Appearing as fair faced Human men and women, Tengu are known for yellow eyes and black hair with toned, graceful bodies. Tengu could easily pass for Human, save for a small pair of blackened wings that adorn their backs. Sometimes seen as decorations, these small wings are the reason Tengu are able to perform the feats of strength and agility they are known for. From gliding to gymnast levels of agility, the seemingly ornamental appendages are capable of allowing for small periods of glide time. Beyond this, Tengu are known for wearing masks, the most famous being that of a red faced goblin of a long nose.
