1. Animation looks great; some really unique bits in there from the original entry's animation. 4/5
2. Size is fine too, the smaller dragons are much needed what with the large pirate dragons from the last event. 4/5
3. A bit pricey, but at least it has a better cloning chance. 3/5
4. The theme of this event appears to be a variety of dragon designs, possibly with a "wild" feel? So glad that DECA took this wild animal approach, as long as they stay wild animals and not humanoid abominations. So theme-wise, this dragon could definitely be viewed as a wild animal. 5/5
5. I LOVE the skeleton that's partially viewable inside of the dragon. It really fits the cold/water elements. 5/5
6. I really like this dragon! So glad to finally get another golden hybrid, and this dragon's design is top-notch. Also love the reference to Aperture Games, which connects with the dragon's original name, Portal. 5/5
7. Really excited to see where this event (and future events) will go. Thanks for taking the game into this more organic / "wild" route. Yarr really disappointed me last time so this event is a HUGE step up.

1. Looks perfect. Very smooth. Reminds me of Comet and Iden when it moves. 5/5
2. Just right for a Golden. 5/5
3. Why is it even more expensive than the previous event dragons?! It’s just a Golden Hybrid for crying out loud. Clone chance maybe high, but I’m not wasting my co-op just for a so-called rare Golden I will (annoyingly) get in the future. 0.5/5
4. I don’t think it fits well. 1/5
5. Very liquidy. Nice. I love the fluency of the Portal Dragon too. 5/5
6. Didn’t really care. 3/5
7. Doesn’t feel like it should be just an ordinary Golden, NGL.
APERTURE DRAGON 1. Animation - 5 - portal hopping is good 2. Size - 4 - big enough to see it 3. Price - 3 about average 4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? - 2 - portals in camping? 5. Design details - 4 - pretty dragon 6. How much do you like Aperture? - 4 - I like it 7. Comments/feedback for Deca (optional)
Aperture 1. 5/5 Gracefully lives up to its name. 2. 4/5 Not a fan of large dragons but this could benefit from being slightly bigger. Its lack of colour suits it but it’s easily lost. 3. 3/5 Could be worse. 4. 3/5 I’ll go with ghost story as nightshadow suggests but not really sure. 5. 5/5 Delicate & ethereal. Gorgeous. 6. 5/5 Love it.

APERTURE DRAGON
1. Animation
The animation quality on this one is very good. It has a smooth and stretchy look, the way it moves and flexes while swimming, and I really like that. But what I really, really like is when the portal opens up and drops of water rain down, and then the dragon looks up at them and moves closer, like its trying to take a shower. Or maybe it wants a drink. Seeing it respond to things in its environment makes it look intelligent too. Altogether absolutely beautiful. --- Giving it a score of 5.
2. Size (if you don’t own Aperture, please check a friend’s park)
Its a very long dragon, but its not too big. --- Giving it a score of 4.
3. Price (10,000 Pinecones)
A bit much considering that it'll probably be a regular dragon after the event. I would have preferred something a little cheaper, like 9,300. --- Giving it a score of 3.
4. How well does Aperture fit the theme?
This dragon has an ethereal quality, like a watery spirit. Maybe the spirit of a lake that has some ghost story attached to it. Which is nice when you're camping by a lake and you need a spooky story to tell. So I'm going to assume that's why its here, because it fits if you look at it that way. --- Giving it a score of 3.8.
5. Design details
This dragon is beautiful. It has a translucent quality, looking like some of the fish you see in the deep ocean trenches. --- Giving it a score of 5.
6. How much do you like Aperture?
I fell in love with this dragon from the moment I first laid eyes on it. 💕 Definitely one of my top favorites. --- Giving it a score of 5.

Aperture Dragon 1. Animation - 5 2. Size - 5 3. Price - 4 4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? -2 5. Design details - 3 6. How much I like Aperture - 4 7. Comments/feedback for Deca:
Aperture is very cool, and it's always awesome to have fan-designed dragons, but it doesn't fit the event's theme very well. The closest thing to camping I can liken it to is ghost stories, but even then, it's viewed very scientifically in its description. Aperture could've been released at another time to circumvent that issue.
In terms of details and the changes Deca made from Hourglass Dolphin's Portal Dragon, I feel like it's a bit over-designed. The "spine" is a cool addition, but at certain points it kind of looks like a cluttered mess. I preferred the simple wispiness of the Portal Dragon; the detailed bones make Aperture look more solid than incorporeal. I also don't like Aperture's red outline. It's super small but it also bothers me a lot for some reason. Maybe for contrasting too much. The placements of the spines are an upgrade though.
I really like the animation where the aperture dragon creates a portal to rain on itself.
3. Price (10,000 Pinecones) : 4 Too expensive for the lowest priced event dragon and also a golden hybrid that will probably become permanent after the event
4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? 4 After reading the other comments about being in the wild, ghostly apparitions or a water spirit - maybe it fits with the theme - but not as obvious as some of the other event dragons.
5. Design details : 5
6. How much do you like Aperture? 5
7. Comments/feedback for Deca (optional) I love that the Aperture dragon is fan inspired and has been included into DV.
3. Price (10,000 Pinecones) seems expensive, but unlike others, I think ones that will become permanent hybrids should be expensive to buy, people should be encouraged to breed them instead of buying them. Golden hybrids weren't released as event dragons in the past, but I guess it makes sense now since we've got constant back-to-back events. 5
4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? I don't see any connection, but I don't think of it as a "real" event dragon, just one that happened to be released at the time of an event, so it's a 1 but really more of a n/a for me.
5. Design details are okay, but I also prefer the more wispy, ethereal look in the original design, 4.5
6. How much do you like Aperture? Just because I like the original style better doesn't mean I don't love this one too, 5
7. I love the fan-based designs DECA is putting into the game, they are some of the best ideas and it gives a feeling of solid integration between players and designers (as do these surveys)
2. Size (if you don’t own Aperture, please check a friend’s park) 5/5
3. Price (10,000 Pinecones) 5/5
4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? 2/5 I don’t get how a portal dragon fits with camping.
5. Design details 5/5
6. How much do you like Aperture? 5/5
7. Comments/feedback for Deca (optional) Hourglass Dolphin created an amazing dragon and I really like what DECA did with it. They didn’t have to do too much tho! An animated version was submitted which is incredible. DECA’s animation is perfect, Aperture didn’t go flying off the Dragonarium frame so we couldn’t see it like Lazuli lol.
APERTURE DRAGON 1. Animation 5 2. Size 5 3. Price 5 4. How well does Aperture fit the theme 5 5. Design details 5 6. How much do you like Aperture? 5 7. Comments/feedback for Deca: The name is a great nod to summer camps and camping in general - what a great out-of-the-box idea! Animation and design are spot on. Definitely my favorite dragon (so far) of this event.
1. Animation - 5 2. Size - 5 3. Price - 3 4. How well does Aperture fit the theme? - 3, I kind of can see campfire ghost stories but otherwise this dragon would fit well in a winter event. 5. Design details - 4, love this dragon but the egg is boring. Maybe it would have fit better with the event if it had a different one. 6. How much do you like Aperture? - 5, it's so beautiful!
