Neon Manticore in a Cyberpunk Pagoda

A towering manticore with chrome-dyed fur and cybernetic implants stands inside an ornate multi-tiered pagoda. The beast has a lion's head with a gleaming horn, augmented glass eyes, and a pulsating neon crest along its spine. Its scorpion tail ends in a retractable plasma stinger. The interior blends ancient timber carvings, lacquered beams, and holographic runes. Neon signage and holograms flicker across shoji-like screens; rain taps on brass lanterns and wet wooden floors reflect magenta, cyan, and electric gold. Drones perch on carved brackets; wind-whipped banners bear corporate insignias. Beyond the open balcony, a distant cyberpunk city skyline glows with rain-soaked megastructures. The scene is moody, cinematic, with dramatic rim lighting, wet textures, and a sense of awe as the manticore surveys the pagoda interior.
