A humanoid figure with the head and talons of a bird. Its ferociously combative nature belies its fragile appearance.

“A Bird came down the Walk —
He did not know I saw —
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw”
-Emily Dickinson, “A Bird came down the Walk”. ca. 1865.

Useful Info

Tengu are unremarkable flying monsters. Like most monstrous version of the playable species, they are only as dangerous as the gear they wield. They do not generate naturally, only appearing if a shapeshifter happens to take one's appearance or if you happen to polymorph a creature and get lucky.

Tips & Tricks

Tengu are weak enough to only pose a threat to low-level casters they catch in melee.

History

Prior to 0.14, generic tengu used to occasionally show up alongside more dangerous tengu opponents.
