Where is the burrow animation?

[stan0033]

When I opened the model of Crypt fiend I couldnt find morph animation nor Stand Alternate.

So how does he do this ground texture of digged ground? Is it the burrow ability that does it?

I'm trying to make my own burrowing unit..

Did you try it in world editor model viewer or an external model editor like magos or reteras?

Those animations don't exist; "ONHOLDStandSpellDefendAlternate" is just one of those old unused animations that don't have a proper animation name, which makes them hidden and unusable.

Other examples of such animations

Pandaren Brewmaster's spirits (Storm, Earth and Fire) actually have Death and Dissipate animations; they're just named "bla".

Kodo Beast has two stand animations ("oldStand" and "oldStand - 2") in which the Orc rider doesn't strike the drums.

Infernal Contraption has a "blaSpell" animation.

Hippogryph Rider has an unnamed animation in which it falls to the ground.

Destroyer's portrait has one more talk animation, "PortraitTalkAlternateNotUsed - 1".

Portrait of the Spider Crab critter has a talk animation that doesn't work because the word Portrait was misspelled as "Portriat".

Ice Troll, Forest Troll Trapper and Dark Troll Trapper have "oldSpell -Berserk".

Sea Giants have an additional "HoldWalkSwim" animation, in which they are not completely submerged.

Alchemist has a "Monkey" animation, in which the ogre jumps up and down.

Tree Of Life still has a "hold" animation that was used in Warcraft 3 Beta to channel/maintain the Entangled Gold Mine, while mining gold from it.

EDIT: I found the groudn texture in the scarab and used it. Thanks for help.
