Horned Seven-Tailed Beast on Alpine Ridge

A photorealistic wildlife photograph of [a horned leopard with seven tails], inspired by ancient Chinese mythical creature lore: a muscular big cat with a tawny spotted coat, an open roaring mouth, a single straight horn rising from the center of its forehead, and seven long ringed tails fanning backward with pale white tips. The creature stands alert and aggressive with its front paws on a ledge on [a jagged crystal-studded alpine ridge], angled slightly left toward the camera. Embedded around the fractured dark gray stone are prominent [translucent teal-green] crystal formations: shards rising from the cliff wall, chunks across the rocky foreground, and faint crystals in the background mist. The environment evokes a [cold misty dawn] with pale fog drifting through a mountain ravine and a soft-focus peak behind. Executed in [top-tier wildlife photography with cinematic depth of field], with dramatic natural rim lighting from the upper left, sharp fur texture, realistic anatomy, and a muted blue-gray palette.
