Illustration by Jean-Claude Mézières, The Beholder prowls a dense, misty forest at twilight, its central eye glowing a sinister red. The trees are gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal hands. Wisps of ethereal light float through the air, casting faint illumination on the Beholder's terrifying form. Its eyestalks dart between shadows, ever vigilant, as if hunting prey. The ground beneath it is littered with the remains of unfortunate travelers. bhlr
