I intend to base pearlcatchers very heavily on qilin/kirin, so I'm considering getting rid of the wings entirely. They feel a little slapped on otherwise. I think I can have way more fun with their design if I omit the wings.

To make up for that, pearlcatchers are quite the scholars, especially when it comes to magic and spells. So magic that allows them to fly isn't that unusual. A spell that briefly "hardens" the air beneath the foot is a very popular one, allowing them to essentially run through the sky.
