It incorporates a wide variety of states such as Idle, Locomotion, Jumping, Swimming, Flying, and more, simulating realistic animal behavior. Additionally, it supports extra behaviors including Actions, Attacks, and Damage, catering to different gameplay needs. The controller also accommodates multiple stances like Crouch, Sneak, and Combat, alongside advanced movement features like a Gravity Changer and Root Motion, giving developers the flexibility to create complex and dynamic animal characters for their games. ## States Idle Locomotion Fall Jump RootMotion Jump Basic Swim Underwater Death Wall Run Ledge Grab Free Climb Glide (Wings) Fly Slide ### Runtime State Change (Profiles) E.g.
