No slashing tropes in lists or chaining links without tropes. Scrappy requires they be hated not just for gameplay reasons.


* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt / SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Everything in the game is very well modelled and overall has much better graphics than its predecessors. Both the environments and animals are very pretty to look at, as are their animations. The graphics are so nice one can even forget this is a mobile app and confuse it for a console game.



* TheScrappy: ''Panthera blytheae'' released to almost unanimous hatred from the playerbase. The biggest kicker was that it was '''Legendary''' rarity, making it the third Legendary nonhybrid behind ''Parasaurolophus lux'' and Rexy; fans were not pleased that a creature with [[UnexpectedCharacter no previous relevance]] [[CanonForeigner to any of the series]] was placed just about on par with essentially the franchise's face. Being a HighTierScrappy in a game already dominated by a very top-heavy imbalance of overpowered creatures only twisted the knife and salted the wound further, as did it getting a hybrid in ''Pantherator'' and subsequently a superhybrid in ''Sah Panthera'', both also utterly dominant in their respective rarities.
** Then not even half a year later, ''Dracovenator'' and ''Ceratosaurus'' both entered the game in the same update, delivering the same agony thricefold. Whereas ''Panthera blytheae'' is only a Legendary, these two are '''''Unique''''', the first Unique non-hybrids, putting them even ''higher'' than Rexy. It absolutely did not help that ''Ceratosaurus'' had long been a requested creature, inexplicably absent from the roster for almost five years, and ''this'' was the way it made its "grand" return. At least ''Dracovenator'' can be found in the wild ([[DamnedByFaintPraise Thank Hammond...]]), but since you're restricted to one successful darting of Draco per week, better pray that you have ''Haast Eagle''-eyed accuracy with those darts.
** The Omega rarity in general. Not only are all of them extremely hard to get and level up[[note]]The extreme rarity of spawning in the wild, as well as the difficulty of darting them; they're often on par if not even harder to dart than an average Unique, but each hit gives much less DNA in comparison[[/note]], but also they're glaringly loathed in Skill Tournaments(especially Common Tournaments), where they have many very powerful abilities and resistances that lower rarities don't. Many players point to Omegas as a blatant display of Ludia and Jam City [[BribingYourWayToVictory trying to pull money from rich players]] at the expense of game playability and balance.

** ''Imperatosuchus'' is probably the hardest Raid boss in the game. It counters every attack with Counter Spike, which buffs its entire team and shatters the shields of its target, and since this buff applies after the effects of Cunning or Nullifying attacks you need to hit it with multiple Cunning attacks to make a debuff stick. It also puts up a shield at the start of the first two rounds to make it and its minions more difficult to take down, and since one of them is ''Majungasaurus'' it'll also counter-attack if it isn't killed. However it's near the end of the second round and the beginning of the third that it gets ludicrously unfair, as it has three massively powerful attacks that can all easily cause a wipe: Infectious Revenge, which decelerates and bleeds the target and can hit the entire team if used in a revenge state, and the third round sees it use Braking Revenge - which is a rampage-strength attack that has ''priority'' if in a revenge state, which it likely will be that attacks the entire team, and the following turn has it follow up with Waning Revenge, another rampage-strength attack that hits the entire team if in a revenge state. Surviving the third round against ''Imperatosuchus'' requires careful cooldown management and teamwork to avoid a TotalPartyKill.

Not only it is a priority move that deals a decent amount of damage but also cleanses and heals the user about twice its damage stat and increases its speed as well.

** Catalysts, enhancements, and Reactive passive abilities were introduced...with no fanfare. Catalysts are formed by sacrificing DNA of lower rarity creatures, and then are spent along with coins and DNA of the enhanced Unique creature to unlock the next enhancement "tier"[[note]]In order: +10% Health, +10% Damage, +2 Speed, a free boost slot, and finally the Reactive ability[[/note]]. On paper it seems like a decent procedure that incentivizes going out and darting, but in practice...the grind is unbearable. See, to be eligible for Catalyst formation, creatures(Common to Legendary) need to be at least Level '''25''', and the Unique to enhance at Level '''30.''' And with high prices associated with enhancement and Catalyst formation, don't be surprised if you find yourself spinning Supply Drops even more than darting. All this for a passive ability that, depending on the creature, could be either absolutely broken or just useless.

