opinion on yi qi?

[voidstar13]

i myself am split thought the design would be more feather covered expected a more birdlike concept

I actually like this interpretation tbh, makes it seem like less of just a “cool looking dino” and something I can actually see living on Abb

that's a good take, and a nice perspective on the look made me think about it differently thank you for replying

Personally gonna wait for the official dossier before I solidify my opinion

it does not give aberrant vibs. hopefully they will add some glow to those feather or claws to change that.

A dollar store Rock Drake was a poor choice for the map. That said, an Octopus sounds like the last creature possible that the game needs.

It's very handsome and looks nice, but honestly I think having another glider takes away from the rock drake a lot

its nothing like the actual dossier image that was offered up - looks more like an undersized dodorex or giant dodo either one is wrong for abb it should have been much more streamlined and i am guessing lower to the ground but when in 'shoot' mode it curls tail and spreads wings to balance - the artist that drew this forgot it was for abb imo

I just want to preface this by saying I do like the design of the Yi Ling and the dossier isn't out yet. But based off the original I'm a little bummed out that we didn't a design closer to the original. Again no say it looks bad in the slightest I'm actually fond of it. Just with they didn't make the tail so much smaller.

I like the creature design overall, however like some others have said it really doesn't fit the map and it's underground feel&design (possibly the same reason why Terror birds weren't added). The Rock drake design is really an aberration within Aberration and presents a unique contrast in this environment where the mechanics for loot drops on the surface were designed around it. 

This creature design feels a lot more like it should be a replacement(because it somewhat overlaps) of say the Terror Birds on another Map.  Burrowing creatures or ones able to scale vertical surfaces like the creepy crawly spiders would have been a much better fit for sure. 

Alas, these are the pros and cons of community voting and the result is what it is.
