1. Animation 4 Could be a bit more fluent but I like it. The bit with the eyes in the shell is cute.
2. Size (if you don’t own Oasian, please check a friend’s park) 4 A reasonable size.
3. Price (12,500 Spice) 1 I'm glad the most expensive unbreedable was the one with high Co-Op odds, but this is still not a good price for an unbreedable, especially in an event with such horribly expensive dragons. Since there is a still a chance that a player wouldn't manage to breed an unbreedable with good cloning odds (due to bad luck or too many other dragons they want to clone) I think unbreedables with good cloning odds should definitely not cost any more than 11k EC (even that is pushing it, especially if the other dragons in an event are expensive.)
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event 5 Especially since it's in the Oasis category!
5. Design details 4 While it's a funny concept, there isn't an explanation for why the oasis is formed like a cauldron, although I appreciate that the cauldron shape becomes less obvious in the adult stage. The original looked friendlier, which is probably part of the reason why I prefer it overall, though I think I prefer the colour scheme of the in-game version, even if the colours are a little too dark for a sand/water themed dragon. Other than that, the in-game Oasian is a cool design. I personally preferred the more organic feel of the original (which in my opinion was somewhat lost by the addition of the cauldron) but I like this one too. I also really like how this design is complex while not being so complex that it becomes cluttered. In general, DECA seems to have been finding a really good balance of the two, and much more regularly than they may have done in the past.
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO) 2.5 It gets a point for Mylio being easy to breed and for being somewhat related due to association with water (although I prefer it when dragons that aren't already required during the same event are used), and another half a point for the fact that (barring the any-four-elements dragons) there aren't too many long fail times, but while Honuhonu is better related, it isn't great to breed and requires an epic. Something incorporating Snapper (as an easier replacement for Honuhonu) + Sand/Shadow/Tidepool/Lagoon/water element would have been perfect for this dragon - Snapper + Shadow/Tidepool/water element (only three elements total) would have been great considering how many any-four-element dragons are available during Paradise events. If DECA didn't want to make the combo too easy, they could have used Snapper + sun element and made Oasian epic.
7. How much do you like Oasian (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 4 I like the concept and design, though the combo could have been better chosen.
Comments: Please stop making dragons unreasonably expensive. When events are longer, there are more new releases, so making the new releases expensive isn't fair as the total is way too large; when events have fewer dragons, there's less time to earn EC, so while the total price would be smaller, there's less time to earn that amount. My point being, there is never a good reason to make dragons ridiculously expensive. Especially since events are constantly growing (there were even 10 returning dragons added to Dunes of Magic that weren't in Pirates in Paradise II), so overall EC price is just going to keep growing and growing. Yes, DragonVale is at heart a dragon breeding game not a dragon buying game; but the prices still need to be reasonable, given this is a game of luck, and especially for casual players who don't have the required parents and don't play regularly enough to pay the obscenely high prices.

I am honored, and elated, to (finally) see one of my designs in the game. I was also surprised, since my entry was not a winner, although no desert is complete without an oasis.
Alas, here's my rate a dragon:
Animation: 5/5 He is so silly. Especially when it tucks in his head. For the baby, I am curious why the water does not spill everywhere when he flips upside down.
Size: 5/5 Perfect! Not too big nor not too small. It's pretty rare to get the size right with me as I am a verrryyy picky person when it comes to size.
Price: 1/5 No matter the dragon, 12.5k is WAY too pricey. At least I am honored to receive a dragon so I do not have to spend a week's worth of EC. Luckily it is a rare dragon so its co-op odds are high.
Theme: 5/5 You cannot have a desert without the oasis. Water-bearer Oasian makes it so that the oasis is portable, making it easy for Wizards and creatures in the desert.
Design: 5/5 I do enjoy the modifications you made to the original design. A turtle shell makes it feel a lot more complete. It might look like a cauldron although I am assured it is a stone shell and not a portable pot.
Combo: 2/5 This is the only part of the dragon which I dislike. Honuhonu is a relevant choice, although it is rather difficult to breed. Mylio, however, I just do not understand. I would have preferred an elemental combo like my original design, or something along the lines of SNAPPER + LAGOON. It is both fitting and more relavant.
Preference: 5/5 You already know why. If I could rate it higher, I would, although rules are rules and the max is 5.
Notes: I feel like Oasian should have the Earth element. Similarily, I feel like Dark does not fit him well, although I know it is there due to Mylio being a parent. I also enjoy seeing how slow it is, since being a turtle, and carrying that much water can really slow you down.
I plan to fill a whole island with them
Also, although I rarely login to the platform anymore, I have not received my Swagon tag on Discord yet.

The Original One is in all things. The Original One is nowhere at all. From all creations, over all creations, does Arceus watch over all.
1. Animation 5/5. very full of life and character, and an excellent way to animate a turtle dragon. the only issue i have is with the head retreating into the shell, the eyes seem to shift position on its head to point forwards instead of to the side.
2. Size (if you don’t own Oasian, please check a friend’s park) 5/5. not a whole lot to say
3. Price (12,500 Spice) 1/5. too expensive for a starting dragon.
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event 5/5. the dragons for this event have been very good about sticking to the theme.
5. Design details 5/5. while this isn't my favourite of the three community submitted dragons in their original art, it's the one i believe got off the best in the transition to the game, and the only one to actually look better than the original concept. no offense to the artist, of course, but i think the changes were for the better.
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO) 1/5. as stated by the artist themselves, mylio makes absolutely no sense and seems to just be artificial difficulty. honuhonu + snapper/lagoon would have made much more sense.
7. How much do you like Oasian (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 5/5. while acquiring it outside of coop is pretty bad, the dragon itself is great.

