This is my own interpretation of the Japanese deity, the Tengu. A mix between a dog and a human, who usually lives on trees and it's commonly known for it's red skin and pointy nose.

It's usually related to martial arts, and nowdays to foreigners on Japan. They do protect the nature and usually go with a Leaf in their hand, from which they could generate storms and hurricanes. For this reason, people go to temples to worship them, just to be on the safe side.

They also say, that bullet spread wouldn't be as bad by having one of these in your weapons, but that's just a legend ;)
