Shadow Creature: Photorealistic In-Game Encounter

Photorealistic render of a shadow creature in a dark video game environment. A towering amorphous silhouette made of living ink, with swirling smoke, shifting tendrils, and jagged, claw-like limbs that periodically crystallize from the darkness. Its surface absorbs light with subtle reflectivity, and it has piercing glowing red eyes that float within the void. The scene is a ruined cathedral or dungeon at night, lit by moonlight and flickering torches, with dust particles, deep blue-gray tones, and warm amber highlights. The creature moves with unsettling smoothness, casting elongated, irregular shadows on damp stone walls. Real-time rendering cues: dynamic lighting, volumetric fog, god rays, screen-space reflections, global illumination, motion blur on the tendrils. The image evokes a boss encounter, optimized for game engines (Unreal Engine/Unity) with PBR materials and game-ready detail. Perspective: eye-level close-up to emphasize texture of smoke and eyes, with scale suggesting a looming presence beyond the frame.
