User's notes
The second image shows the Hopper's underside with its long black spikey legs used for jumping drawn up beneath it. The legs go full length from the rear end to the head end where there are joints and the legs then go back to the centre of the body. These two legs can usually be seen trailing behind hoppers as they walk around but in this case are drawn up under the body just before the Hopper jumped away.
