There's a lot of people being nasty about them. Here's someone I found from Dev Tracker who got their thread locked by Aequorin: "This is a thread where people can scream their grievances and annoyance at the new light ancient without being talked down to about by defenders. If you like the new ancient, DO NOT POST HERE THANKS!" "The Everlix genuinely look diseased to me in some way. I cannot explain it, it just looks like they have every disease a dragon can have. I don't like them at all" "Dropping in again to just drop another random opinion of mine: but to me they just genuinely look diseased in some way, they don't look like they live healthy happy lives at ALL, more so the females as they in particular just... look like they have some kind of disease causing fluid build up in their stomachs. I'm fine with them being chubby, but they genuinely look diseased."
DA adding some quotes from the "Anyone else disappointed" thread to show how people are being Weird About It
Cryoluxa - "I wish we had a Light Ancient (like, glows? Elegant (slender, pristine)? Cute, at least? Kirin? Rabbit?) instead of...this." ""horrendously and grotesquely bulging" is a common thing in horror design for a reason. If nothing else, it comes across as unhealthy" "it's the fat itself that's scary, not the thing with the fat on it. Makes you think of choking and dying and stuff, at its tamest"
ArtanisNerwen - "Aethers, but ugly and fat. And they look even less like dragons"
