Massive horned dragon resting atop a glinting gold hoard in a dim sunlit underground cavern
A regal ancient fantasy dragon with spiked golden scales and membranous wings curls asleep on a vast pile of coins, crowns, and treasure deep in a stone vault. Warm slanted sunlight streams through a narrow cavern opening, gilding the dragon's textured hide and casting dramatic deep shadow across the scene. The mood is brooding, atmospheric, and evocative of classic medieval dragon lore.
