Konoha Tengu

Tengu range from goblin-like creatures to nigh invincible demi-gods. They’re mostly avian in appearance, but more powerful ones tend to have humanoid features. Konoha Tengu are known for playing cruel pranks on people, so as one may guess, it falls on the former category. Although dressed in ascetic monk’s attire these variety are less disciplined than the more powerful Dai Tengu.

How cruel are their pranks, one may ask. Well, it can be as annoying as stealing valuable heirlooms, like the sword pictured here, or something downright disturbing. Imagine children taking insects apart. You know, tearing wings off one at a time and see if it still flies...yeah...like that...

Luckily, they’re easily outsmarted. Although cunning in nature, they tend to overestimate their abilities, and that kind of arrogance can be used against them.

I wonder if I should make a print mini-series starring the several Tengu variants? I’m bad a t keeping promises, but I’ll try.
