Tengu

''Bird-people who love to fight, both with weapons and spells. They are quite fragile, but they learn to fly swiftly later on.''

Tengu is a Species in Dungeon Crawl.

Tengu are strong mages, beating Deep Elves in Conjurations and some elemental schools. Their general positive aptitude base hint at a hybrid-esque play-style, with conjurations such as Lightning Bolt, Fireball or Freezing/Poison Cloud in the mid-game supplementing a weapon of some kind, with late-game Conjurations pointing towards Tornado. This is a feasible option; however, given the fragility of the race, playing a pure mage is likely to be easier. Tengu also benefit from early speed boosts due to their flight granting a movement speed bonus.
