It's not to say there isn't something to look at and change, however I feel you are comparing apples to oranges a little bit. Making him super duper amazing in all categories eliminates the choice players have on what pet to use to fit their playstyle, and in this case perhaps Glacian is does not do what you were anticipating after reading player reviews. Keep in mind that as we make more content, and more pets come out, we have very little headroom for making a lot of new pets without breaking game balance and keeping them unique without creating a "EVERYONE FORGET THE OTHER 90 PETS AND GET THIS ONE". This scenario is not ideal for us, or for the gamers who are working hard to farm eggs and the like. For example if we released something with 25 all stats AND damage AND crit... why play anything else?
There is a delicate balance here, and it's being looked at carefully as there is more room to do harm than good if we tip the scale too much. Thank you for your patience as we look into it.
