Gargoyle's Red Gaze: Dark Fantasy Threat Sprite

A menacing gargoyle-like creature with leathery, tattered wings stands poised, its dark grey body a stark silhouette against the void, punctuated by piercing, glowing red eyes that hint at malevolent intent. Its form is hunched and compact, suggesting a creature of brute strength and lurking danger, perched atop a base of jagged, stone-like fragments. The overall mood is one of dark fantasy and impending threat, evoking the classic, gritty aesthetic of early isometric RPGs. This AI-generated sprite, rendered at a 48x48 resolution and with transparency, captures the essence of a formidable foe from a bygone era of gaming.
