Here is our first pass on the Blitz Striker's slither animation.Like the other dragons, the Blitz will have three main forms of locomotion including slow, normal, and fast. This animation will either be used for slow or normal movement speed once finished.

I thought that it would crawl like a skull crawler

That or use the wings to crawl

I like that you went with slithering, don't see that often for dragons

The blitz animation is horrible. It makes no sense, imagine having to hold your arms straight up or outwards in the air like that for an extended period of time or while you're walking/running. The blitz would be so much better off if it had propped itself up on it's wings like proposed prior. I don't think ANYONE voted for this pose, at the very least- others chose the better looking slithering options.

Tbh i think the wings should at least be on ground to assist with it’s slither. I feel like this should be more of a crouch walk then its normal speed. Wings should definitely be used here then hanging out like that. I love the look of the blitz striker and i do love snakes.

Given some of the comments here, I think it's worth remembering that the Blitz is SUPPOSED to be slow and awkward on the ground; in fact, as I recall, it's intended to be the slowest of all (at least for now). Further, including the wings in its locomotion would lead to an awkward gait akin to either a) a flailing maggot, b) a corpse being dragged, or c) someone constantly crawling beneath strands of razor wire. These would all make it slower still, interfere with a proper snake slither, and the last would make it one of the wider dragons on top of that, without the strength to knock down everything in its way so it didn't get caught on the world at large. Besides that, it would be much more difficult to animate. It's already going to be hard or impossible for the Blitz to take off for flight when it can't jump to gain altitude and make room for its wings to flap—pretty much the only reasonable solution to this, other than it slamming its wings onto the ground to shove itself into the air, is to force it to climb trees first or fall off cliffs—so having its alulae jammed into the ground to hook on all of creation is only going to make that worse. Everyone's preference for realism is admirable—I love it, personally—but in the end we're dealing with inherently unrealistic creatures. Something is going to have to give somewhere, and this might be one place. The whole point of a snake-like dragon is to have it behave like a snake, not like a maggot writhing helplessly in rot.

You think you can do better? No? Then just be grateful we have this

It’s called critique, buddy. How about judge something and offer improvements rather than clapping dramatically and saying “wow this is amazing” without actually considering anything in blind support.

Why not have it where the wings are aiding in pushing the Blitz along the ground, but instead of having the claws on the ground, they can be propped up similar to raptor toes, as to not dull its claws for "latching" as proposed in the stream.

Ut would be better i guess if it helps itself with its claws to crawl or something

I love it! When snakes slither they hold their head straight vs going with the flow of their body. Just a thought! ❤ 🐍
