I know nothing about CGI. BUT.
If it's an animal, it's some sort of mollusk or echinoderm. Actually my first thought was "nudibranch" but it's clearly not, I've never seen a
flatworm like that. Sea cucumber though... they don't usually move on land. Neither do most mollusks of that form. It looks like it had suction cups,
which would mean mollusk. Sea cucumbers are able to spit out their innards as a defense mechanism.
Um... Japan does have strange marine zoology.
Give me a minute or two.
Okay. I think it's fake. Just because of how it survived out of water, because it didn't flip itself back over, and because I think it was the same
sort of thing that happens when kids make volcanos for school, when they spilled soda on it. How did they know to wait until it spit stuff out?
If it was an animal, however, this is how you narrow it down:
Assuming it was marine, you would look at any special features. The innards coming out is reminiscent of sea cucumbers.
It seemed to have suction cups. That would classify it as a mollusk. (Sea cucumbers are echinoderms, so you would know something was weird
already).
The little ruffle of "tissue" at the bottom is like a nudibranch.
It also looks a bit like some cnidarians.
But most of these animals would not be able to survive out of water for very long, and either would have turned themselves over or would have
"jellified" and collapsed, not stayed rigid like that.
But um... I mean, whatever. Some people like doing things like that.
