The tag implication #67100 tengu_(paizo) -> tengu has been rejected.

Reason: Paizo Tengu may be vastly different from traditional Tengu to the point they probably shouldn't have the same name but they're still called Tengu so they should probably implicate Tengus

EDIT: The tag implication tengu_(paizo) -> tengu (forum #444717) has been rejected by @DawnDaybreak.

Simply sharing a name doesn't warrant a species implication. e6 has its own definition of tengu, however loose it may be, and anything that's tagged tengu needs to fit that definition. Like how pokemon are literally called Pocket Monsters, but they shouldn't all be tagged monster when they don't look like one. Similarly, Paizo creating a creature and calling it a tengu doesn't inherently mean the tengu tag applies, it needs to have the traits expected of one.

Note that I'm unfamiliar with Paizo's tengu, it's entirely possible they are defined to have traits expected of tengu, so an implication could be valid. I'm just saiyan, sharing a name alone doesn't warrant an implication.

Also, it seems kind of weird to call it tengu_(paizo), rather than tengu_(pathfinder) or wherever it's from. Isn't that like calling D&D dragons dragon_(hasbro) or dragon_(wotc), rather than dragon_(dnd)?

Actually fair point lol
Also I called it Paizo and not Pathfinder as currently Starfinder and Pathfinder are considered seperate despite the fact that with the coming release of SF2, Tengu WILL be playable in Starfinder; this is more for consistency given some of the other Pathfinder ancestries are more likely to hop between (Goblins for example) but since there's no name for the shared world I just went with paizo lol.

I did debate instead making it "Pathfinder" and then make alias requests to make in the case for starfinder things. I also may just be thinking too much about things that won't happen given that Pathfinder and Starfinder both have 2 shared ancestries (Ysoki/Ratfolk and Androids) that are common enough in both settings despite being, in lore, the exact same thing, and it feels unreasonable to have 2 separate tags for what are ostensibly the exact same thing by literally every definition.
