Etymology[]
"Winged Yoma" derives from the US FUNimation dub. In the cold open of Anime Scene 2, Clare mentions a "winged Yoma."[3]
In the manga Clare mentions a 飛行タイプ (flying type).[4] Also 羽つきが二 (the two with wings).[5]
Appearance[]
These Yoma possess leathery, bat-like wings.
They may simply be a winged variant of ordinary Yoma. Rarest of Yoma.[6] Sometimes awakened beings take the form of Winged Yoma.[7]
Datasheet[]
Winged, they differ from ordinary Yoma by their flying ability, thus presenting a greater challenge to Claymore warriors.
Difficult to fight. Warriors have speared them by hurling swords from street-level[8] or rooftop[9] But if a skilled warrior can jump high enough, Winged Yoma can be attacked midair.[10]
History[]
Strah[]
In the town of Strah, Clare engages a Yoma pack. She uses the spear method of thrown sword, hurling the sword skyward to pierce the Winged Yoma.[11]
Thrown sword in action
Witch's Maw[]
A Clare in male drag meets five men in Zakol Mountains. She suddenly kills three of them.[12]
The remaining two men awaken into Yoma and attack. Clare dodges them, leaping sky-high. But two Winged Yoma attack Clare from above.[13]
Clare shreds both fying Yoma. She lands, then shreds the two Yoma. As they fall apart, they taunt her saying she is seeking her own death.[14]
Lacroix[]
In Lacroix, among the crowd of spectators, a woman awakens. Clare and Cynthia fight the female awakened, while Yuma knocks unconscious a search and rescue mission.[15]
Cynthia and Clare whittle down the Awakened's false body—the true body tries to escape as Winged Yoma-like entity.[16] Yuma uses a thrown sword and minces the wings. Cynthia and Clare then kill the awakened.[17]
