Flying is an effect given to all airborne creatures and objects.
Creatures that are flying cannot be targeted by melee attacks from non-flying creatures. However, when flying, creatures gain a Swoop ability that allows them to attack non-flying creatures.
Flying is only possible on surface zones. Creatures cannot fly underground. Some subterranean creatures, such as 
bats, have the 
Wings mutation or a description that indicates that they have wings and can fly, however, those creatures do not actually have the flying effect from a mechanical perspective, because flying is not allowed underground. As a result, they can be targeted normally by melee attacks.
Swooping
Whenever a creature is flying, that creature also gains access to a Swoop ability.[1] Swoop will attempt to attack an adjacent non-flying creature, with the attack functioning identically to a melee attack. When using Swoop, a flying creature will have a small chance of falling clumsily to the ground. The chance of falling to the ground is doubled if the swoop-attacker is shield blocked[2].
