天狗 (tengu, literally "sky dog") are a type of Youkai found in Japanese Mythology that are most commonly associated with crows, known for their great agility, magical power and arrogance.note To the point where in Japanese a conceited person can be described as "turning into a tengu", based on a common fate for such people in legend. Old stories portray tengu as The Trickster and/or Evil Mentors who lure Buddhists into depravity, but gradually they were reinterpreted into simply dangerous, territorial beings which are capable of nobility in their own right. As with most legendary creatures from ancient myth, there is a certain amount of variation in how they are depicted. The earliest depictions, often called Karasu Tengu (Crow Tengu), are depicted as anthropomorphic crows with a fully bird-like head and beak. Later depictions, known as Hanataka Tengu (Long-nosed Tengu), instead resemble humans with red skin and comically-long noses, who may or may not have crow wings. Sometimes both types exist at once in a caste system, with the long-nosed and occasionally giant Dai Tengu (Great Tengu) ruling over the avian Ko Tengu (Lesser Tengu). More obscure, regional tengu variants include the Guhin (Dog Guest) which have aspects of either trees or canines, the Kawa Tengu (River Tengu) which live underwater and can create Faux Flame, and the Shiba Tengu (Lawn Tengu) which are essentially Kappa by another name. In modern fiction (particularly when they're main characters) they might simply be Winged Humanoids who otherwise look like ordinary people; likewise their large nose or beak is sometimes depicted as part of a mask rather than an integral part of their own anatomy. Tengu are often depicted as mountain-dwelling and are associated with martial arts, sometimes being cited as the origins of Secret Arts such as Ninja techniques. They are particularly identified with yamabushi, the mountain-dwelling monks of the Shugendo religion, and are often depicted wearing the yamabushi's traditional costume (depending on the story this may be a disguise, a show of religious devotion, or the original clothing that yamabushi garb was based on). Other common features include long white hair, "tengu geta"note Wooden sandals (geta) with one unusually tall slat rather than two, requiring superhuman balance to walk in. and large fans made of feathers or yatsude leaves. The name tengu is derived from the Chinese tiangou (which share the same Chinese characters), although the tiangou is simply a magical dog with no human features. Examples |

Genshin Impact: Kujou Sara, the primary enforcer for the Raiden Shogun, is this. Like common depictions of tengus, Sara is depicted with bird wings (which resemble a crow's), a red mask with a long nose, a pair of tengu geta (wooden clogs with only one tall "tooth") and a feather fan that serves as a conduit for her powers. Amusingly enough, however, her Wings Do Nothing, and she must use Wind Gliders as with any other character in order to glide. Taking a page from common depictions of the tengu, Sara isn't necessarily arrogant; she a Noble Demon who is willing to act with consideration and listen, and is at worst undyingly obedient to the Shogun's orders, causing her to be a villain by association. | |

In Samurai Shodown, one of the newcomers introduced in the 2019 game, Yashamaru Kurama, is styled after the crow-billed kind, particularly with his mask which evokes the same thing. He also possesses special powers from having tengu ancestors in his bloodline, which is evident when he does his Rage Explosion, turning his hair black and enhancing his abilities. Also, many of his moves and attacks are accompanied by several crow feathers, befitting his heritage. | |

Usagi Yojimbo: Miyamoto Usagi met a long-nosed tengu when he was just a student. We later learn that his name is Sojobo. In Tengu Wars Sakai deeply dwells into Tengu folklore, depicting Sojobo's ex-wife Nozomi as a purple-skinned Cute Monster Girl with a blue tengu mask, the diminutive, crow-like Karasutengu and the rarely seen Guhin Tengu, low-tier Tengu who infest the lower parts of the mountains and are here represented as monstrous humanoid dogs. | |

Both Haruka and Sugino in Tactics are tengu — Haruka is known as the Oni-eating Tengu before he is named and bound by the protagonist. Sugino fights with the traditional feather fan that magically raises huge gusts of wind, while Haruka carries a monk's shakujou with a spiked base. It's also stated that while Haruka was born tengu, Sugino became a tengu through arrogance and hubris — a genuine folklore reference. | |

Guild Wars The Tengu are native both to the European-style Tyria (where they are universally hostile) and to the Eastern-themed Cantha (where one clan is friendly). A branch family modeled after the quetzal bird can be found in the Tarnished Coast. In Guild Wars 2, the tengu clans have reunited and formed a neutral nation of their own, the Dominion of Winds. Due to years of being treated as monsters and their recent forced exile from Cantha, the nation is understandably reluctant to make allies. |

Both families of Tengu Yokai from the Yo-kai Watch anime show up in the same episode—Tengloom, the apathy Yokai, shows up in a long short where Nate has to stop him from inspiriting his friends and making them gloomy, while the actual Tengu shows up in a short afterwards mostly to show up Whisper after Whisper pretends to be Tengu's friend. In the English dubbed version, although the dub implicitly takes place in America, Nate notes that tengu are such famous mythological figures that even he's heard of them. | |

