It resembles a pterosaur, using a tarp or a flag for its wings, and has a mouth that consists of knives, razors, and other similar sharp objects. It also has a harpoon launcher on its tail to snag its victims and a fan that helps it fly. The Winged Beast was created by the B.R.A.I.N. shortly after it revives from its slumber to find the Stitchpunks so it can absorb their souls. The Winged Beast finds the Stichpunks hiding in the sanctuary and destroys it. After a chase with the fleeing Stichpunks, the Winged Beast is tricked into getting its harpoon cut off and the cable to get stuck into a plane propeller, which 5 and 6 activate. The Winged Beast grabs on to 1's cape in support. 1 refused to let his cape go, but managed to do so, causing the Winged Beast to be shredded by the propeller.

One fine example of a card making use of Winged Beast monsters is "Icarus Attack", being extremely popular in the aforementioned "Blackwing" Decks. Few Winged Beasts are considered to be powerful cards although some of the best are "Stealth Bird", "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys", "Simorgh, Bird of Divinity", "Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu", "Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca", "Dark Simorgh", "D.D. Crow", "Blackwing Armor Master", "Raiza the Storm Monarch", "The Atmosphere", "Windrose the Elemental Lord", "Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry", and "Raidraptor - Rise Falcon". Interestingly enough, very few of the strongest Winged Beasts are of the WIND Attribute. While most Winged Beasts are WIND Attribute monsters, there are some exceptions, such as the DARK Attribute "Blackwing" and "Raidraptor" archetypes, "Firebird", "Fushi No Tori", "Dark Simorgh", "D.D. Crow", "Battlestorm", "Fire King Avatar Garunix", "Fire King High Avatar Garunix" and others like them. Until Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy, there were no WATER Winged Beasts. To date, only 7 exist: 6 of them were used by the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL character Rio Kastle (who also introduced the first Winged Beast-Type Xyz Monster: "Ice Beast Zerofyne"), and are characterized by an Ice motif; while the other one ("Sirenorca") was released in Legacy of the Valiant to aid her Deck work in the OCG/TCG. Winged Beasts are most notably used by Mai Valentine, Atticus Rhodes in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga, all incarnations of Crow Hogan, Rio Kastle, and the Obsidian siblings Shay & Lulu. Winged Beasts feature in Structure Deck: Lord of the Storm and a number of them are present in Dragunity Legion Structure Deck. In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, Winged Beasts are treated as Beast Monsters.
