What is a Tengu (Japanese Mythology)?
Dear Sara,
In Japanese mythology, what is a tengu?
Best,
Amy O.
Dear Amy,
Intriguingly enough, the tengu started out being referred to as a heavenly
dog, but they are often depicted as having beaks, wings and other birdlike
attributes.
They are known to be harbingers of war and sometimes disguise
themselves as human priests.

The name's Sara Bellum, and I'm the editor-at-large here at BuzzyMag - the hostess with the mostess, if you will. I like to think that my first calling is fighting crime and delivering a heaping dose of sweet, sweet justice to all manner of thugs, miscreants, hoodlums, ruffians, and ne'er-do-wells, but unfortunately, violent vigilantism doesn't exactly pay big bucks these days.
Times are tough, my friends, and I've got bills to pay, so I decided to put my encyclopedic knowledge of all things sci-fi & fantasy-related to use to help me land a day job. To tell you the truth, it's kind of a nice change of pace. My manicures have been lasting a bit longer lately.
