Ladies!

There are various anecdotes aboutSending dog"There is a type of monster called
It is something that has become popular.
The image is "Okuri Okami"

When walking along a mountain path at night, a dog named Okuri-inu follows you quietly from behind.
It is a feature of the game that if you trip and fall, you will be killed and eaten.