** The move "Ready to Crush," coupled with fast, hard-hitting creatures and healers(which are pretty much a necessity to stand up to high-level bosses), can make short work of any boss and its minions while making sure the player's team is consistently at its prime. For context, Ready to Crush increases the team's Damage and Crit chances for two attacks over a span of four turns, and since healing is based on damage, it makes recovering from the powerful attacks the boss can dish out much more efficient.
** Rexy, considered by many to be the best non-hybrid-non-apex creature in the game. Even high in the arenas, it's not uncommon to see her in teams alongside Apexes and Uniques. Much like ''Refrenantem'', she is a '''hard''' counter to flocks, having two attacks, one with priority, that not only deals huge damage, but also rip through flocks' absorb thresholds like they were made of veal. Rexy also has one of the best healing moves, Fierce Devouring Rampage, which deals huge damage and {{LifeDrain}}s a big chunk of health, even moreso than most other LifeDrain attacks in the game.

** ''Lythronax'' has gained a huge cult following since the addition of the ''Purrolyth'' hybrid in Update 1.5, with many alliances (also added in 1.5) and memes being revolved around it, with many depicting it as a MemeticBadass. Ludia took notice.
** ''Majundasuchus'' is one of the more popular Rare hybrids, despite being one of the weakest, due to being likely the first one many players acquire. Many called for it to get a superhybrid, and their prayers were answered in Update 1.14 with the release of ''Majundaboa'', who in turn gained an incredible superhybrid itself in ''Troodoboa'' months later.
** ''Sinosauropteryx'' (added in Update 2.11) also gained a following for its RidiculouslyCuteCritter status, as well as being reasonably accurate compared to other creatures of the game.
** ''Alankyloceratops'' also gains much popularity for being a long-waited hybrid of ''Alankylosaurus''.

* TheScrappy: ''Panthera blytheae'' released to almost unanimous hatred from the playerbase. The biggest kicker was that it was '''Legendary''' rarity, making it the third Legendary nonhybrid behind ''Parasaurolophus lux'' and Rexy; fans were not pleased that a creature with no previous relevance to any of the series was placed just about on par with essentially the franchise's face. Being a HighTierScrappy in a game already dominated by a very top-heavy imbalance of overpowered creatures only twisted the knife and salted the wound further.

Player vs. Player fights that don't involve bots, free-to-access strike tower events that yield great rewards, making supply towers far more common to help rural players, removing advertisements from supply towers to help with data usage, and numerous other features like dangerous area flagging and consistent new creature additions.
** Additionally, paleontology fans have been treated to the sight of fairly accurate dinosaurs in an official Jurassic Park property after feeling cheated out for years, especially in regards to feathers.
** Patch 2.0 introduced raids as well as reworked a large number of the roster. Useless animals got major buffs, and the most maligned animals from the prior patch all got proper counters.

It has the highest Critical Hit chance of any creature in the game, its attack stat is high enough to make short work of even the likes of ''Ardentismaxima'', its health sits at close to about ''85,000'', and worst of all, its minions (a ''Velociraptor'' and ''Majungasaurus'') are incredibly powerful in their own right; the raptor's Damage is on par with Mortem’s and its Speed sits at 162, guaranteeing it’ll be the fastest creature on the field, while the ''Majungasaurus'' can DrawAggro, shield all three opponents, and counterattack. Needless to say, while with the other Raids it’s helpful but not really required to have four players with incredibly powerful creatures and take out the minions, with Mortem, it’s a ''necessity'' to have four players take it on, each with a very high leveled creature with a lot of boosts on it, and to take down the minions ASAP. And even then, there are only a few very specific strategies requiring very specific creatures that stand the best chance of giving the players a shot at emerging victorious, and no small amount of luck involved.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Arguably is the case for Skoonasaurus, Thoradolosaur, Ardentismaxima, and Geminititan. The latter three, while still found in the lower arenas, have long past their heyday, but since all four of them have a high damage output and high health, combined with their powerful group-attack abilities[[note]] Meaning some of their attacks will hit multiple opponents [[/note]], they’re all incredibly useful for Apex and Unique Boss raids.
