'''Tengu''' are [[bakemono]] that are said to live in the mountains all over Japan, in trees called cryptomeria (杉 , ''sugi'').  The term is often translated as “mountain goblins” or “long-nosed goblins”; the latter being a reference to the long protruding noses that tengu are famous for in certain forms (''daitengu'' or ''yamabushi-tengu'').  They are also often depicted with wings and the feet and beak of birds, usually those of crows (''karasu-tengu'').

The name "tengu" comes from the Chinese ''tien-kou'', meaning “heavenly dog”, a name originally given to a comet whose tail trailed along the sky like that of a dog.  After being imported to Japan, the tengu evolved into a birdlike monster, originally associated with the kite but ultimately with the crow.  They often dress in the garb of [[yamabushi]], and are alternately said to be guardians of the Buddhist teachers or devils sent to lead believers away from the truth.  Similarly, they occupy a spiritual position somewhere between [[bakemono]] and the [[kami]] of the mountain (山の神, ''yama no kami'').  Tengu carry feathered fans called ''ha-uchiwa'', and possess great powers of illusion.

Tengu are said to be masters of martial arts, and they reportedly love to incite wars and violence.  This theme is seen throughout tengu folklore.
