pixel art, game character design, single image, no spritesheet, no multiple frames, front view, full body, sharp pixel edges, clean silhouette, no anti-aliasing, limited color palette, 16-bit style. The Yayu, a fallen deity turned man-eating monstrosity from the Shanhaijing. Its body is like a massive, emaciated ox with raw, hairless, crimson-red hide stretched tight over jagged bones. Its face is a mockery of a human visage — flat, wide, and expressionless, with sunken eye sockets holding faintly glowing, deep-sea pupil-less eyes that leak a thin trail of black ichor. Its mouth hangs open, a lipless, fanged maw crusted with grave dirt and old gore. Two asymmetrical, cracked horns crown its skull, one of them shattered and regrown into a spiral of sickly, non-Euclidean bronze-like bone. From its shoulders and flanks, patches of calcified, barnacle-like growths erupt, weeping a pale, plague-yellow fluid. Its hooves are cracked and filthy, each step leaving a faint, withering print in the soil. One forelimb is raised, a jagged, grave-dirt claw dripping a miasmatic green vapor — the bringer of plague. Around its neck hangs a broken bronze talisman, inscribed with distorted cloud-and-serpent motifs, pulsing weakly with a cursed amber light. A tattered funerary shroud, still clinging to its hindquarters, drags on the ground and dissolves into shadowy wisps. The mood is one of ancient, inevitable death — a desecrated god, now a walking tomb. Colors: raw crimson, corpse gray, grave-earth brown, sickly yellow-green, cursed amber, and abyssal blue-black. Clean, sharp pixel silhouette, isolated on a dark void background.
