How would I make a companion NPC model attach itself to the player similar to anime fighting simulator?

Hello, I would like some guidance on where to begin with making something similar to this:

I attempted it, kind of, by parenting the NPC to the player’s character but glitches occurred–my head transferring to the NPC or getting stuck within its body (no where near the effect of the video).

I believe it requires actual code to accomplish and not as simple as parenting it the char, any help would be appreciated

You could weld the NPC to the character in the position you want

Here is what I have so far:

code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")

local Dummy = ServerStorage.Dummy

local function CloneCharacter(plr)
	local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	Char.Archivable = true

	Weld.Parent = Char.HumanoidRootPart

	Weld.Part0=Char.HumanoidRootPart
	Weld.Part1=Dummy.PrimaryPart
	Dummy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-5))
	Dummy.Parent = workspace
	local CloneAnimation = ReplicatedStorage.Animate:Clone()
	CloneAnimation.Parent = Dummy

end


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	CloneCharacter(plr)
end)

The npc model remains inside the character for whatever reason when welding and setting cframe. I can atleast move my character unlike other attempts

EDIT: NPC is moved but my player character is signicantly hindered as if the npc is weighing it down (i also put massless true, though not sure if it helps)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")

local Dummy = ServerStorage.Dummy

local function CloneCharacter(plr)
	local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	Char.Archivable = true

	Weld.Parent = Char.HumanoidRootPart

	Weld.Part0=Char.HumanoidRootPart
	Weld.Part1=Dummy.PrimaryPart
	Weld.C1=CFrame.new(3,0,-2)
	Dummy.Parent = workspace
	local CloneAnimation = ReplicatedStorage.Animate:Clone()
	CloneAnimation.Parent = Dummy



end


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	CloneCharacter(plr)
end)

Solved, thanks to @AjaxTiba

I removed the humanoid and it works, I wonder how to animate it without humanoid but i suppose I will figure it out.
