The Winged Healer is what the natives of the Pri-uan Plateau call this rare and extremely gentle floating giant. It is so difficult to find (despite it's mass) that many believe the stories to be just legends and myths. It is a gas filled cloud grazer. Moving high into the atmosphere it slowly drifts through the sky using massive modified scales as intricate sails. The beast is neutrally buoyant in the atmosphere and requires very little effort to stay afloat, and it can stay aloft in the clouds for weeks at a time on a single full breath. The Native people call it a healer because the animal emits a low barely audible thrum. It purrs in such a frequency that though we can't hear it we can definitely feel it. The sensation is often described as glowing. The vibrations flowing through the human body have an effect of improving overall health, vigor, and vim.

There are some stories of people becoming addicted to the feeling that the animal gives them, and these addicts called "Vapors" follow the beast forgetting to eat, forgetting to drink, and eventually dying in pure bliss. If they lose the giant the Vapors will spend their entire lives mourning in misery, and on the hunt for another glimpse of the graceful animal.