Tengu show up as teleporting monsters in Nethack. They offer a chance of granting teleport control if you eat their corpse, but this can also have the unintended effect of giving teleportitis instead, an intrinsic attribute which causes random teleportation at irregular intervals. This becomes a positive if teleportitis and teleport control are combined, essentially granting a free teleport every now and then at no power cost, making tengu farming via cursed scrolls of genocide a very attractive option. | |

Shin Megami Tensei has several types of Tengu running around: from tiny annoyances (Koppa Tengu), to evil corruptive spirits (Karasu Tengu) to competent, powerful warriors (Kurama Tengu), each modeled after a different branch of Tengu. In Persona 5, Goro Akechi's outfit as a Phantom Thief includes a red mask with a long nosepiece similar to a tengu, earning him the codename of "Crow". That is, until The Reveal that he's a bad guy and a subsequent Evil Costume Makeover. |

The Fragments of Horror story Black Bird featured a Tengu as the villain. True to the myths, she was depicted as a mountain-dwelling entity that was half-human and half-crow, and able to shift between the two forms at will. She's also able to travel through time, and uses this ability to feed the protagonist pieces of himself. | |

Ponosuke Ninokuru from Ayakashi Triangle is referred to in a volume extra as a hato tengu—like a karasu tengu, except a pigeon instead of a crow. He's still a humanoid bird that dresses and uses a staff like a yamabushi, but Ponosuke is humble, excessively-formal, and only a bit bigger than a regular pigeon. He also has wings on his back like a dai tengu. Ever since the exorcist ninja Soga rescued Ponosuke from a cat, he's served as his familiar and his family's retainer. | |

Pathfinder Tengu are a playable race, albeit wingless — their arms end in clawed hands. They are proficient with all sword-like weapons, skilled at picking up new languages, and can eventually learn to transform into crows or long-nosed humans. Their patron deity, the Lord of the Ocean Hei Feng, usually takes the form of a raven-like tengu with glowing eyes. Bestiary 6 has the daitengu, a powerful, mystical variant of the common tengu that resembles the traditional long-nosed, red-skinned humanoid of Japanese myth. Yamabushi tengu are a type of Oni, evil spirits who mimic humanoid races to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, and are based on the more negative characteristics attributed to tengu. They cans shift between two forms at will — one resembling a regular tengu with wings sprouting from its shoulders and one resembling a winged human with red skin and prodigiously long nose. |

The leader of the Eastern youkai in Ushio and Tora is a tengu, though his usual appearance is an old man. Later during the great Bakemono War arc we see a eastern Karasutengu (though he looks like a hawk) and a western counterpart, both serving as the right hand man to their leaders. According to Word of God, Shinno, the leader of the Western Youkai, is a Daitengu as well, though he doesn't look the part, (he resembles a normal human with elongated lobes and spiky hair). | |

Dungeons & Dragons. The 1st Edition Oriental Adventures had crow-headed tengu as monsters. They were 2-3 foot tall humanoids with a crow's head and beak and feathered wings between their shoulder blades. They were maliciously evil, trying to harm all humans in their area. They fought using katana and wakizashi and could cast the Polymorph Self and Shout spells 3 times per day each. In 3rd Edition tengu are neutral and come in both crow and long-nose varieties - besides a handful of magical abilities they can mimic any sound, use their wings to confuse enemies, and have great skill with katana. Oddly, human-headed tengu are only half the size of humans while crow-headed tengu are the same size. D&D also features "kenku", a race of sneaky bird-men who lurk in the slums of large cities and are skilled at fighting in teams. Various editions of the game have gone back-and-forth between basing them on tengu (winged, with crow heads) or differentiating them (wingless, with hawk heads), and they may or may not share the D&D tengu's Sound Mimicry ability. |

There is also a Mini-Boss fight against three tengu warriors, one of which throws a yatsude leaf as a weapon. Goemon's Great Adveture: A side mission later in the game has you hunting down five tengus at the request of a young woman who says the avian yokais has been attacking those who cross the Wonder Valley. Tengus also appear in the secret Creep Village accessed in the post game. One of them is happy that you taught a lesson to his mischievous brethren. |

Usopp from One Piece is referred to as a tengu by the samurai Kin'emon due to the former's long nose and assortment of tricks that the latter mistakes for jutsu. While this assessment is incorrect, Usopp does indeed draw some inspirations from tengus due to said reasons. The swordsmith Tenguyama Hitetsu in Wano not only has the word Tengu in his family name, but his appearance also greatly resembles one as well. He wears a dark red tengu mask with an extremely long nose over his face, has white hair, a pair of large white wings on his back, and he wears extremely tall wooden geta on his feet. |

