There's annoying sound so be warned but the video is worth it.

It's almost creepy how animal-like it behaves. Especially with the buzz of the motor that makes it seem like a giant insect.

That's the part that freaks me out - it LOOKS like an animal's legs and then you look up and see nothing there. I am impressed with how well they have duplicated the bottom portion of a real creature.

I noticed it particularly when the guy shoved it sideways and when it stumbled; the reaction was extremely animalistic.