I will admit that I do think the changes did improve the design as a whole. My original concept was basic and just felt as if it was missing something. Apparently that something were some scales and a turtle shell.

1. Animation: 5/5 I cannot get over how cute the dragon is in the animation. He's so different moving around like that, and has so much more personality than when you just see him still. Fantastic job!
2. Size (if you don’t own Oasian, please check a friend’s park): 5/5
3. Price (12,500 Spice): 4/5
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event: 5/5
5. Design details: 5/5 The details on this dragon are some of the best I've seen. I absolutely love the scales, the little wings, the shell, everything!
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO): 2/5, I get Honuhonu, but not Mylio. I think HonuHonu + Pharaoh would have been perfect.
7. How much do you like Oasian (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) : 5/5 Absolutely love it!
Comments / feedback for Deca: I love these design contests, they bring some really interesting ideas. Your team really does a great job bringing the ideas to life. This dragon is precious and I can't wait to have him in my park.

1. Animation 5/5, love the animations, they add a lot to the dragon's personality
2. Size (if you don’t own Oasian, please check a friend’s park) 5/5
3. Price (12,500 Spice) 2/5
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event 5/5
5. Design details 5/5, turtle dragon real let's goooo
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO) 3/5, honuhonu as a requirement is fine, but why mylio?? Should have been either honuhonu x oaris or honuhonu x earth element
7. How much do you like Oasian (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 5/5
Comments / feedback for Deca Turtle dragons are awesome and this also being a swagon adds to my liking for it, no disrespect to the artist but the in game design looks much better than the original submission
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event : 5
5. Design details : 5
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO) : 4
7. How much do you like Oasian : 4.5
Comments / feedback for Deca : Great animations – very turtle like. The breeding combo was begging to have Snapper included as a parent. Snapper + Limulimu would have given the same elements and also used an event dragon. Too expensive for a non-breedable dragon. Perfect fit in the event – an oasis would always be welcome in the desert. Great interpretation of the original design. Looking forward to seeing Oasian with a trait.
Congratulations again Arceus for having your dragon included in the game.
1. 4/5 Fun, cute animation. 2. 4/5 A little big. 3. 2/5 Way too expensive for a starter dragon. 4. 5/5 A perfect fit. 5. 5/5 Clever design. 6. 1/5 Honestly don’t get this combo at all. Neither parent makes sense to me. Agree with MinyaZ Snapper & Limulimu would’ve been perfect. 7. 4/5 Not my favourite but good enough.
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event: 5
5. Design details: 5
6. How would you rate Oasian’s breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO): 2, I really don’t get the association. Honuhonu is not too easy to breed.
7. How much do you like Oasian: 5
Comments / feedback for Deca: I think it is a very nice adaptation of the original design by Demuncher! I kind of fancy it to be a hidden dragon, when it retrieves its head and limbs to become an oasis. 😉
4. How well does Oasian fit the theme of the event 5/5

Comments / feedback for Deca ladyj i agree with your comment! i can visualize Oasian settling down into a sandy dune, pulling in head, legs, and tail and voila ... oasis! Perfect hidden dragon. Happily, the scales and shell that DECA added complimented and enhanced the original design.
1. Animation: 3/5 2. Size: 5/5 3. Price: 4/5 4. Theme: 5/5 5. Design details: 4/5 6. Breeding combo (HONUHONU + MYLIO): 3/5 7. How much do you like Oasian: 5/5
Comments: The eyes inside the shell are a cute addition. Weird, but cute. The adult putting various body parts inside the shell is ok. I think it could have been more creative though. Maybe something involving the water. The baby flipping over is cute. Again, some water animation would have been nice. Great size though! The price is ok since he's 10% co-op odds anyway. A little pricey overall though since we're getting five limiteds. Thanks for making the 10% co-op odds one the highest price of the three. Oasian has a beautifully drawn face. The eye is really nice on the adult. The wings are well designed too. The whole dragon is so crisp! Tortoise makes sense. It almost feels too expected though and is definitely a little toooo 'just a tortoise with wings'. I'm not dumping on it. It's beautifully drawn. But a few more dragon features would be nice. Oasis had a rippling sail down its back. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be water, but it could have been left in. With water trait, that would have looked so cool- like cascading water! I appreciate that Deca incorporated the diamond design into the scales and shell. As far as future breeding goes, Mylio is so far out there. Honuhonu is also an ocean dweller. So from those two deep sea animals, we get a tortoise? Snapper + Shimmer/Lagoon/Nectar/Limu would have worked and made much more sense. Plus, getting traited Honuhonu is the definition of pain.
And finally, this isn't for Deca - Demuncher - CONGRATS again! I'm so happy for you!
