Tengu

The Tengu (長鼻族) are a group of individuals residing in the Khusha Mountains that borders the Jura Forest, the Harpy Kingdom Fulbrosia and the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion. Although they compose a relatively small population residing in the mountain range, they are worshipped as gods of the mountains. Given that they inhabit the intricate mountain range outside of the Forest of Jura not even the Sky Queen Frey or Empress Elmesia would dare to disturb them. They established their village before on an inaccessible mountain summit. Although it was once believed that there could be no one capable of inhabiting that place, it seems that those of high ranking races aren't bothered so much by such environments.

Overview
They are angels incarnated into the bodies of mountain wolves, thus resembling a hybrid of the aforementioned races. They are a group born from a single and unique individual, much like Ranga. Resembling a hybrid species between angels and mountain wolves, the male tengus resembles humanoids with a reddish skin color and long nose, while female tengus look like ordinary human. The single individual that led to this species was a female tengu elder. And since creating all these children apparently weakened the elder to the point of powerlessness, Momiji became the current tengu leader.

Benimaru visited the tengu's domain and successfully got their permission to allow the migration of high orc s through their territory, but the tengu are so proud that just the possibility of Rimuru enforcing his rule over the mountains would certainly result in war.

''Volume 8: Territorial Seizure - I thought that they were called tengu because they had long noses. The tengu race was the heavenly dog (tengu), in simpler terms, they were the mixed race between angels and mountain wolves (Okami)''
