Whip movement animation

<div class="IPBDescription">looks silly currently</div>The whip looks very awkward while uprooted and moving. I think it should slither like a snake, with a toothed or suction mouth. when deploying it would stick its mouth into the infestation and raise its tail and begin whipping. What do people think if my idea?

    Sounds awsome! I suppoe the whip would slither forward with the mouth first, and when told to rot the mouth would bite down in the enfestation and the tail would raise up.

    Not sure about slithering, I'd like to see it roll into a ball like a woodlice or armadillo and roll around instead! <3

    slithering would look awesome. I recently saw the movie slither... perhaps you could copy that animation... linkies! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=uv-cwfv17T8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endsc...p;v=uv-cwfv17T8</a>

    it happens somewhere in that clip.

    I was imagining the whip moving like this. between 0:35-0:53.
    Slitering but still moving very straight, not too much of an "S" slither like a sidewinder.

    And it's mouth would resemble the foot of an abalone

    With small serrated teeth around the lip and tendrils, much like the whip already has now.

    I think it should move like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtC0dhwMycw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtC0dhwMycw</a>

    Probably a ###### to animate, but soo cool! It can even stand up on its hindquarters and do whiplike motions.

    I agree that would lookd cool.
    On the other hand, I love the akward shuffeling motion the whip does now. You can almost hear it apologize for being so akward.

    The alien harvester looks like it should have the ability to move like that.
