Deca Games has developed a series of questions to gather feedback from players regarding their new event dragons. To capture an accurate account of players’ assessments, Rate a Dragon threads are created for each new dragon. These threads will be available approximately one to four weeks after a dragon’s release to allow players some time to breed the dragon and admire its fine qualities.
Since Deca asked players to rate their dragons and provided questions for the categories they would like to receive feedback on, please keep all comments related to the dragon. Opinions and suggestions about the selection process Deca utilises to add player-designed dragons into the game, requests to include or exclude a player’s dragons from the game, and other off-topic comments will not be passed on to Deca. In addition, excessively rude, graphic, or offensive remarks will not be relayed and could result in a ban. Criticism is certainly welcomed, but try to keep it constructive and relevant to the dragon.
The Rate a Dragon threads will remain unlocked until the event concludes on May 8th. At the end of the event, your ratings and comments will be passed on to the Deca DragonVale Team.
Please take a minute to rate the Bountiful Picnic dragons from 1-5 for each category. You can either post your feedback on this thread or message me. Thank you for participating, sharing your thoughts, and making this game even better with each dragon.

Please rate the Barkskin dragon on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = worst, 5 = best). If a rating below 1 or above 5 is given, or if more than one number is provided, the rating will not count.

4. Rate Barkskin’s price (16,500 Eggs)
5. How well does Barkskin fit the theme of the event

The post below is a template you can copy/paste into your reply so it’s easier to rate the dragon. Please be sure to use the template assigned to the dragon, as the questions may vary.

1. Animation - 5
2. Rift trait - 4
3. Size (if you don’t own Barkskin, please check a friend’s park) - 3.5
4. Price (16,500 Eggs) - 1 - I’m disappointed but not surprised at this point
5. How well does Barkskin fit the theme of the event - 3
6. Rate Barkskin’s design - 4.5
7. How would you rate Barkskin’s breeding combo (NIAMH + WOODVINE) - 4 - Niamh has incredibly low odds but other than that this is a good combo
8. How much do you like Barkskin (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) - 4.5
Comments/feedback for Deca: While it does fit the dragon somewhat, I feel like this dragon was made Seasonal, despite neither of its parents being epic, purely to have an excuse to give it low cloning odds, which just emphasises the fact Deca has created this needless rule that epics must have low Co-Op cloning odds. Please stop this previously inconsistent rule.

Comments:
First off, I just want to comment on this dragon's info. Obviously, I don't know what was involved in his creation, but that last sentence hit me in the feels. I hope everybody is ok out there.
Of any dragon, I think this one really looks like it was spawned from its parents. Niamh and Woodvine are just perfect to produce Barkskin. The only downside to that is that Barkskin doesn't feel particularly original.
The animation when his antler falls off and he jumps back in astonishment is very cute (love the jaw movement). I like the shape and whippiness of his tail and the overall silhouette. I also really like his beakish mouth. I'm not sure why he has to pause and think so hard for his back foliage to grow. It's his walking animation that bothers me more than normal though. His feet slide across the ground and he doesn't move forward as much as he should given how hard he's working. He looks like he's walking on a very slick surface.
The traiting is fine. Given all those leafy scales, I'd have thought it wouldn't be in the belly.
Thematically, this is a spring dragon, but for a picnic, he doesn't fit. Except... in his baby form. Baby Barkskin looks almost caterpillar-like to me. I doubt that was the plan, especially since it doesn't wiggle or slide, but that's now my brain sees it.
The egg is really pretty. It isn't overdesigned, almost to the point of not looking like it matches the dragon. But that's ok! I prefer it this way.
1. 5/5 Fun animation 2. 5/5 The perfect amount & now I’m even more annoyed I didn’t manage a rift breed 3. 5/5 A good size 4. 3/5 Not a good price 5. 5/5 A perfect fit 6. 5/5 It’s very much of its parents so a bit deja vu but a good design 7. 5/5 It absolutely had to be this combination 8. 4/5 Despite the great scores it’s a little bit so so for me
3. Size (if you don’t own Barkskin, please check a friend’s park) 3/5
4. Price (16,500 Eggs) 3/5
5. How well does Barkskin fit the theme of the event
5/5 6. Rate Barkskin’s design
5/5 7. How would you rate Barkskin’s breeding combo (NIAMH + WOODVINE) 4/5
8. How much do you like Barkskin (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 4/5 biggest problem is the size i need a magnifying glass to be able to see it, otherwise this one's my pick for event favorite
5. How well does Barkskin fit the theme of the event : 5
6. Rate Barkskin’s design : 5
7. How would you rate Barkskin’s breeding combo (NIAMH + WOODVINE) : 4
8. How much do you like Barkskin : 4
Comments/feedback for Deca : Nice animation, I like the apparent surprise when the antler falls off. Woodvine is a great parent and while Niamh looks like a good parent Niamh’s breeding odds are too low and makes it a difficult breed. A solid addition to the game.
5. How well does Barkskin fit the theme of the event: 5
6. Rate Barkskin’s design: 5
7. How would you rate Barkskin’s breeding combo (NIAMH + WOODVINE): 4, Niamh is a bit hard to breed if you don’t own it already
8. How much do you like Barkskin: 5
Comments/feedback for Deca: Its colors are beautiful. For it being a seasonal dragon, it would be nice if the colors are a bit more “springy”, like a more vibrant green, and maybe some more noticeable yellow on its back..I love its back story of keeping memories evergreen. 🥰
