A majestic photorealistic stag-owl chimera with antlers and wings stands in a misty, sunlit forest.

A majestic chimera, a stag-owl hybrid. Body of a strong stag with brown short fur, muscular and elegant. Head of a barn owl, with the pale heart-shaped face mask, large black round eyes, and a hooked beak. Above the owl face rise large branched stag antlers, like a crown of bone. The neck partly feathered at the front, furred at the back. Large owl wings attached to the shoulders, wide and powerful, feathers pale golden-brown on top with dark spots, whitish below, soft and silent. Forelegs of the stag transformed into owl talons: scaled forearms ending in long curved black claws. Hind legs remain stag-like, with dark split hooves. Tail long and plume-like, feathered, fuller and longer than a stag’s, more developed than an owl’s tail, gradient from reddish brown at the base to pale feathers tipped with dark edges. The creature stands in a majestic and mysterious pose, noble yet eerie, blending the grace of a stag with the nocturnal mystique of a barn owl. Highly detailed, realistic fantasy illustration, dramatic lighting, sharp focus. See more
