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, occasionally found alone or in packs while exploring the Swamp, the Shoals, the Abyss, or the Dungeon. These packs may include a single tengu conjurer. 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.
