Hellfire Undead – Top-Down 8-Direction Character Sprites (HD)

Four HD hellfire undead for top-down games. Hellfire Skeleton, Hellfire Skeleton Thug, Hellfire Undead Warrior and Hellfire Plague Hulk: charred bone and armour split by glowing magma cracks, with heat haze and ash smoke rising off them. Every animation in all 8 directions, 212×226 px, 218×222 px, 238×222 px and 266×286 px frames (plus 128 px copies), and a ash death for every character.

Attacks and a ash death

Blade, club, sword and flail attacks, each in all 8 directions, aimed where the character faces. Every character also has a ash death: the cracks spread and the body burns away into embers behind a glowing edge, ending on empty frames so you can remove the character without a pop. The regular death is in the pack too.

FAQ

Which size should I use? The native size (listed above) or the 128 px copies; pick one scale for your camera.

Do they match the other packs? Yes: the same camera angle, scale and light direction as every character in the series, so the hellfire versions can fight next to the originals.
