A large green dragon with prominent teeth and horns dominates the upper half of the image against a red and yellow fiery background. Below it sits a gray tombstone with white text reading "FOUR ELEMENTS RULE THE UNIVERSE." The Drakkhen logo appears in yellow text at the top left corner. The lower portion shows a small sprite character standing on gray rocky terrain with flames and explosions visible in the background, rendered in 16-bit SNES-era pixel graphics with a dark color palette.
