Curse

Who hasn't been freaked out the first few times you hear the Tengu "grunt"?

There I was, my first few minutes in the game and all of a sudden I'm being swarmed by one of the most feared mobs in all of GW...the Tengu. Well, that lasted for about a second until I remembered that I had one as a Henchie. But I swear each time he grunts is check my radar, looking for the attacking flock of birdies.

As bothersome as it can be, I love it.

Good Job ANet.

Heh, I was surprised to see the Tengu henchmen too, and it is kind of weird hearing it make noises while it runs behind you.

But I agree, I like that henchie, because we know how annoying Tengu can be, and it's nice to have one on our side.

I get annoyed the first few times I hear it chirp, too. Makes me think that the Tengu came all the way from Kryta to give me "hugs".

I personally like hearing him make his noises... atleast you know he is alive, unlike the other completely silent henchmen who... well just sit there like statues. He even breathes!

The real cherry ontop of this cake is that he is a good henchman. Unlike some other... less worthy ones.

I think the Kurzick armadillo/badger monsters are creepy. And they look slightly too primitive to be "henchie material".

MelechRic · Mar 26, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

I'm not too thrilled with the Necro henchmen for the Kurzick. They look like they could go on a diet. Overall, the whole Rot Wallow thing is creepy to me. They look like they'll pop at any moment and spew their guts everywhere.

A little off topic, but the Interrupter Henchie rocks.

Random Scrubinator · Mar 26, 2006, 06:51 PM // 18:51

I love the uniqueness of the wallow and tengu henchmen, but they really should not spread disease to human players

EternalTempest · Mar 26, 2006, 06:51 PM // 18:51

I love the Tengu henchmen and was very surprised to see it.

I too keep thinking I just aggro something when he grunts even though there is zero red around my aggro bubble

Fluffyx · Mar 26, 2006, 08:21 PM // 20:21

Same thing happened to me. I forgot I picked him up. All of a sudden I hear that well known call. I look around and see a tengu! I click him but I cant attack him, then I notice his bars green and I felt stupid. :[

Lol. The tengu hench is a pleasant surprise. Maybe it is just a filler for a new skin they are adding though, who knows?

I hope it stays. Wish I could take it back to Tyria to see it take out some out some of its kind. Coming soon: Mursaat Henchies!

I always know Dunham is around because I hear distortion going off constantly. Much nicer than wigging out, thinking tengu are attacking.

I was like "Damn you stupid tengu, shut up!" last night after awhile, it was getting annoying, and after all the trouble those baseturd birds gave me... I have some slight hate issues, I know... -_-;

We all have issues, well at least those of us who have been to Mineral Springs

Theos · Mar 27, 2006, 12:28 AM // 00:28

I sure don't, those Avicara soloed the Titans for me. Syr comes to mind as he went through a nice chunk of titan for me :P Then I killed him and capped... I am great hu?

Reks · Mar 27, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Talon Silverwing is cool and all, but I prefered the Guardian hench since he contributes more to the group, imo. Shields Up!

Lord Iowerth · Mar 27, 2006, 02:40 AM // 02:40

I agree with the OP (and I do enjoy the non-human hench, that's very neat) but yeah ... when i'm running, and that bird is right behind me grunting ... I have a hard time remembering he's on my team ... i've even clicked on him once or twice and hit an attack skill, just out of habit

wolver1ne · Mar 27, 2006, 02:45 AM // 02:45

I love Tengu/Avicara! Best race in GW! ^___^

Rayne Nightfyre · Mar 27, 2006, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Evil Pidgeons...

After racking up endless DP at the hands of the Avicara Fierces' Ignite Arrows-spamming, I don't think my paranoia will ever allow me to befriend Mr. Silverwing...

And yes, I do agree with Guardian Henchman > Pidgeon Henchmen.
