Creature Movement Collection Guide

The Creature Movement collection consists of a comprehensive range of sounds that creatures make when they move. The sounds include flying, biting, clawing, sliding, jumping, falling, walking, creeping, slithering, and swimming. You can use the sounds with a wide variety of creatures: from elephants to emus, snakes, insects, birds, beasts, or any combination. The subprojects are configured according to movement type, so the contents of each subproject can differ accordingly. For example, flying and slithering projects have customizable loops, and footsteps have different size scales and surface types.

The complete list of all the subprojects and their associated data and embedded metadata is available in the accompanying Creature Movement SoundBook.
