So, the effect doesn't move with the creature? And during the flight-jump, the creature is headless? And then the head returns to its place? On the new cell?

Well, that’s the second problem. That is, the head disappears, and the model grows (screenshots were taken before and during the jump – the model has noticeably grown). In short, we’ll do without the jump because we were also planning upgrades with a spiky back and armor; that would create even more effects.

During the jump, they have their own model. So, even if you give a jump ability to fire demons from the elder demons, the model will change to that of the elder demon during the jump and revert back upon landing.
The same thing happens with ents; during the rooting animation, the model of the ancient ent changes to that of a new ancient ent, which has its own animation set.
Therefore, if you give wild ents the rooting ability, they will turn into ancient ents during the rooting animation.

No, it's some kind of nonsense; the model didn't change here (it was initially large, and the animations shrunk it to a normal size), and I also played with a mod that changed zombies to mummies; they also jumped, and the model didn't change.

Rakshasas also jumped in Warlords.

Well, it seems I had some kind of bug in my jump plan.

As for the scaling, I think it's quite simple. The jump effect has its own size, which is different from the creature's size. That's why, at the moment the effect is applied, the model scales up, and when the effect ends, the model returns to its original size.

Ah, you mean that when exporting from a 3D program, a larger version of the model was saved to the model file, while a smaller version was saved to the animation files? And that's why we see this difference during a jump?

So, to prevent the head from disappearing during a jump, it needs to be attached in 3D, not with an effect.

By the way, Zobr (can I call you that?), could you create a couple of creatures based on horned demons instead of imps?

You can use Zobrom, but I don't have any skull models for demons, and I wanted to use other monsters for them.

I'm next in line. Zobr is currently busy with my order.
