Tengu are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. They are one of the best known monster-spirits and are sometimes worshipped as Shinto gods. Tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, so they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics.
