It is a widely known fact that Tengu a.k.a. Avicara a.k.a. Chicken are some of the most hated monsters in the entire history of gaming. Oh Great Devs, why did you have to include one of those vile creatures as a henchman? This is a slap on the face of all those of us who have died countless times to Avicara Fierce Spikes or Caromi Tengu Wild Conjure Phantasms.

It was a cruel, cruel joke to place a Chicken inside a city -- a place that is usually a safe haven protected from the countless horrors in the world. I am going to have nightmares for the rest of my life. I do not believe I will ever sleep soundly again... what if there is a Chicken sleeping next to me?

Perhaps you did not understand my point. I do not have a problem with different races. I do have a mental and emotional problem with this particular race *shudder*, and I am sure a very large percentage of my fellow players will agree. The only single thing worse than this would have been an Ice Imp henchman. *passes out at the thought of an Ice Imp henchman*

EDIT: Can you imagine what the plight of healers would be? How can they get themselves to use the pure and beautiful Word of Healing on the foul creature? It would require nerves of steel and a heart of gold, I tell you.

Hey, Tengu henchie is awesome. Not as awesome as an Owl henchie with "O RLY" elite would have been, but still.

I actually like the fact that there's a Tengu Henchie. Pretty cool, IMO. And if people don't like the henchie, I'm sure they'll just...not choose it. *shrug*

I think it's really cool to have a hated enemy as a henchman. It gives it a dynamic, that not EVERY birdman is wanting your head on a platter (complete with Lieutenant's Helm).

However...

I do hate how noisy he is
