"Tengu" (or "heavenly dogs") are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon (Tiangou), the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics.
This monster carries a short sword (Wakizashi) and a long sword (Katana), similar to the samurai of Japanese tradition.
