Dense Caption

Pixelated white skull icon on solid black background. Skull has large black eye sockets, small black nasal cavity, and jagged black teeth. Faint gray rectangular text block above skull, pixels too low-resolution to read. Icon uses high-contrast black-and-white palette with grayscale transition pixels. No visible motion or animation. Composition centers skull horizontally and vertically. Pixelation suggests low-resolution digital rendering.
