Project Proxy - Springtail Enemy (Character Design and Animation)

Character from my WIP game, Project Proxy. This is one of the creatures native to the alien world mankind lands on. It pounces on its prey with leaps powered by its strong hind legs and tail used like a spring.

Its design continues with the general aesthetics of the other enemies. The focus of its design was conveying that it couldn't be hurt normally and that you could jump on it once it was vulnerable. I also wanted it to feel unnerving, with a mix of amphibian, reptile and insect features, and spider-like fingers to top it off. Its movements are also creepy and violent.
