Advanced Creature Bionics: Our Partnership with Creature Bionics Co.

Who Are These Products Suitable For?

These rigs are designed for creature performers, film productions, motion capture studios and creators building immersive fantasy characters. By physically transforming the performer’s proportions, Digilegs systems allow actors to move naturally while maintaining a convincing creature silhouette.

They are also extremely valuable for VFX teams as a real-world reference tool, allowing directors and artists to capture authentic movement patterns before digital enhancements are applied in post-production.

The Collaboration: Three Signature Builds

Working alongside Creature Bionics founder and creature performer Ace Ruele, the Digilegs team developed three core systems designed specifically for creature performance. Each piece of equipment is engineered around real-world movement and performer safety.

Monster Legs Reverse-leg stilts designed to create a digitigrade creature stance. These rigs transform the performer’s silhouette while maintaining stability and controlled movement for film and performance environments.

Monster Feet The lightest option in our Digitigrade stilt range, designed for performers who don’t require dramatic lower-leg elongation. They offer increased agility and speed while maintaining full control of movement and preserving a natural digitigrade silhouette.

Arm Extensions Lightweight arm extension rigs that exaggerate limb proportions and allow performers to embody larger-than-life creatures while maintaining expressive movement.

Ace Ruele Founder of Creature Bionics and professional creature performer whose expertise helped shape the performance-focused design of these rigs.

How The Collaboration Works

Digilegs focuses on the engineering and manufacturing of wearable creature systems, ensuring each rig is durable, safe and capable of supporting the physical demands of performance.

Creature Bionics contributes performer training, creature movement development and on-set expertise, helping productions achieve authentic creature performances.

Together the partnership bridges the gap between mechanical rig design and believable creature acting, allowing productions to combine practical effects with digital enhancement for a more convincing final result.
