Despite his scary look of a face with arms and legs without anything else, the haradashi is a benevolent yokai (it's proper to Japan, translating by demon or spirit would not be precise enough) who loves sake just a little too much. According to the folklore, when he sees someone is sad alone at home, he comes comforting them, and in exchange of sake performs a happy dance for them to cheer them up. He can invite them home (generally a temple) and cook them a good meal. He also receives lost people who are not far from his temple when the weather is harsh or the night is dark.
