“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.
