Tengu Man

Tengu Man (テングマン) fights with the boldness of a teenager and speaks like one too. He is another Air-themed robot, but he is probably the strongest one. He was created by Doctor Albert W. Wily modeled after the Tengu, a Japanese yōkai, and was put in Japan to occupy Mega Man. In Mega Man and Bass, he enlisted in King's Army to wreak revenge on Mega Man for disgracing him in the previous fight. His stage is one of the two stages unlocked by beating Ground Man.

Trivia

 * Due to his two appearances, Tengu Man has both an Air-themed weapon (Tornado Hold) and a Cutter-themed weapon (Tengu Blade).
 * In Mega Man & Bass, Tengu Man still uses the Tornado Hold in battle, but instead of sending the player skyward for Tengu Man to slash down, the weapon catches the player and tries to dump him off the edge of the platform to his death.
 * Tengu Man is the second robot master based on a mythological creature (first was Centaur Man).
 * Tengu Man's attack, the kamaitachi, is a ball made of sharp wind. The Kamaitachi is a Japanese yokai from folklore that told of a wind weasel capable of creating sharp wind strong enough to cut.
 * Tengu Man has different stage themes in the Saturn and PlayStation versions of Mega Man 8. With his theme from Mega Man & Bass, he's the only classic-series robot master to have three official stage themes.
 * Tengu Man is one of four Robot Masters to give Mega Man two different weapons. The other three are Astro Man, Centaur Man and Pharaoh Man.
 * Tengu Man,Aqua Man and Search Man are the only robotmasters in Mega Man 8 with a NetNavi counterpar.
