Tengu

This creature is said to live in deep mountains, with a high nose and mystical powers. It has wings and can fly freely through the sky. As a mountain yokai, it is believed to have been born from people’s awe and fear of the mountains. People viewed the mountains as a realm of the supernatural, and any strange occurrences there were often attributed to the Tengu.
