A tall, eerie humanoid creature with a twisted, goat-like face grins menacingly. It has glowing yellow eyes, scraggly facial hair, and wears a battered, patchwork cloak and a floppy, tattered hat with crooked horns protruding from it. Its clawed hands grip a gnarled wooden staff topped with a softly glowing lantern. The figure has thin, bony legs resembling those of a bird or beast, wrapped in rough twine. The character’s entire appearance is ragged and unsettling, blending organic textures with dark fantasy stylization, set against a stark, nearly white background with ink-like splatter details. Created using Midjourney and my Echoform prompt structure. The original render was saved as a JPEG in Lightroom to optimize file size. This is a complete, unedited image.

When the village elder is definitely not human… but still has excellent directions to the cursed woods.
