do this, when he has [[GoodwingsEvilWings feathered wings.]]
* A standard tactic of {{Hawkman}}.

* ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'': This was one of the special tricks of MonsterOfTheWeek King Sphinx. Mutitus form II and the Peckster can also do it but to a lesser extent.

* A standard ability of various dragons in ''DungeonsAndDragons'', as well as the various [=CRPGs=] derived from the ruleset.

* Several GiantFlyer {{Kaiju}} from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise could do this. Examples include Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.

* Some of the large flying enemies in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'' do this. It causes very little damage and mostly serves to push you off cliffs if you aren't careful with your positioning.

* The Darkwing Bat attacks like this in ''{{Castlevania}}: SymphonyOfTheNight''.
* Gargoyle hero Galio in ''LeagueOfLegends'' creates a ''tornado'' with his wings.

* In ''KamenRiderRyuki'', Kamen Rider Femme's FinishingMove involves her swan BondCreature Blancwing blowing her enemies off their feet like this, Femme following up by attacking them with her double-ended polearm while they're helpless. Knight Survive's Darkraider has a similar special attack, but rather than flapping it generates winds from the wheels[=/=]turbines on its wings. This obviously also applies to Siren and Wing Knight, their American counterparts from ''KamenRiderDragonKnight''.

* The (unnamed) Roc in the {{Popeye}} cartoon, ''PopeyeTheSailorMeetsSindbadTheSailor'' could do this.

* Utter Flutter, the special magic of the Flutter Ponies from the original ''MyLittlePony'' cartoon. It is the only thing that can push back and destroy [[TheBlob Smooze]]. It also reduced the shadow-stealing sorcerer Erebus to almost nothing.

* Several GiantFlyer {{Kaiju}} from the {{Godzilla}} franchise could do this. Examples include Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.

** Her teammate [[{{X-Men}} Angel]] has sometimes been known to do this, when he has [[GoodwingsEvilWings feathered wings.]]

* Smaug the dragon in the animated version of ''TheHobbit'' declares "My wings... are... hurricanes!" and creates gale-force winds with them to frighten and humble Bilbo Baggins.

* While few of the winged monsters in the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series use the trope intentionally, almost all of them periodically produce gales as they fly around, which can disrupt your attacks and leave you open to abuse. An equipment skill exists to make you immune to this, and can be extremely helpful.
