Fotoreal Nue på Alpine Cliff

A dramatic fantasy wildlife illustration of a single {argument name="creature name" default="Nue"}, shown full body and centered, prowling toward the viewer on a rocky alpine ledge high above the clouds. The beast is a chimera with exactly 3 major animal traits combined into one seamless body: the face and fluffy black-and-white mask of a raccoon dog or tanuki, the muscular orange-and-black striped body of a tiger, and 1 long snake tail arcing upward behind it with banded scales. Its fur is dense and realistic, with a dark mane-like ruff around the neck, rounded ears, amber eyes, and an alert, uncanny expression. The front limbs are lifted in motion with oversized curved black claws, emphasizing a stalking, predatory gait. Set the scene in a vast {argument name="mountain setting" default="3,000 meter high cloud-level cliff in a rugged snowy mountain range"}, with steep forested valleys, jagged snowcapped peaks, scattered conifer trees, exposed rock, and bright daylight under a blue sky with soft white clouds. Cinematic low-angle perspective, the creature dominating the foreground, ultra-detailed photorealistic textures, natural mountain lighting, sharp focus on the monster with atmospheric depth in the background, epic yokai field-guide aesthetic, believable anatomy, high contrast, majestic and ominous mood.
