Animations	How natural, smooth, and appropriate are the animations? Do they have physical coherence? Do they have character/personality? How well are they executed? Does the model have enough animations to function properly?	/15
Effects	Were the particle, ribbon, or mesh effects made in good measure? Do they contribute to the model? Are they impressive?	/10

That Hydra. So good.

 

[Heinvers]

Good luck people.

Captain Morgan was quite impressive (mesh but especially animations), but simply too detailed for standard in-game usage.

Captain Bob was better about detail & pretty creative to boot (fat man model, cool armor, etc), but still a bit much for me personally.

Multi-Tier Hydra was not only perfect for the game, but also incredibly valuable as a utility rather than merely a showpiece. What it lacked in pure "creativity" (i.e. the Hydra heads being edited from the Tidal Guardian serpent model, rather than scratch-meshes like the other two (?)) it made up for in utility.
