Cinderhide idle sheet (front)

Generated from: Create exactly one square sprite sheet for the game Hollowtide: a 2x2 grid of four frames of the SAME creature, forming a four-frame idle breathing loop. Reading order is top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. All four frames show the identical creature at identical size, identical position inside its cell, identical palette, identical outline weight, and the identical three-quarter side view facing right. Only the breathing differs: Frame 1 (top-left), neutral: creature at rest, ember vents dim. Frame 2 (top-right), inhale start: chest lifted by one grid cell, vent glow a little brighter. Frame 3 (bottom-left), inhale peak: chest and shoulder one grid cell higher, head a hair higher, vent glow at its brightest. Frame 4 (bottom-right), exhale: body settled back down to the neutral height, vent glow fading back to dim. The creature, Ember essence, a compact charcoal reptile: blunt wedge snout, two short horn plates, ember vents, sturdy foreclaws, a low braced body with a broken sawtooth spine, proud and wary, one foreclaw forward. Palette is coal black, iron gray, and restrained ember red and orange used ONLY in the vents and cracks. Not a cute dragon: no round belly, no wings, no flame mane. PIXEL ART: depict a true 100x100 pixel grid enlarged into a square image. Every grid cell is one flat colour. No gradients, blur, anti-aliasing, noise, or soft edges. Details thinner than one grid cell are omitted. BACKGROUND: solid pure magenta #FF00FF, one exact flat colour, everywhere outside the four creatures, including the gutters between the cells, the outer margins, and all four corners. No transparency, checkerboard, shadow, floor, border, frame lines, labels, numbers, or text. Never use magenta on the creature itself. STYLE: mature, grounded folklore creature art; not cute, chibi, or toy-like. Exactly four full-body creatures, one per cell, each centred in its cell, each filling about 80 percent of the cell height with its feet three grid cells above the cell's bottom edge. Dark one-grid-cell outline, strong chunky silhouette, low interior detail, no more than 16 colours in total. Output exactly one image: the 2x2 sheet, four cells, no extra panels.
