The Floating "family" is a loosely connected assortment of monsters 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.
