Free Pixel Art Creature & Enemy Sprites
Small critters and enemies, each with one looping animation: a flapping bat, a bouncing slime, a floating ghost, a hovering bee, a swimming fish, a flying bird, a spider on its thread and a walking beetle.
All original designs. Side-on creatures face right — flip them to turn around — and the 16 px versions are drawn for that size, not shrunk, so they read as classic small enemies.
8 animated assets at 16 and 32 px. Download the whole pack (.zip, 91 KB).
