This character originated from the AncientBeast project -- I downloaded the textured model and rigged/animated him. He becomes a henchman in the latest scene of my film Giants of the Earth. Included is a run cycle

This is pretty neat. I'd add a pole target to the tail and hide it; this will keep the tail from popping the IK to the opposite side with extreme stretch. In my modified file, I put the bone about half a BU off the ground plane and behind the tail. The deformations look pretty darn good, too. I'm excited to do some test animation with it.
