<p>No, Blender does animation as well. Here's an example of a spider animated with it:
<div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j0dRP82EzLY?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>However rigging and animating a realistic octopod is not exactly the kind of project you'd start with as a newbie. There's a lot to learn.</p>
