The sprite of a regular Tenda tribesman.

The Tenda tribe (Japanese:グミぞく Gummy Tribe) resides hidden away in Tenda Village and Deep Darkness. There are two separate tribes, separated due to the Tenda villagers' shyness.[1] Ness first meets the tribe living in Tenda Village in Deep Darkness. The Tenda who live here are very shy, unable to speak to Ness. The leader of the tribe knows about a book which helps overcome shyness, so Ness goes to retrieve it. After finding it, Ness then gives the Tenda Village's leader the Overcoming Shyness book. Once the Tenda Village's leader reads it to the rest of the Tenda, he also gives Ness some Tendakraut as thanks for solving their shyness problem. A stronger member of the tribe also assists Ness in getting to the Lost Underworld.

In the Lost Underworld is where the rest of the Tenda tribe reside. They live in an enclosed space, however one member insists that the world outside is actually a cage. In contrast to the Tenda living above, these Tenda are very social. The tribe allows Ness to enter the village after being given the Tendakraut. Here is where Ness meets the talking rock who reveals the location of the final Sanctuary.

Sometime after the events of EarthBound, the two tribes then reunite.[2]

Trivia

  • If Ness chooses to speak to the Tenda tribe's leader after the tribe overcomes their shyness, he will give him a Bag of Dragonite.
