It’s a regular dragon appearing in the series.
@Starswirl
Correction: that’s a classic medieval dragon
@Derpy Whooves
Thank you both.
That is an actual dragon.
Okay?
That dragon disguise was meant to look ridiculous and fake, now we‘re at the point were actual dragons look like that.
Well in the off-chance you come back, i don’t think it’s about being drawn right as much as it is about being designed impressively.
Where things like making sure that fantasy characters are drawn “right” for a cartoon is concerned, there really is only one lesson.
It’s pretty universal. For me, it works for lots of stuff like this.
I’d love to chat about it more, but someone else desperately needs my attention about something that seems super important to them, so I must focus on that for a bit. Might be a while.
Wasn’t Crackle a deliberately silly looking dragon we haven’t seen anything comparable to, used for a momentary gag?
What lesson was supposed to be learned?
Yet the lesson wasn’t learned.
That’s already been posted.

One of those ones that remind me of a HTTYD design.
Not to mention chubbier characters can be a bit more difficult to animate compared to slimmer ones at times.
They’re Flash Animation. You save on work by reusing the same model. That’s why many background ponies are clones of each other. Any unusual design requires additional work. It’s literally the opposite of what you said, I’m afraid.
Yup. There is nothing good that will come of the episode.
Yeah, it’s about 5 hours away and the tags “spoiler:s08e24” and “Father Knows Beast” haven’t been connected yet.
That’s today’s episode? I didn’t even know that. I thought we were getting a different one today.
Well, we’re going to find out in just a few hours.
I don’t care about the ages of the dragons. The point I (and Starswirl) are trying to make is these types of dragons aren’t a new occurance.
I honestly think Garble’s design is both goofy and ugly and is a poor example of a badass looking dragon. I never really got a serious or sleek vibe like I did with Ember and Smolder because I think his head and snout shape look really off.
This new character is implied to be his father. He may very well not be his dad.
I’m not trying to convince ponies to like it. I’m merely pointing out that “goofy” dragon designs aren’t new, nor would it be strange for Spike’s relative to have one.
