I'm thinking more about sea creatures that can move on land, such as Lungfish (which can move awkwardly), Crocodiles, Snakes, Amphibians (Hippopotamus), Epaulette Shark, Giant Crabs and "Elden Ring Crayfish," Penguins -- to name a few animals that are sea-based but can also live and move (with varying degrees of efficacy) on land to make sense of them being spawned and following you around on land.
Animating a minion set like that would most likely be a nightmare, but a person can dream, right?
