Howdy, all!

I've got a question RE: creatures that fly naturally, AKA without magical enhancement.

Can a creature such as a Pixie fly under medium or heavy load? The manual is pretty clear that creatures under a light load can fly, but it is not clear that heavier loads are allowed. Since the rules don't explicitly state so, I need to check and find out.

Basically, does a natural flyer end up grounded under medium or heavy load? Or does the creature fly but at a slower speed? If anyone can point to the applicable rules, I'd really appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Brian

first of all, most colossal creatures can fly only with a light load. I forgot to mention that you also cannot fly naturally while wearing medium or heavy armor unless otherwise noted.

asperi (medium or large, cant remember) can fly with at least a medium load, possibly heavy
