Tengu Warriors in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie

In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie the Tengas were called Tengu Warriors and were created by Ivan Ooze's loogie. They attacked the Power Rangers on Phaedos, but were defeated by Dulcea, forcing them to retreat. Because of this Ivan Ooze killed them by electric bolts from his fingertips.

An early draft of the script has Ivan Ooze, after the Tengus' initial failure at destroying the Rangers, called upon the power of darkness to make lightning bolts supercharge the Tengus' evil tenfold, then he used an energy bolt to create a differently-colored Queen Tengu with glowing red eyes. A "Queen Tenga" appears as a boss in the Game Boy version of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie.
