Flying Man


 * For the song named after them, see Flying Man (song).

Flying Men are a mythical species of birds with distinct human qualities. Flying Men are bipedal creatures that live in groups in different Magicants. They are very kind and are always ready to help. Ninten or Ness may decide to take a Flying Man with them while in Magicant, where they will help them in battle with enemies. They cannot be taken out of Magicant, however. If a Flying Man happens to fall in battle, a grave will be set up by their home and cannot be revived. In both EarthBound and, there are only five Flying Men available.

Status in EarthBound
As a temporary party member, Flying Men have stats that can't be seen in game.

Trivia

 * In, the enemy, Groucho, by saying hello and walking away, can allow a Flying Man to gain experience points. This, however, does nothing, as Flying Man is already at the max level of 99 in Mother. It is the only uncontrollable player character able to gain experience points.
