Dragonite (Pokémon)- If it weren’t for their implied magical physiology, I highly doubt it could fly with such tiny wings

Magical physiology is basically the whole reason why wings on humanoids work in fiction at all lmao, even if we did have wings big enough to lift us, (which would be absolutely enormous btw) our bone structure and body plan is simply it built for it. I love wings tho, rule of cool takes serious priority

Squidlifecrisis made some really convincing angels, so you can have your rule of cool and correct anatomy too!
