Legend[]
As its name implies, Yama-Tengu is a tengu that lives deep in the mountains.
In Shigeru Mizuki's works, (presumed) supernatural phenomenons found in mountains that Yama-Tengu is capable of performing, Tengu-Daoshi and Tengu-Tsubute were more focused on rather than Yama-Tengu itself. It was rumored that if you shoot a gun three times, the phenomena will cease, but because Yama-Tengu was considered to be a mountain god, no one has ever attempted it.
