A hauntingly captivating illustration of a mythical dog-lion-hyena hybrid creature, with a striking blend of features that make it both fearsome and fascinating. The creature's massive, powerful nose takes deep breaths, while its bone armor, resembling a skull, is fused with its skin. Its empty eye sockets are stained with blood and bear traces of bone fractures from past battles. Its lion-like paws end in long talons, ready to strike, and its cold breath and menacing fangs create a chilling atmosphere. The creature's ash gray skin is marred by numerous scars, a testament to its battle-hardened nature. This legendary being exudes both strength and a sense of tragedy, capturing the imagination and evoking a sense of awe.
