A dark, dense forest at night, shrouded in heavy fog. Twisted, ancient trees loom overhead with tangled roots covering the forest floor. Emerging from the shadows is a towering, stick-like humanoid figure with elongated limbs, its silhouette jagged and unnatural, blending into the twisted branches. Its eyes glow faintly with an eerie, predatory awareness. In the foreground, a frightened dog strains against its leash, barking toward the figure. The atmosphere is tense, mysterious, and foreboding, with cinematic lighting and a dark, moody color palette.
