The '''Floating "family"''' is a loosely connected assortment of {{MFamilies}}s that in older titles shared a vulnerability to [[Flying Knee]] and [[Wing-Clipper]], and in recent games are immune to any one-turn stun moves that attempt to knock the target down. Unlike actual families, there is no single unifying theme to the group aside from the aforementioned weakness and resistant, 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.

{{Stub}}
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%. Additionally, certain co-op techniques cannot reach flying monsters at all nor can any knock down abilities.
