Tengu

Tengu are legendary creatures said to reside in the mountains and forests, known for their red faces, long noses, and bird-like features. They are often regarded as skilled warriors and cunning tricksters, mediators between humans and the divine. Revered as protectors of the mountains, they possess supernatural abilities, including flight. They embody both positive and negative traits, sometimes teaching humans martial arts or leading them astray.
