The Horned Statue is creepy, and alludes to black magic. It's a male demon trapped inside a feminine looking statue.

There's a lot of skull symbolism in Breath of the Wild. Pic related, Skull Lake, and the Bokoblin have giant skull forts scattered across the landscape.

"Now then, shall we strike a bargain?"
— Horned Statue
The Horned Statue, also referred to as the Granter of Boons, is a statue from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is a ancient Demon who was sealed inside a statue by Hylia in East Necluda in the area where Hateno Village was eventually founded.

The Horned Statue was originally an unnamed Demon to whom people once prayed and made Faustian deals in order to obtain long life or wealth. This did not sit well with the Goddess Hylia, who trapped it in a statue as punishment. Hateno Village was built near where it rested, and the people began calling it the Horned Statue, although they generally ignored it to the point they would not even bother wiping away the bird droppings. Despite years of mistreatment, the Demon waited patiently for someone who would strike a bargain with it.
A young boy named Teebo found the statue and later showed it to Link. Mistaking it for one of Hylia's Goddess Statues, Link prays before it. The statue assumes that he was paying homage to it and is surprised when Link could actually hear it. The demon tells Link about its past and attempts to strike a bargain, but Link refuses. It steals one of Link's Heart Containers or Stamina Vessels (which it refers to as "Essence") without leaving a mark.
