Magic of the Ninja – The Worst VHS Covers

So is this thing on the cover supposed to be a ninja with the head of a white lion or just a person wearing a dumb mask? Because the title is 'Magic of the Ninja,' so we're assuming that it has something to do with the supernatural.

This is one time that the VHS cover is probably better looking than the actual product since the actual ninja probably is wearing a rubber lion's mask.
