Prompt:
An enigmatic, ultra-detailed, photorealistic, hyperrealistic digital painting, rendered as high-end concept art, of a bizarre, chimerical fusion creature scuttling stealthily across the uneven, gravelly seafloor of a dark, deep-sea trench, surrounded by strange hydrothermal vents. This creature is a seamless, genetically engineered hybrid of a **Hermit Crab** and a **Mimic Octopus**, possessing the hermit crab's hard, calcified exoskeleton and an enormous, spiraling gastropod shell (but the shell itself is organic and constantly shifting in color and texture), combined with the mimic octopus's incredible shapeshifting abilities and complex tentacles. Its multiple crab legs are covered in chromatophores, allowing them to instantly change color and pattern, blending perfectly with the surrounding rocks and debris. Its head is a unsettling blend, with one prominent, stalked crab eye (the other is hidden by a constantly morphing octopus-like mantle) and a beak-like mouth hidden amongst a wreath of eight short, thick, powerful tentacles that can rapidly extend and retract. The entire creature has an ethereal, almost translucent quality, as if it's constantly attempting to disappear into its surroundings. A dynamic cinematic, low-angle shot, positioning the creature as a master of disguise and a silent hunter in the abyss, emphasizing its unsettling blend of hard and soft, stable and fluid forms. The primary lighting is sparse, bioluminescent glow from distant deep-sea organisms and subtle light from the hydrothermal vents, creating an eerie, high-contrast environment, highlighting the creature's shifting textures and the surreal beauty of the trench. Small text on the bottom right corner: "digo.a.i", masterpiece quality, Octane render, complex shell and skin textures, volumetric deep-sea particles, intricate bioluminescence.
