They don't have ele's, (except for the 4 bosses), so maybe you can't be an ele as a tengu in gw2.(I'm pretty sure they'll be a playable race) 145.99.177.157 10:12, 27 May 2007 (CDT)

What happens to the Canthan Tengu in GW2?
Are the Trengu of Aerie killed or enslaved in GW2 by the successor of Emperor Kisu? Because a article said that the Canthans reduced all other (to enough of a degree to be talked with) species (AKA Tengu, Naga, Demons etc.) in strength and conquored them.

Reference?
Does anyone recognise the tengu? They strike me as very similar to the creatures called Lyrinx in Ian Irvine's Well of Echoes series of books, it may be just me but that is something i have noticed. 88.105.238.105 22:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

"Lyrinx are described as 8 foot tall humanoids with huge wings, armour plating, six inch claws on their hands and feet, mouths big enough for a human head to fit inside and chameleonic skin. Lyrinx also have golden flecked, intelligent eyes and crests on their heads which show maturity and gender"

Tengu don't have wings,they are birdlike but dont really have wings,especially not huge ones, they have armor plating but that does not distinguish them from any other humanoid mob or creature on books/stories.I don't think their mouths are really big.So according to the Lyrinx description ( it's the only thing i can use as refrence) i would say no, i don't think they are similar.Tengu MIGHT be inspired by lyrinx but because the desriptions are only written and don't come that close in description i don't think they are a refrence.

 * The Chozo are another; tall, usually armour plated, avian race which are by description more plausible and still nowhere near convincingly a reference. Ezekiel  [Talk]  06:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think any of this really matters though. One quick google will show you that Tengu are centuries old Japanese mythology and not a reference to any specific modern thing. Ezekiel  [Talk]  06:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Tengu items remind me heavily of Chozo architecture (especially in Metroid Prime). I agree that they are named after teh Japanese stuff, but for the concept of what to model them etc. they just make me think of the Chozo more than anything else. Meh.
