4 - I love the animation when it shoots the arrow of stars! I was wondering how they would incorporate that aspect of Sagittarius, and making its wings act like the bow was an awesome decision! The animations involving its legs, on the other hand, just seem off, especially the front legs.
2. Rift trait 3 - Not terrible rift trait placement, but there could be more. It would have been so cool if the rift trait affected the wings as well!
3. Size (if you don’t own Sagittarian, please check a friend’s park) 3 - It's quite smaller than most of the other zodiac dragons. It would be appreciated if the dragon was scaled up a bit.
4. Price (14,000 Star Dust) 2 - Way too expensive for a first limited! At least the dragon has a combo that is easy with good odds, which makes the price a bit less worse I guess, but it still isn't good. I usually don't purchase limited dragons, but for those who do, I suggest lowering the price a bit, especially for the first limited that releases.
5. How well does Sagittarian fit the theme of the event 5 - It's a dragon based on a zodiac sign released in an event all about them. It definitely fits the theme of the event.
6. Design details 4 - I love the head of this dragon! It's just so cool and really makes it look like a dragon with horse features instead of a horse with wings. My main concern, however, is the legs. I'm no horse anatomy expert, but those legs look quite off, especially the front legs as I mentioned before. Another problem is that the baby looks more like a shrunken down version of the adult instead of an actual baby. To end this on a positive note, the fiery mane and wings look cool, and the overall color scheme is quite nice.
7. How would you rate Sagittarian’s breeding combo (SERAPH + fire) 5 - A nice, simple combo. I don't believe Seraph is too difficult to breed, and it's quite cheap to purchase in The Astral Spire as well. Design wise, Seraph makes sense to be the parent of Sagittarian in my opinion, especially with its fiery wings.
8. How much do you like Sagittarian (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 5 - Even with all its flaws, I still love this dragon, along with all the other zodiac dragons.

My major suggestion is to have the animators study horse movement to use as future reference when animating horse-like dragons, as this dragon's leg movement is quite off. Everything else I have stated previously, such as scaling the dragon up a bit to match most of the others, lowering prices for future limited dragons that release first, and making baby dragons actually look like babies.

Comments: Welcome back to the DV Gameshow "Guess what this dragon's skeletal anatomy looks like". What's up with those front legs, guys? I also 'suffer' from having watched many arrowing being shot irl. Decent job. Still unsure what that far wing is up to. I like the way he looks up at the orb and his little back foot stampty stamp. Cute. The rift trait was a let down. It would have looked amazing in the wings and down the tail. Size-wise, I don't think he's too small, I suggest some of his buddies are too big. Mine is in with a Leonian and he looks small, but compared to a Virgonian, he looks perfectly fine. Pricing isn't too bad on this one, but knowing more dragons were to come that would inevitably be higher priced, plus the addition of an extra limited, plus plus the lack of ways to make additional event currency makes it feel too high. However, credit to Deca for increasing the co-op odds on the three unbreedables so we had a chance to save that currency. Design Details: He's fine. I like the colour choice. The head is fine, but small, as expected for a Zodiac. Just makes it hard to see. I like the way his back legs are shaped and move. Combo: Thankfully Seraph isn't too difficult of a rift breed. Overall, I'm not in love with this dragon, but it's ok. Deca definitely went in the right direction to ensure the archery shtick worked.

Animation: I love how the stars create an arrow that Sagittarian shoots. The archer is a critical part of the Sagittarius sign. This was a super creative way to include the archer without having a human figure like a centaur.
Rift trait: Some trait on the wings and tail would’ve been a fantastic highlight.
Price: The first new limited shouldn’t be this expensive.
Design details: The joints on the front legs are the wrong way. And the legs are too long. It looks awkward as soon as the front legs move. Horse anatomy would’ve been the perfect model for this dragon.
Breeding combo: DragonVale has horse dragons, like Astraline, but I’m glad Astraline wasn’t added to this event to be a parent. Seraph works with its wings.
The legs are really the only part that doesn’t do this dragon justice. The creativity behind the design and animation are all there, but the legs brought it down.

Comments / feedback for Deca Sagittarian’s front legs look awkward and wrong, it’s distracting in the animation. In the drawing that DECA posted on their page, the legs look correct, it’s too bad that didn’t make it into the game.
