Image: STRICT game sprite animation atlas: EXACTLY 8 rows

Generated from: STRICT game sprite animation atlas: EXACTLY 8 rows by EXACTLY 6 columns of EQUAL rectangular cells (48 cells total — ALL filled, uniform grid). Portrait layout taller than wide (3:4). Side-view pixel-art platformer ENEMY BOSS / elite encounter. Character: ELITE BOSS Ribcage Tail scorpion: sand chitin with bone-silk ribcage-segmented tail, hero prop = ribcage-segment curved tail tip — unmistakable silhouette. FAMILY LOCK: this is a SCORPION — sand chitin, bone spurs, gold-tan. Never drone coils, never ice primary, never translucent slime gel, never cloth sails as body. BOSS PRESENCE: large readable clawed silhouette, heavy chitin weight — elite Keep boss. ONE locked identity in EVERY cell. FX: cyan/white/amber sand sparks ONLY — never magenta/pink glow (matte atlas color). CRITICAL FRAMING: silhouette ~50% of cell height with HUGE empty MAGENTA #FF00FF margins — especially ABOVE raised tail, pincer claws, bone spikes, and jump apex (never touch or flatten against the top cell edge; leave deep headroom so tops never clip). Each of the 8 rows is a CLEAR DISTINCT anim cycle with scorpion motion — NOT frozen duplicate poses, NOT rigid whole-sprite rotate-in-place, NOT blank/empty cells. EVERY cell must contain the full scorpion figure. Motion OK inside cell; never cross magenta grid lines. Complete limbs/tail/pincers in cell. Feet low when grounded. Rows: (1) idle claw-breathe (2) walk scuttle-cycle (3) attack pincer strike (4) jump apex with headroom (5) special ribcage tail swipe (6) hurt recoil (7) death collapse (8) enrage surge. Face RIGHT. Solid MAGENTA #FF00FF between cells. No text, no UI. Style B readable silhouette. AVOID: drone coils, ice primary, slime gel, tiny toy bug, planted freeze, A/B stitch, 4-column grids, touching top edge, blank cells.
