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 Zilla dragon on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 = worst, 5 = best.
1. Rate Zilla’s animation quality
2. Please rate Zilla’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)
3. Rate Zilla’s price (9,750 Doubloons)
4. How well does Zilla fit the theme of the event?
5. Rate the attention to detail in Zilla’s design
6. How much do you like Zilla? (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!)
7. Add any additional comments or feedback (OPTIONAL).
1. Not bad at all, but the part where it dives into the water and reemerges should have been used while it was swimming. Doing it on land doesn't make sense to me. 4/5
2. All the newbies are really big, but at least Zilla is justified because it's name after the discount Godzilla. 5/5
3. Maybe lower them a little bit? They are rares, not epics. 3.5/5
4. Guess it was based on the sea monster pirates encounter? Still epic 5/5
5. Definitely fits the kaijus it was inspired by. The Zilla to Godzilla (and Knifehead)'s Kaiju! 5/5
6. I love it. Might be because I have a fascination for Kaijus. Not biased I swear. 5
Additional Comments: I love Zilla. That's why I went for it first. But why not give it a stronger sound? Crystal's doesn't fit it.

1. Animation: 4 2. Size: 5 3. Cost: 4 4. Theme: 5 5. Attention to detail: 4 6. Likability: 4 7. Would have been cool to have it stomping down a treasure chest or breathing fire
Zilla 1. 5/5 It’s clever, fun & unexpected. Spot on. 2. 3/5 Too big although I understand why. 3. 4/5 Fair price for a brand new dragon. 4. 5/5 Looks like a dragon sea monster crossover to me. Fits right in (well, it would if it wasn’t so big!) 5. 5/5 As above. 6. 3/5 Despite my high ratings, I don’t actually like it much. Did I mention it’s too big!?
1. Animation: 4. I did notice the change in animation between baby and then juvenile/adult but the adult did not fit into the coop pool. It should have been noticed and changed 2. Size: 5. Yes the adult is large, then using the fountain to baby size and he is very small 3. Cost: 4 4. Theme: 5 5. Attention to detail: 3 6. Likability: 4 like the color 7. Extras: I think the animation should have been more stomping or splashing
2. Please rate Zilla’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 It is enormous. But then, maybe it is supposed to be.
3. Rate Zilla’s price (9,750 Doubloons)
5 Seems fair.
4. How well does Zilla fit the theme of the event?
3 I guess it's a Kaiju, and so could be terrorising the Pirates in Paradise. But the name makes me think it should be destroying down town Tokyo.
5. Rate the attention to detail in Zilla’s design
5
6. How much do you like Zilla? (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!)
4
7. Add any additional comments or feedback (OPTIONAL).
Excited to have bred 1 already, so thanks for the cloning %.
1. 3 Zilla is a fine dragon animation-wise - except the diving part! Being a fire/dark dragon, it diving on land is kinda weird. 2. 4 3. 4 A bit over-priced to me, unfortunately. 4. 2 Kaiju and pirates aren't related at all, besides the "generally aquatic" part. I like the sea-monster flair, but it's just not fitting enough to me. 5. 5 6. 3 A fine dragon, but not much else. 7. I feel like Kaiju is enough of a Godzilla dragon; I don't really see a reason for Zilla to exist.

1. 4, overall very basic but the splash animation gets a +1 from me. 2. X, was unable to see size as of writing this. 3. 3, just run-of-the-mill as far as pricing goes. 4. 1, I mean they had to add an anchor on the leg to make it fit better. Otherwise it's just "water dragon/sea monster." 5. 4, they really got the sheen of the skin down. -1 for aforementioned anchor, just feels too forced. 6. 3, I mean it's cool, but...that's kinda it.
