I believe these go by several names: Wood Spirit, Wild Man, Savage Man, Woodwose.
The Wood Spirit is said to be Lord of the Forest and Natural Things. Seeing one is said to be quite a lucky thing, and European villagers used to go out on regular hunts, hoping to find a Wood Spirit to foretell the future of their village.

It is said that the forest will stand for as long as the Wood Spirit remains to keep order. And if you're lucky enough to see one, health happiness, and good fortune will be yours.

When you take your Wood Spirit home, give it a place of honor. Your Wood Spirit will bring his gentle wisdom, humor, and luck into your home.

I enjoy carving wood spirits and these are commonly carved into pieces of drift wood or cotton bark but can be carved into any wood with the right tools.

great idea and fits the theme well although i think this picture could be improved if it was more in focus and perhaps would look good if the wood spirit was placed in a tree outside.

Nice idea, but I'd at least crop out a bit from the right so you get rid of the TV (or whatever that is) with the wires and stuff.

How about a little chess?

I realise you are probably so far away to show how small the board is, but I think being closer would be much better.