Touhou Project: Aya Shameimaru from Phantasmagoria of Flower View who teams up with Hatate Himekaidou in the Shoot the Bullet spin-offs are both Crow Tengu reporters. Aya even dresses up as a newspaper boy in order to move about in the Human Village in the Forbidden Scrollery manga. Momiji Inubashiri from Mountain of Faith is also listed as a Tengu, but she is of the White Wolf variety instead of a crow. It could be that she is a Tiangou, a dog-like creature from Chinese mythology that's related to the Japanese tengu. Megumu Iizunamaru, introduced in Unconnected Marketeers, is a Daitengu and the leader of the Crow Tengu. Her ability to manipulate the stars is likely an allusion to old stories about how astral abnormalities were regarded as omens of catastrophic Tengu activities and her alliance with the kudagitsune Tsukasa Kudamaki is a reference to Megumu's namesake: Iizuna Gongen, a mountainous wargod often depicted as a Crow Tengu riding a white fox. Tengu are noted as having the most advanced society of all youkai in Gensokyo, due to there being an unusual number of myths about its organisation. Specifically they have a government of Great Tengu, a bureacracy of Long-nosed Tengu, printing presses run by Yamabushi Tengu, a "nimble information corps" of Crow Tengu (the variety most often seen by outsiders) and a border patrol of White Wolf Tengu, all lead by Lord Tenma. |

Metroid Dread introduces a villainous Chozo named Raven Beak, leader of the still-warlike Mawkin tribe, who takes the resemblance even further. In addition to having dark feathers and a face resembling a raven, he demonstrates the ability to sprout black-feathered wings (though it's unclear whether or not they're part of his body). He even has a nod to the stories of tengu disguising themselves as humans in that he spends most of the game impersonating Samus's Mission Control. | |

Ninja Hayate: Act 12 features a traditional karasu tengu. Less traditional is his ability to breathe fire, which is his main form of attack. He can also fly and wields a katana. | |

Super Sentai / Power Rangers : Dai Sentai Goggle Five's Tengu Mozoo is one of two Monsters of the Week based on mythical creatures in the series (the other being a Kappa). In the Movie and third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Tengu warriors (spelled Tenga in season 3) acted as mooks for the bad guys. Their designs favor the crow aspect of the myth, as opposed to the human. There is also a Monster of the Week in the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers named Professor Long Nose, whose design adheres more to the classic tengu image. This is because he was directly a Tengu in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. Tensou Sentai Goseiger had Hit of the Tengu, whose motif was hybridized with a scorpion and Pennywise the Clown. He was adapted into Nojoke in Power Rangers Megaforce. A Tengu whose appearance was hybridized with a clarinet was a Monster of the Week in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. He was adapted as Badpipes in Power Rangers Ninja Steel. |

Izuna-gongen, a tutelary deity of Mt. Izuna frequently worshipped as a god of victory, is most often depicted as a tengu named Saburou riding a white fox. He is known for distributing "edible sand" to humans in time of famine (apparently a type of fungus thought to be the local tengus' staple food), and for being learned in the technique of controlling "pipefoxes" (weasels, known locally as izuna) as familiars. This depiction is sometimes connected to the "Izuna-gongen strategy", an outlawed wartime tactic of spreading chaos in enemy camps by raising a fox to seek dark places then tying it to a bird whose wings have been set on fire. | |

In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the Empire has the Mecha Tengu/Jet Tengu, an anti-infantry skirmisher and air superiority fighter with a long nose.

Monster Hunter: Rise features several monsters based on yokai, including the tengu-inspired Bishaten and its Blood Orange subspecies. Being feathered, mountain-dwelling mammals, their inspiration is clear. Both are crafty tricksters; the nominal species flings fruits that can stun or poison its targets, while the subspecies uses exploding pine cones and fire breath. | |

Fengshen Yanyi: The character of Leizhenzi/Thunder-Quaker is transfigured into a monstrous winged being upon eating two magic apricots, growing blue skin, red hair, wings and an elongated snout/beak with sharp silver tusks. In many depictions, he looks remarkably like the typical karasu-tengu, portrayal reinforced by his ability to fly across long distances in short time, mountainous home and using a massive staff as a weapon. | |

Dungeon Crawl features tengu as both enemies and a playable race. As enemies, regular tengu and their conjurer and warrior counterparts are rather weak due to their low HP and weak spells, but tengu reavers are much beefier,physically hit harder,pack a punch with their elemental spells, and can summon a battlesphere that deals irresistible damage. Their king, Sojobo, packs similarly hard-hitting spells and is usually found with a court of fellow reavers. Similarly, as a race, tengu excel at all sorts of schools of fighting and are good at air magic and general conjuring. However, they have low HP and have to rely on dodging and simple running away to avoid damage. |

Unsurprisingly, Tengu are just one of the many yokai enemies encountered in Nioh. Armed with a staff that gives them wide sweeping attacks, limited flight that lets them close the distance fast, the ability to strike from afar with Razor Wind, and grapple maneuvers that can't be blocked, and you have a very dangerous foe that can qualify as a boss in and of itself. | |

Metroid: In the series backstory, the Chozo started off as Ancient Egyptian Tengu IN SPACE!, but had an epiphany in their twilight years that led them to reinvent themselves as peaceful scientists. Even in the present day, however, they are more than capable of training Samus into one of the galaxy's greatest warriors. Metroid Dread introduces a villainous Chozo named Raven Beak, leader of the still-warlike Mawkin tribe, who takes the resemblance even further. In addition to having dark feathers and a face resembling a raven, he demonstrates the ability to sprout black-feathered wings (though it's unclear whether or not they're part of his body). He even has a nod to the stories of tengu disguising themselves as humans in that he spends most of the game impersonating Samus's Mission Control. |
