There are a couple minor improvements to this latest instalment:
1. A new rating category 'How Much Do You Like This Dragon' has been added. There was a problem with the previous rating system, since there was no place for members to express how much they liked or disliked a dragon. As a result, players would rate a dragon lower for categories such as Rift Trait or Size, if they didn’t like it, even though they thought the trait and size were fine. This is completely understandable, because nobody wants a dragon to score a high rating if they find it loathsome. Hopefully, this new category will resolve the issue.
Keep in mind, giving a dragon a low rating for Size because you don’t care for it, will not tell Deca that players didn’t like the dragon. It will only show that players didn’t like the size — that’s it. For every dragon, I calculate the average rating of each category. The averages are submitted to Deca. So the only way to convey how much you like/dislike a dragon is through your rating in the new 'How Much Do You Like This Dragon' category and by providing a comment.
2. If you copy/paste the post with the rating questions, please be aware the questions are different for breedable (limited) dragons and unbreedable (event market) dragons. Members are not asked to rate the Rift trait for unbreedable dragons. With the previous ratings, some members copied/pasted the same set of questions for all the dragons. As a result, they missed rating the Rift trait for the limiteds.

The Jolly Roger Dragon flag will unfurl on your profile forever if you completed all the Rate a Dragon threads for the Pirates of Paradise before the event concludes on 4 August.

Please rate the Gawk dragon on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 = worst, 5 = best.
1. Rate Gawk’s animation quality
2. How would you rate Gawk’s Rift trait placement and look (the lightning trait is showing in the above video)
3. Please rate Gawk’s size (you may want to check how his size compares to other dragons in your park; if you don’t own the dragon check a friend’s park)
4. Rate Gawk’s price (12,500 Doubloons)
5. How well does Gawk fit the theme of the event?
6. Rate the attention to detail in Gawk’s design
7. How much do you like Gawk? (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!)

1. I guess it's expected for a pirate parrot, but I would like it to see it laughing or chatter in an angry tone. 2.5/5
2. Didn't expect it to only apply on certain small spots. And slightly on the plumage. 4/5
3. Not too big, but should have been smaller. 2.5/5
4. Yeah it's epic, but it's still too expensive like all limited Event Dragons. 3/5
5. The pirate parrot. Enough said.
6. Thought it should have been red all over until I found out what it's also inspired by. Still too colorful. 3/5
7. Sorry, not really a fan. It looks too much like a parrot with little efforts to add dragon parts to it. At least fellow parrot dragon, Party, got some oomph to the dragon-y design. 2/5
1: 4 2: 5 3: 5 4: 5 5: 5 6: 5 7: 5 8. The colors are too chaotic, and the egg isn't as beautiful as many of the recent ones, but he's still charming. Too bad his "dragon breath" isn't *&!#@&* since a lot of parrots supposedly pick up and repeat very foul language.
Gawk 1. 3/5 It doesn’t do very much. Is it dancing? Looks a bit awkward. Or gawkward if you will..! 2. 5/5 Just the right amount of traity bits. 3. 5/5 Perfectly sized. 4. 4/5 Could be a bit cheeper. Sorry, cheaper. 5. 5/5 Fits right in. 6. 5/5 Fabulous design; love the colours, love the eyepatch. 7. 5/5 Could be a bit more animated but it’s so colourful, looks great in the rift & just the right size. Oh & it’s got an eyepatch!
1. 3 2. 5 3. 2 4. 3.5 5. 5 6. 5 7. 4 8. I think this is a fantastic addition to the event. I like the eye patch. That is a nice touch. I think it is too big considering it as a pirate’s parrot. I like the name.
1. Animation: 4 2. Rift trait: 3 if it wasn’t flashing, I would not have noticed 3. Size: 4 4. Cost: 4 little expensive 5. Theme: 5 6. Attention to detail: 5 7. Likability: 4 8. Extras: lots of color and adding the bird of paradise flower
4/5 Fine. Nothing awkward going on, gliding is good enough as a special animation
2. How would you rate Gawk’s Rift trait placement and look (the lightning trait is showing in the above video) 5/5
3. Please rate Gawk’s size (you may want to check how his size compares to other dragons in your park; if you don’t own the dragon check a friend’s park) It's on the small side, but it should be even smaller. 3.5/5
4. Rate Gawk’s price (12,500 Doubloons) 5/5
5. How well does Gawk fit the theme of the event? 5/5
6. Rate the attention to detail in Gawk’s design 4/5
7. How much do you like Gawk? (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 4/5.
8. Add any additional comments or feedback (OPTIONAL). The design is good and makes sense, but I don't know how to feel about a pure bird dragon. I would have preferred some details that are 100% dragon, like horns.
1. Animation: 2 Being a parrot, I'd expect it to have more parrot-like mannerisms like the characteristic head bob or very rapidly-flapping flight. 2. 5 3. 5 4. 3 Overpriced. 5. 5 6. 3 7. 4 Fun in a Backflip-y way. 8. I don't really like it when dragons get accessories. The implication that all Gawk dragons just kinda happen to have an eyepatch makes it feel more like a character than a creature, which isn't something I prefer.

1. 3, very basic and no real "flair" to any of the animations except flight, but not necessarily "bad." 2. 5, feels like the right amount of trait for this dragon; distinct but not overbearing. 3. 4, seems mid-sized, nothing of note there, would make a bit bigger myself. 4. 3, I have nothing to say about this. 5. 4, it's almost there but looks too "wild" for being a pirate parrot; not a fan of the blue in particular. 6. 3, nothing to complain about but no particularly "good" details either. 7. 1, seems harsh I know but honestly this feels like one of the most forgettable dragons in the game. it just doesn't have any real "thing" that lets it stand out, and in a game of 600+ dragons that's both unfortunate and inevitable.
1: Animation 5/5 2: Rift placement 5/5 3: Size 5/5 4: Price 3/5 5: Theme fitting 5/5 6: Detail 4/5 7: How much I like it 2/5 8: To be honest it just feels like a parrot, and I don’t really like when dragons have human things on them (eyepatch for example)
