{{examples|Examples: }}
== [[Anime]] ==
* In the [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]] 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.
* A hawk from ''[[Kimba the White Lion (Manga)|Kimba the White Lion]]'' attacked Kimba by using this technique.
 
 
Line 29:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Some large bosses in the ''Zelda'' series have been known to do this, notably ''[[The Legend of Zelda: LinksLink's Awakening (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening]]'s'' Eagle boss, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: theThe Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'s'' Helmaroc King and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]''' [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|Argorok]].
* One of the [[One Game for Thethe Price of Two|two versions]] of ''[[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|Mega Man Battle Network]] 6'' had the final boss Falzar, who would use this technique in conjunction with [[Rain of Arrows|Rain Of Feathers]] for a difficult-to-avoid attack.
** Battle Network 5's Gyro Soul used something similar to the propeller version of this trope: Using a Wind-based chip in Gyro Soul would make the propeller on Mega Man's back spin twice as fast, which would power-up the next Wind chip used.
* In ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'', Storm Eagle had attacks that functioned this way.
* Dragons in [[World of Warcraft]] use attacks like this, usually called something like "Wind Buffet". Sindragosa The Frost Queen goes one better with "Magical Buffet".
* Kratos of ''[[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]]'' gets a fairly realistic version of this after he gets Daedelus's wings. It's just a single gust from wings he can only really use to glide, which does push him back/up through the air when he uses it.
* The Darkwing Bat attacks like this in ''[[Castlevania]]: [[Symphony of the Night]]''.
* Gargoyle hero Galio in [[League of Legends]] creates a ''tornado'' with his wings.
Line 41:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The (unnamed) Roc in the [[Popeye]] cartoon, ''[[Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad Thethe Sailor]]'' could do this.
* Appa, the 10-ton [[Giant Flyer|Sky Bison]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', has done this a couple of times with his beaver-like tail, which he uses ordinarily to "swim" through air.
* Smaug the dragon in the animated version of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' 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 ''[[My Little Pony]]'' cartoon. It is the only thing that can push back and destroy [[The Blob|Smooze]]. It also reduced the shadow-stealing sorcerer Erebus to almost nothing.
