duck

A quick downward crouch to get under something or avoid a swing — fast and low, then it can hold. A single pose + root.y dip.

How

• Single pose + root: bend the knees (UpLeg:[40,0,0],Leg:[60,0,0] both), fold the torso forward (Spine:[30,0,0],Chest:[20,0,0]), tuck the head (Head:[25,0,0]), and dip root.y ~-0.3 so the feet stay grounded.
• Make it snappy: short durationMs ~400–600. No moveTo.

Example

• "duck!" -> {"durationMs":450,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[40,0,0],"LeftLeg":[60,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[40,0,0],"RightLeg":[60,0,0],"Spine":[30,0,0],"Chest":[20,0,0],"Head":[25,0,0]},"root":{"y":-0.3},"say":"Duck!"}
