Art style: Crystal.
A large, majestic Great Horned Owl with thick, mottled grey and brown feathers that look like tree bark. He has striking, deep orange eyes that glow with ancient wisdom and prominent ear tufts. He wears a tiny, weathered wooden monocle on a silver chain around his neck. He is perched on a gnarled, moss-covered oak branch. The background is a dense, misty forest with ancient trees. The lighting is moody and atmospheric, with shafts of light piercing through the canopy.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
3D animated cinematic — characters and key elements rendered as glowing translucent crystal (faceted geometric structures, jewel-toned amethyst / sapphire / emerald / topaz palettes with tiny luminescent particles inside). Hyper-realistic material rendering: subsurface scattering, glowing internal luminescence, beautiful refractions, ray tracing, shallow depth of field. Pixar / DreamWorks-grade polish, 8k Octane / Unreal Engine 5 render quality.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
