Winged Beast monsters represent creatures of flight, such as birds or bats. One of the most renowned and fan favorite Archetypes, the Harpies, are Winged Beasts. Another Archetype in the game is the "Blackwings"; a series of DARK Winged Beast-Type monsters that will be released in the booster pack, Crimson Crisis. Winged Beasts commonly have effects related to removing cards from the field, especially cards in the Spell & Trap Card Zone, though some are designed instead to take advantage of an opponent without any cards in their Spell & Trap Card Zone once it has been cleared by the others.

Few Winged Beasts are truly considered powerful cards, though some of the best are "Stealth Bird", "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys", "Simorgh, Bird of Divinity", "Earthbound Immortal - Aslla piscu", "Dark Simorgh", "D.D. Crow", "Blackwing Armor Master", "Raiza the Storm Monarch" and "Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry".

While it mainly focuses on the WIND Attribute (With the exception of Blackwing cards, "Firebird", "Dark Simorgh" and "Battlestorm"), Winged Beasts feature in Structure Deck 8: Lord of the Storm.
