Imagine a baby playing with the most powerful physics.
The orb in the middle of singu will now respond to enemy attacks, bouncing away from the impact and springing back towards the center. When it gets pushed close enough to the arms, the ball shrinks to avoid egregious model clipping. The y-axis jiggle is randomly generated, because the engine does not pass the vertical component of the impulse vector. As the Singu scales from 100% to 20% HP, the spring dampening, or resistance to permanently jiggling, decreases, so a near-death Singu has a much more noticeable jiggle for longer.
I've tested this with about 12% of the unit roster, and the animation seems sane and fun about 99% of the time.
