The '''Floating "family"''' is a loosely connected assortment of {{MFamilies}}s that in older titles shared a vulnerability to Wind-elemental attacks such as the [[Woosh]] spells, as well as the [[Flying Knee]] and [[Wing-Clipper]] skills. Recent games also grant the group an immune to any one-turn stun moves that attempt to knock the target down and a resistance to Earth-element attacks such as the [[Crag]] spells. Unlike actual families, there is no single unifying theme to the group aside from the aforementioned weakness and resistance, and even that is tenuous. "Floating" is something of a misnomer, as several monsters are shown with their feet planted firmly on the ground and yet are classified as such, where as some monsters that hover in place (such as the [[wraithwand]]) are exempt. ==Appearances== ==={{DQ3HD}}=== All airborne monsters will take 130% damage when hit with the [[Flying Knee]] skill. *[[Batterfly]] *[[Betterfly]] *[[Boreal serpent]] *[[Catula]] *[[Chimaera]] *[[Crone]] *[[Crone ranger]] *[[Cumaulus]] *[[Cureslime]] *[[Drac the Vlad]] *[[Dread admiral]] *[[Elysium bird]] *[[Ethereal serpent]] *[[Freezing fog]] *[[Garuda]] *[[Golden gloom]] *[[Hades condor]] *[[Healslime]] *[[Hell niño]] *[[Hocus chimaera]] *[[Infernal serpent]] *[[Kylla]] *[[Madvlad]] *[[Merman]] *[[Mermaniac]] *[[Merking]] *[[Metal chimaera]] *[[Phantasm]] *[[Phoenix]] *[[Raven lunatic]] *[[Rumble bee]] *[[Scornet]] *[[Shadow]] *[[Shade]] *[[Silhouette]] *[[Stark raven]] *[[Umbra]] *[[Vladdy]] *[[Vladiator]] *[[Vampire cat]] *[[Waspion]] *[[Xenlon]] ==={{DQ6}}=== *[[Babygoyle]] *[[Barksman]] *[[Cloud surfer]] *[[Cumaulus]] *[[Cutterfly]] (also {{Dragon}}) *[[Czargoyle]] *[[Damselfly (DQVI)|Damselfly]] (also {{Dragon}}) *[[Darkgoyle]] *[[Deadly dodo]] *[[Devilmoth]] *[[Dreamaera]] *[[Freezing fog]] *[[Hell hornet]] *[[Hell niño]] *[[High djinks]] *[[Hocus dreamaera]] *[[Killer moth]] *[[Low djinks]] *[[Mad mallard]] *[[Sniping barksman]] *[[Splutterfly]] *[[Stormsgate Citadel (boss)|Stormsgate Citadel]] *[[Über dreamaera]] *[[Venom wasp]] *[[Wild carrot]] ==={{DQ7}}=== *[[Bird of terrordise]] *[[Chimaera]] *[[Cumulus rex]] *[[Cumulus vex]] *[[Direlog]] *[[Discombombulator]] *[[Div]] *[[Djinn genie]] *[[Dragon slime]] (also {{Dragon}}) *[[Drake slime]] (also {{Dragon}}) *[[Fire fry]] *[[Floating bloater]] *[[Gigalumph]] *[[Gold fryling]] *[[Healium balloon]] *[[High djinks]] *[[Hocus chimaera]] *[[Kingfuchsia]] *[[Metal dragon slime]] (also {{Dragon}}) *[[Mouseflap]] *[[Mousenap]] *[[Peahooter]] *[[Prism peacock]] *[[Sharphooter]] *[[Sky fry]] *[[Stingfisher]] *[[Zepling]] ==={{DQ9}}=== Having the flying status means that an enemy is immune to [[Trip of a Deathtime]]. *[[Abyss diver]] *[[Alphyn]] *[[Barbarus]] *[[Batterfly]] *[[Betterfly]] *[[Blinkster]] *[[Cheeky tiki]] *[[Chimaera]] *[[Claw hammer]] *[[Clockwork cuckoo]] *[[Corvus]] *[[Cosmic chimaera]] *[[Cumaulus]] *[[Cumulus hex]] *[[Cumulus rex]] *[[Cumulus vex]] *[[Cureslime]] *[[Cyber spider]] *[[Cyclown]] *[[Drackmage]] *[[Dracky]] *[[Drackyma]] *[[Dread admiral]] *[[Equinox]] *[[Firespirit]] *[[Freaky tiki]] *[[Freezing fog]] *[[Genie sanguini]] *[[Godsteed]] *[[Greygnarl]] *[[Hammer horror]] *[[Healslime]] *[[Hell niño]] *[[Hocus chimaera]] *[[Mad moai]] *[[Man o' war]] *[[Mean spirit]] *[[Mecha-mynah]] *[[Medislime]] *[[Mega moai]] *[[Moai minstrel]] *[[Nemean]] *[[Jinkster]] *[[Lleviathan]] *[[Lost soul]] *[[Lunatick]] *[[Pale whale]] *[[Pink sanguini]] *[[Power hammer]] *[[Ragin' Contagion]] *[[Raving lunatick]] *[[Robo-robin]] *[[Scarlet fever]] *[[Seasaur]] *[[Seavern]] *[[Sootheslime]] *[[Spinchilla]] *[[Spirit]] *[[Stale whale]] *[[Tantamount]] *[[Teaky mask]] *[[Teeny sanguini]] *[[Tyrantula]] *[[Uncommon cold]] *[[Vermil lion]] *[[Whirly girly]] *[[Winkster]] *[[Widow's pique]] ==={{DQ10}}=== Floating monsters are fully immune to the [[Rubblerouser]] spell line, and take 20% more damage from the [[Harvest Moon]] skill. ==={{DQ11}}=== [[Erik]]'s series of soil spells are resisted by all floating enemies, with the degree of resistance varying between species, and Harvest Moon's damage multiplier has been raised to 250%.
