The Floating "Family" is a loosely connected assortment of monsters that share a vulnerability to Flying Knee and Wing-Clipper. Unlike actual families, there is no single unifying theme to the group aside from the aforementioned weakness, 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.
