Tengu are a medium sized, arboreal, humanoid inhabiting the lush mountain and forest terrain of Nippon . Communal and highly social, Tengu live in large extended family units with a matriarch or patriarch at the helm. 

Sexual dimorphism is subtle. With males and females being roughly the same size, color and shape. While males and females both posses large noses, dominant elder males have been recorded having noses that extended beyond their stomachs. Such a nose is incredibly attractive to highly selective females. 

While relatively docile in nature, if provoked, they can be quite dangerous, using their large fangs, claws and brute to wield fatal blows. This ferocity is especially displayed during territory disputes amongst rival clans.  

While relatively high on the food chain Tengu are still susceptible to predation. Kitsune, Ryu and at times even Oni will actively hunt adult Tengu. However it is the young pups who are most susceptible during their nascent voyages away from mom. 

While incredibly nimble in the trees, Tengu also are able to fly. Due to their robust bodies they can only fly for short distances but can cover vast distances despite this.

An eclectic diet, Tengu are opportunistic eaters. With a diet ranging from fruits and nuts to Kappa chicks and small rodents. 

Due to their high intelligence Tengu are known tricksters who will regularly steal clothing, food and supplies from lost travelers.

The Monkey King Invades Onmyodo!

It's Son Goku aka The Monkey King aka Sun Wukong, one of the more powerful, but chaotic Travelers that can appear in my new game Onmyodo. With his super-staff weapon (worth 3 normal staffs!) and Cloud Fly ability, he can really make a dramatic difference in the group! Though he really lacks in many of the traits required for traveling itself! (Hopefully the rest of the group can help him along...)

Fun fact: one of the Quests in the game is to help an Evolving or Animal Traveler attain Enlightenment. Son Goku fits both of these categories so would be a perfect candidate!

Shinigami #LorelayGalery São tidos como deuses ou espíritos associados a morte. Apresentam diversas similaridades com o que conhecemos por Ceifador, entrentanto, esses seres sobrenaturais podem se manifestar de uma forma menos assustadora. Esses seres chegaram tardiamente a sistemática mitologia japonesa, não existindo no folclore tradicional do Japão. O termo “shinigami” significa, literalmente, deus da morte, com “shi” significando morte e “kami” significando deus ou espírito. Somente no século XVIII e XIX que essa figura adentrou ao folclore japonês. A literatura clássica japonesa não nós fornece nenhuma menção destes seres, sendo que as primeiras instâncias conhecidas do termo aparecem no Período Edo. Não obstante sua similaridade com a figura do Grim Reaper, é importante notar que algumas diferenças relevantes os distinguem. Na crença ocidental, a morte é vista como um ser aterrorizante, sendo o Grim Reaper a personificação desta. No folclore japonês, a morte é vista como um processo natural do ciclo da vida e o Shinigami é visto como apenas um indivíduo que facilitam o bom andamento deste ciclo. Em contrate com o Grim Reaper, que pode ser descrito como um “colhedor de almas”, o Shinigami apenas garante que o indivíduo morra na hora marcada, escoltando suas almas na pós-vida. A iconografia destas duas personas também difere bastante. O Grim Reaper é, tradicionalmente, tratado como um esqueleto, com capa preta, portando uma foice. Quanto aos Shinigamis, acredita-se que muitos existam sob aparências desconhecidas. A figura do shinigami persistiu ao longo dos tempos e sua forte presença pode ser notada na cultura pop, sendo retratados em diversos animes e mangás japoneses modernos como, por exemplo, Bleach, Death Note, Naruto e Sou Eater. Obra: “Shinigami”, de Arnon Arradaza (2021). #myth #mythology #japanesemythology #japan #japanese #shinigami #death #grimreaper #kami #mito #mitologiajaponesa #japao #deusdamorte #ceifador #morte https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCzWLJOA3y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
