* In the various Atari ''[[Godzilla]]'' games, the creators made a point to ensure that the only flying monsters were those who rarely touched the ground, like Rodan, Mothra and Megaguirus. While this isn't a big deal for burrowing Megalon (whose wings only appear when he opens his shell) or teleporting Gigan (whose ability to fly in the films was due to jet boosters not seen on his design) Destoroyah sports not one but two pairs of enormous, bat-like wings that do absolutely nothing. This is especially frustrating, since the movie Destoroyah spent half its onscreen appearance in the air. |

* In ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]'', your winged [[White Mage]] Sarah has huge wings but is described both by the game and in her own words as being incapable of flight, though she can glide. In any case {{spoiler|her ending has her get over this and properly fly.}} |

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' has a fairly unusual example with cave [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragons]]: they have wings incapable of flight, which their description implies worked before they became adapted to the underground. But the thing is, regular dragons ''don't have wings at all'', [[Fridge Logic|which implies]] they're either descendant of a type of dragon not in the game or that they grew wings which served no purpose after coming underground. |

** [[Word of God|Toady has said]] that dragons will have wings to fly at some future point. He's waiting until he can program them to use it to devastating effect. |
