Pretty cool actually how they've looped it

I would say it's metaballs

read that as 'meatballs.' Should have been the technical name imo

You can loop emitters in 3ds Max using Particle Flow. Similar to the methods in this thread:
Looping particle effects?
You could probably do something similar in C4D.

It looks like deformed mesh with custom noise. One for legs and second for wave and blended together where they cross. Or particles. Or both. Definetelly not a fluid sim.
