Idle poses (sometimes referred to as idle animations) is a pose that the character will do if the character doesn't move, attacks, or gets attacked. Idle poses can sometimes be a taunt too, like Sonic's idle pose, where he puts one of his hands on his waist and look at the camera with a waiting pose.
