Crouching Baku (Mythical Creature) by Sadatake: A small, crouching mythical creature with a long snout and curled tail. The creature has a golden-brown color with darker brown and gold accents. It has a distinctive tuft of hair on its head and curled, spiral patterns on its back. The creature's body is rendered in a shiny wood or metal material. Its four legs are visible, with the front legs bent under its body and the back legs tucked underneath. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow cast by the creature.
