Is that the Butcher in the Depths? It looks a bit... manly haha. Butchers are female, according to Miyazaki, but I'm assuming you didn't know that (most don't).
You peek down the poorly lit stairs and come across a large, lumbering shape, its face hidden by a burlap sack. The creature carries a foul-smelling piece of meat, which it then feeds to a mangy, even fouler-smelling mutt, its drooling fangs promising an unpleasant fate should they find their way around your throat.
(This is oddly fun... I almost feel like going back and adding a gamebook-style text to all of the artworks xD)
