I have more problems because the inkscape version this was created with is so old that the DPI changed, and the coordinates also seem to be wrong (did up/down, i.e. y-coordinate zero, switch at some point in the inkscape past?), but I think I can manage now.

If you want to try yourself, the input file is available in https://github.com/0-wiz-0/monsterz
this might work
inkscape --actions="export-area:800:480:860:540;export-width:64;export-height:64;export-filename:graphics/icon.png;export-do;" ./graphics.svg
