Meet the tengu. Long nose, red face, the robes of a mountain ascetic, and a fan that raises a great wind. He guards the deep mountains, flies, disappears under a straw cloak, and taught the ninja everything they know.

What a tengu looks like, the mountains he lives in, the powers he is said to have, and the scroll he hands a student who finishes training.
