A photorealistic image of a unique, elongated pepper variety, similar in length to a Hungarian Wax pepper, but with the wrinkled, textured skin of a Carolina Reaper. The pepper should be a vibrant, fiery red color with darker red-brown undertones. Depict the pepper at a slightly overhead angle, with a shallow depth of field that emphasizes its intricate texture and details. The lighting should be naturalistic, with subtle shadows and highlights that enhance the pepper's shape and color. Make the lava dripping effect more intense and realistic, with molten rock-like droplets that seem to ooze from the pepper's surface. The drips should be a bright, fiery orange color that contrasts with the pepper's red hue. Capture the pepper against a warm, slightly blurred background that suggests a sunlit environment. Aim for a high level of detail and realism, as if this extraordinary pepper was photographed in a studio or garden setting.
