haha pretty cool love the browns and the monster design
The HUD, although very minimal in colour is very simple and good in design and works well with the overall animation. I like the background shading on the bushes and trees as it steers off towards the right hand side. It's very smooth in design and I know I would play this game based on these 98 frames alone.
The creature is definitely an Ultrawyvern/Hocus Chimaera from Dragon Quest.

Like this a lot, esp. the colors and the smoothness of the whole scene!
i like the first attacker the best, geez this must of taken some pationce to animate.
The bird-like creature reminds me of an enemy of some Dragon Warrior game, a wyvern, I think.
But if he had a potion, why didn't the monter drink it in order to save his life? Age old RPG question.
Looks great, thanks for posting.
