Who you meet — small animal husk with a spirit inside

Generated from: Keep this exact hand-drawn ink and watercolour look on textured pale cream paper, with a soft watercolour shadow under the feet and a plain background. Keep the same scale: a small, compact, waist-high companion about the height of a person's hip, standing on the ground in a calm full-body three-quarter view so the player could stand beside it and tie it to themselves. Change the creature into an animal, not a tree. It is a small four-legged animal-shaped being — a hollow, worn animal husk or shell rather than a living tree. The body reads as an animal: a soft muzzle and snout, two rounded upright ears, a curved tail, four short sturdy legs with small paws. No bark, no branches, no antler crowns, no moss patches, no runic carvings. The outer body is a pale, dull, bone-grey and dusty purplish shell, dry and papery, empty and slightly cracked like an old empty hide. Through the cracks and the open chest, a warm pale spirit-light glows softly from the hollow interior — a small ghost tucked inside its dead shell. Two soft glowing pale eyes and a quiet, gentle, slightly sad expression. Loose ink outline, simple flat watercolour washes, few details, clean silhouette, no text.
