Rakshasa:
D&D-style monster (actually based on real world myths and whatnot).
has a tiger/alligator/etc face, backwards hands, and is a powerful evil being.
Spiel is known as the "tiger queen", has what may be backwards hands, and is in a classic villain "sitting down in very comfy evil chair" pose. I wouldn't be surprised if it were intentional.
I think it's kinda cool.
