Pyramid Head?
I wonder if this creature inspired the creation of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 (2001) and Silent Hill (2006). The Wiki page for Pyramid head states: Masahiro Ito, the designer of Silent Hill 2's monsters, created him because he wanted "a monster with a hidden face", but became unhappy with his designs, which resembled humans wearing masks. He then drew a monster with a pyramid-shaped head.
