Animation bug?

[Aërendyll]

Lately I restarted playing Aquaria and I just finished the Energy Temple. I'm in Open Waters to the east, just below the entrance to Kelp Forest. Naija is in Energy Form and has the Nautilus pet with her.

Suddenly there's some weird animation error going on and I'm not sure what causes it. From what I know it came out of nowhere while I was fighting off some enemies.  After it appeared once it kept coming back and I wasn't sure what to do since nothing seemed to work against it.

A screenshot of the error message:



In case it matters: the error messages don't pop up when the menu is opened.

I have a savefile from before the moment the message popped up, but I'm kind of afraid that this error will come back somehow.

I investigated the error some more and I'm 100% sure it's an area-specific error related to the Nautilus Pet (not related to Naija herself).

The area:



I entered the problem area again without changing into energy form even once. Then the error popped up AGAIN. I had the Nautilus Pet out just like last time. When I hid the pet, the error disappeared.

What I think is that the Nautilus Pet and some stuff in the area don't like eachother. Truth is I barely use that pet in the first place since it hardly helps, but since it's the only one I have I keep it out for just that little extra. But guess what - it's animation clashes with the animations in this area.

I can't check other pets, sadly. I have no other ones at the moment and I lost my file where I have like every dungeon and sideboss completed except for The Body and the things after that. 

I'll report back if it shows up in other areas/circumstances.

Just one thing that comes to my mind --> Reinstall.

Can't say much else, seems like either a missing script, a missing file or a corrupt one.

Since it has to do with the Nautilus Pet (or pets in general) and is only happening in that area I just don't use it in that area. But if more errors like these pop up I should consider reïnstalling, yes.

Okay, scratch that. Bug still pops up when in Energy Form without pets and it stays when I switch forms. :/ I couldn't really leave the area as I was ganged upon by nautiluses and moneyes. 

*sighs*

Off to reïnstalling.
