Tengu's in Gensokyo are said to be mischievous and sometimes malicious, with a propensity for playing pranks on humans, but stories also exist of them acting as mentors. Although they disdain the proud and arrogant, they are often guilty of those same flaws. They are also associated with the arts of war and politics. The tengu of Gensokyo are known for their love of gossip and writing newspapers. Tengu reside in Youkai Mountain and seem territorial of humans and other youkai trespassing within their home. According to Aya Shameimaru, they are great drinkers, only rivaled by Oni. The tengu once had a written language of their own, but no one remains who can read it.
