Now this is a niche meme.

Huh?
"Behold, dog" is a Soul series injoke about player messages about a turtle character, aka Turtle Pope aka Dog Pope.
She is looking at a number of soldiers in a "testudo," meaning tortoise, formation, an anti-missile formation used by the Romans.
I got everything but the souls reference, far fetched, but it'll do, dog.
In the souls series you can use a special item to leave messages in the actual world for other players to see, be It a warning, a tip or even jokes.
When writing these messages, you have to choose a template, that usually have one or more blank spaces, then you choose between their bank of word (locations, items, concepts, monsters, items, etc), to fill the blanks.
Alas, in Elden Ring, we don't have the word "turtle or tortoise", despite having many turtles in the game, like wild and friendly tortoises, an even a literal Tortoise Pope as an NPC.
With this lack of description, we then use the word "Dog", which is available, and honestly pretty funny, you see a tortoise in the wild, and a message near It, then you click thr message and...
"Behold, Dog!"
"Ah... if only I had a Dog"
"Why must it always be Dog?"
"Be aware of Dog"
"Dog ahead"
Turtle pope? That is my dog.
Ok, so this joke is pretty layered. Love it. Haven't played a Souls game in a dogs age, so totally missed that one.
Thanks for that elaboration!
