* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Boktai}} Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django]]'', while in Vampire mode, Django's scarf turns into (or at least takes the shape of) a pair of wings. It's unclear if he uses them to fly or if he just uses generic "vampire levitation" powers during his attack when he flies across the screen.
* In ''VideoGame/BugFables'', Leif the moth folds his wings around his body, making it appear like an AllEncompassingMantle. When asked about it, he answers that he [[SharedFamilyQuirks took this habit from his father]]. An old moth living in the Ant Village, [[spoiler:who is Leif's descendant]], also has this trait.

** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', Alucard's cape momentarily turns into a pair of bat wings when he double-jumps, and his wings in bat form [[MorphicResonance are the same color as his cape]].

* In the ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' DLC ''The Ringed City'', [[spoiler: [[FromNobodyToNightmare Slave Knight Gael]]]] is revealed to be the final boss of the game [[spoiler: after he consumes [[TitleDrop The Dark Soul of Man]]]], and once he transitions to his second phase, his red cape -- which is now on fire -- becomes animated and tattered in just the right way to resemble a pair of wings. He can both swing these at you to attack you, or pull off some impressive aerial acrobatics with them.
* Morrigan's wings in ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' can transform into a swarm of bats, become blades, spikes, or [[CombatTentacles tentacles]], or clothes in her win poses.
* Dante in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' does this with his [[BadassLongcoat coat]] while in [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'': Valvatorez, while he's never shown to fly, definitely has this aesthetic going for him.
* The trope image is provided by Narmer from ''VideoGame/{{Dislyte}}'', who is imbued with the divine powers of the Egyptian sun god Ra, and his cape wings are an obvious nod to how Ra is frequently depicted as a bird.

* Some depictions of ''Theatre/GoldenBat'' give him the power to transform his cape into bat wings, though he is more often shown flying [[SuperheroesWearCapes superhero-style]]. The 2000 ''New Golden Bat'' anime pitch trailer even shows him using these wings as a WaveMotionTuningFork in order to obliterate a giant monster. {{Implied}} in the 2022 manga, where Bat's spirit form wears an OminousOperaCape similar to his 1966 portrayal but can lend his host the power to sprout bat wings.

** [=LadyDevimon=] has a pair of tattered wings resembling a cape, though it's hard to tell if they're part of her outfit or part of her body (the fact that she can evolve from regular Devimon, who's just a plain vanilla WingedHumanoid, suggests the latter).
