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

He did not know I saw -

And ate the fellow, raw"

Useful Info

Tengu are unremarkable flying monsters, occasionally found alone or in packs while exploring the Swamp, the Shoals, or the Abyss. Like most monstrous version of playable species, they are only as dangerous as the gear they wield.

Tips & Tricks

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