Crab Animation Demos

10 animation options for the crab mascot. Nothing on the live site is changed — this is a preview page only.

1. Idle Bob

subtle
Gentle floating like he's bobbing in water. Always on, barely noticeable. Good for the nav logo.

2. Hover Wiggle

playful
hover me
Quick excited wiggle when you hover. Feels alive without being annoying.

3. Claw Snap

playful
click me
Squish-bounce on click, like claws snapping shut. Satisfying micro-interaction.

4. Hello Bounce

playful
Bouncy entrance on page load. Pops in with a little spin — plays once then settles.

5. Sideways Crawl

easter egg
Walks across the screen sideways with a leg-wiggle. Great as an idle easter egg after 30s, or in the footer area.

6. Peek-a-boo

easter egg
watch below...
Peeks up from the bottom, looks around, dips back down. Could trigger when you scroll to the footer.

7. Spin Party

playful
click me
Full 360 spin on click. Fun reward for clicking the logo. Maybe plays confetti sound too?

8. Breathing Glow

fancy
Gentle pulse with a coral glow emanating outward. Premium feel. Good for hero sections or loading states.

9. Tipsy Walk

easter egg
Wobbly drunk walk, drifting side to side. Could trigger after a certain time idle, like the crab got into the minibar.

10. Nav Combo (Recommended)

The combo: Idle bob (always) + hover wiggle + coral glow on hover. This is what I'd put in the nav. Subtle personality without being distracting. Hover to see the wiggle.
