Photorealistic Manticore in a Mirror Maze

Hyperrealistic render of a manticore (lion-like body, human-faced head with sharp teeth, and a long scorpion-like tail) stalking through a labyrinth of mirrors. The scene is ultra-detailed and photorealistic, with lifelike fur textures, expressive eyes, and subtle skin detail. The mirror maze creates infinite reflections and fractured duplicates in kaleidoscopic corridors. Dramatic cinematic lighting: cool blue rim light from above, warm amber highlights on the tawny fur, soft fog, and floating dust motes. Composition from a low-angle, wide-field perspective to emphasize scale and depth, 8k realism, high dynamic range, sharp focus on the manticore while distant mirrors fade into soft bokeh. Mood: eerie yet majestic.
