Encyclopedia Entry:
A kind of Harpy that only lives in the Zipangu Region, Crow Tengu are stronger than other Harpies and can fly around the skies at high speeds; they also possess a magic that is said to resemble divine power. The Crow Tengu are said to be followers of a mysterious “Great Tengu”.
Crow Tengu seclude themselves atop mountains and dedicate themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. They seldom appear before humans, though they sometimes secretly visit human villages to study and make records of menacing villains, heroic deeds, and the bloodlines of the villagers. Like other Harpies, Crow Tengu have a mating season; when the time comes, they will descend upon human settlements and kidnap men. They are particular and will only take good men for this purpose, not villains, so a Crow Tengu’s interest can be diverted by shouting insults at her.
Due to their considerable power and self-confidence, Crow Tengu are extremely proud and hard to please. A chance encounter with one will probably only irritate her. However, due to their seclusion, most Crow Tengu have few connections to earthly life and no experience conversing with men. A sympathetic, caring man might be able to win a Crow Tengu’s heart - or he may only send her into a panic.
