Hello,
do animations play on client or server?
Can I play an animation on a client’s character, and then expect it to replicate to server?

animations replicate meaning that if you play it on the client then it will replicate to the server as well

it talks about this in this link here: Animator

omg everything makes sense now
originally I thought all animations needed to be replicated from server to client and I got so confused O_o

Note: Only animations related to player’s humanoid will replicate, otherwise you should use animations on server for replication.

my situation is: I have a spear animation with the dummy. I animate the humanoid and spear together, will it replicate to server if I fire the animation with the spear on the client side?
