Mythological Nue Stalking Alpine Mountain Ledge

A dramatic fantasy wildlife illustration of a single [Nue], full body and centered, prowling toward the viewer on a rocky alpine ledge high above the clouds. The chimera combines three animal traits into one seamless body: the facial mask of a tanuki raccoon dog, the muscular orange-and-black striped body of a tiger, and one long snake tail arcing upward with banded scales. Dense fur texture with a dark mane-like ruff around the neck, rounded ears, amber eyes, and an alert, uncanny expression. Front paw raised in a predatory stalking gait, displaying oversized curved black claws. Setting: a vast [3,000 meter high cloud-level cliff in a rugged snowy mountain range], with steep forested valleys, jagged snowcapped peaks, scattered conifers, and exposed rock under crisp daylight and a soft blue sky. Cinematic low-angle perspective with atmospheric depth, epic mythological field-guide aesthetic, natural mountain lighting, high contrast, majestic and ominous mood.
