Bakemono

Tengu are mountain and forest goblins with both Shinto and Buddhist attributes. Their supernatural powers include shape-shifting into human or animal forms, the ability to speak to humans without moving their mouth, the magic of moving instantly from place to place without using their wings, and the sorcery to appear uninvited in the dreams of the living. Seen here is a Shinto priest in Naha City, Okinawa Japan wearing a Tengu mask at Naminoue Shinto Shrine.
