Walk cycle for a character like Footy in the example characters

Question

I have a character that I'm trying to rig to walk but I can't figure it out. I've followed tutorials and have gotten other characters to walk fine. What I'm dealing with is pretty much a quarter view of a character like Footy. It has no torso and is a head with limbs. I assume it's possible but I havent seen a character like this walk.

I cannot see any handles or tags from the screenshot. It is important to have sufficient handles for it to know where the head and body are, the hips and waist, the neck and head, etc. I think I recall if there are not enough tags, it just gives up.

In the "Walk" behavior, there is a "View" section and "Handles" section in the properties panel. This shows you the layers it has bound to. If no waist, then that is a problem for leg movements. If no neck, I think it will not find the shoulders, elbows, and arms. Something like that. So I realize there is no real body - so just fake it putting some handles low on the body for pretend waist and hips, and neck and shoulders a bit above it, then head above the neck.
