Card Trivia:Tengu, the Winged Mayakashi


 * This monster is based on the Tengu (天狗, "heavenly dogs"), 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. The earliest tengu were pictured with beaks, but this feature has often been humanized as an unnaturally long nose, which today is widely considered the tengu's defining characteristic in the popular imagination.


 * This monster is the Synchro counterpart of "Winged Mayakashi - Hajun".
