Pigchickens can... sort of... And of course there's the wingéd boar, featured on the Beifong family crest.

The equivalent expression in Tongyu involves the world's least flightworthy animal, the badgermole (two burrowing animals in one, the size of a pickup truck, original inventors of earthbending).

In-story fictional character, played by Sumire in a movie in one episode of the Sakura Wars TV or OVA series, I can't remember which offhand.
