I've actually been looking for one of these, and my daughter had one drop from the Avicara Tengu outside the Troll Cave:

The screen shot is a PNG image hosted on my web site. If you can't see it:

Shocking Feathered Longbow of Tenguslaying
Lightning dmg: 15-28 (req. 13 Marksmanship)
+18% Damage (versus Tengu)

It just seems... so appropriate. I can imagine my ranger triumphantly plucking a villainous Tengu and adding its feathers to her bow...

Note, BTW, that Tengu are also weak to lightning damage,

And next time I go to Mineral Springs, this bow is going along... my ranger REALLY hates Tengu.

My alltime favorite was getting a Dwarven Axe of Dwarfslaying from a stone summit boss while exploring in the Northern Shiverpeaks.

When I think ironic, those damned freakish mods always come to mind...I had a purple sheild drop for me with a +24 AND -20 health mod...the give and take of it seemed ironic...

But in terms of the drops and droppers...A deadbow of skeletonslaying dropped by an undead ranger on my way to spank Galraith comes to mind...purple, non-max damage peice of salvagefodder barely worth the wood plank i got out of it.

My favorite was a poisonous longbow of skeletonslaying. Absolutely the funniest drop I ever got. Right up there, though, were the many weapons of charrslaying that the charr dropped.

This doesn't sound possible; both fortitude and charrslaying are axe grips.

I could just see the OP going out to kill some Tengu with his new bow, then to his surprise find the Tengu shouting "I Will Avenge You!" all of a sudden, lol.

Seriously though, that is a nice bow and would come in handy against the cursed chicken men.

*shrug* My main weapons are staffs so I only deal with staff wrappings and staff heads. Though I've never managed to salvage a staff head. *shrug* From what I read on GuildWiki the species modifiers aren't upgrades so it wouldn't be impossible to add a grip of Fortitude.

Can you show the link to the guildwiki page pls?

There's an axe grip of fortitude and there's an axe grip of charslaying. So what you say in your first post (fortitude axe of charslaying) is NOT possible. Sometimes it's hard to admit a mistake, don't worry life goes on.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I used to farm Giants in the desert (Arid Sea, if I remmeber correctly) which frequently dropped Giant Slayers Hammers. That always confused me.

I reread it and I'm still confused. It says the species Hilts are upgrades but I've never been able of get any Staff Wraps or Staff Heads for species. Today I got a Shortbow of Tenguslaying and salvaged it with a Superior Salvage kit to see if I would get an upgrade component. I got 14 Planks of Wood. *lol* Maybe I'm just unlucky.

Here's the page: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Weapon_upgrade
I looked at the suffix upgrades but found no species upgrades listed.

Ok, I can see now why you're confused. Staves can have for example a prefix +30hp and a suffix +30 hp, but this doesn't work for weapons like an axe. Also staves have no species mods. They have other kind of suffix mods like for example 'blood magic +1 20%'.

Axes (swords, hammers, bows) on the other hand don't have a prefix mod +30 hp, but they do have species suffix mods and a +30hp suffix mod.

I hope this makes things a bit more clear for you.

Mostly correct Gun Pierson. However, staves DO come in species slaying mods, but are very rare and worthless.
I once sold Savio a staff wrapping of undeadslaying 12% for 500g

Ive never actually seen it, but Id think a "Giant Slayers Hammer of Dwarfslaying" would be pretty ironic.
Which is it? Giants or Dwarves? Giant Dwarves (normal human sized)?
