I worked on some creature designs and animations in flash for a game in a small studio about a year or more ago, I don't know if the game ever went ahead but this is one of three creatures created for it, they were made to assist the player in a puzzle game.
Idle animation: wiggle wiggle, for when the creature sits at the top of the screen waiting to be used.
Attack/magic animation 1: Front flip, for when the creature uses it power
Attack/magic animation 2: Bouncy bounce, I wasn't sure about the front flip so I also tried out a different movement
