Shabo/Shappo from Wonder Boy in Monster World/Wonder Boy III: Monster World V, as depicted in the JP manual and on the JP box/cartridge art—they're one of four recruitable familiars you encounter over the course of the game, and they were brought back as the plot-relevant macguffin spirits in Monster World IV. (Apparently, the main designer on MWIII, who was busy with another project while MWIV was being made, returned specifically to draw the new versions of the familiars/spirits.)

Here's the familiar in-game; idk if the sprite does justice to the illustrations/portraits:

I got really lucky! My wife @ticky found it for free on craigslist. The only catch was we had to transport it, which was really hard because it weighs more than I do, but no one died getting it up the stairs and we got a good CRT for free out of it

Good! I very much miss the days where that was the norm, large consumer CRTs were free but the expectation was you brought help to carry it out. Or you grab it from the curb before the trash is collected. The current market makes me very upset.

Our family had a model similar to that growing up, played a few consoles for the first time on it. They're great TVs and they look the part very well too. I hope it lasts another 30 years with you :)
