Beast, Animal
On the grass near a rice paddy sits a creeper that is some sort of a dog beast, a vicious animal. This creeper isn’t just a normal dog, it is more beast-like, more like a feral animal than domesticated pet.
Picture this beast creeping, low to the ground, in the grass around the rice paddy. It's got its eyes on you. Uh oh.

The beast is guarding its precious jewels (じゅう), which it buried in the grass or the rice paddy somewhere. If you don't want the beast to think you're coming to steal those jewels, you better keep your distance.
All beasts have something they're trying to protect. In this case, it's some beastly jewels.
