The Tardigrade Waterbear Creature reimagines the microscopic “moss piglet” as a full-sized, game-ready monster.
Rendered in Blender 2.91 with Cycles, this model comes with a rigged skeleton for simple posing and animation, and features three unique skin variants that highlight its organic, alien charm.

Features

  • Native Blender 2.91 file with Cycles Render
  • Three texture variants: Moss Piglet, Lichen Tardigrade, Regular Skin
  • 4K texture maps (BaseColor, Height, Metallic, Normal, Roughness)
  • Rigged for animation with walk and idle examples included
  • Clean topology: 3,120 polygons / 3,187 vertices
  • Non-overlapping UVs and optimized material structure
  • Ideal for games, animations, and sci-fi storytelling

Despite its cartoonish base, the model’s surface textures achieve an uncanny biological realism — pink, wet, and strangely endearing.
Perfect for creative projects that blend science fiction and microbiology aesthetics.
