Tengu 👺 long-nosed imps, products of Japanese folklore, are generally believed to inhabit the mountains, from which they descend upon the human world from time to time to cause mischief of one kind or another. It was believed Buddhist monks, forgetting the true teachings of their faith, would become egotistical braggarts, causing them to turn into Tengu.-Umezu Jiro 1978
