Tengu (Japanese: lit. "Heavenly Dog" or "Heavenly Sentinel") are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion. They are considered a type of yôkai (supernatural beings) or Shinto kami (gods). In folk tales, the hauchiwa sometimes can grow or shrink a person's nose, but usually, they have attributed the power to stir up great winds.
