Choclodocus

Choclodocus
Were there prehistoric Piñatas? I thought Piñatas were discovered in China by Marco Polo who then brought them to Europe. The tradition then transferred to South America by Spanish explorers. All this was a long time after dinosaurs. It's as if someone wanted be cool without thinking it through properly.

The Choclodocus is a dinosaur Piñata introduced in Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise.

It is one of two rare and elusive Piñata species, the other being the Dragonache. It cannot be found in the wild and must be obtained by combining amber with three colored rib parts in the Garden Store. If you manage to raise this beast, you'll have proven yourself to be a truly elite Piñata gardener.

Appearance

The Chocolodocus is a large dinosaur piñata. Like the Dragonache, its color and appearance varies depending on how a player creates it, though the variations are more limited than the Dragonache. There are around 27 combinations.

A secret black and neon green combination was implemented in the game. The first 25 players to complete the game 100% earned a batch of Piñata Vision cards included in a document mailed to them, the largest of which when scanned would change the piñata's color to this secret combination.

Requirements (Trouble in Paradise)

• To obtain the Choclodocus, you need to obtain three colored bones. Blue and green bones can be unearthed from the mine; red bones can be purchased from Costolot's Store after reaching level 45. You also need an Amber. This is retrieved from the Wishing Well the first time you throw 9,999 Chocolate Coins down the well.
• Next, you must tinker three colored bones. The bones that you choose to use affect the appearance of the Chocodoculus that will be hatched. The first bone you tinker turns into a skull, which will determine the type of head that your Choclodocus will have.
  • Red bone - Triceratops
  • Blue bone - Brontosaurus
  • Green bone - Stegosaurus
• The second bone you tinker turns into ribs, which will determine the type of tail:
  • Red bone - Flat, seven-spiked tail
  • Blue bone - Pointed tail, with four long spikes
  • Green bone - Tail fan
• The third bone you tinker turns into a spine, which will determine the color:
  • Red bone - Purple
  • Blue bone - Blue
  • Green bone - Green
• The tinkered items and the amber must then be inserted into a Garden Store. Eventually, the Choclodocus egg will be produced. However the egg will not hatch on its own.

Hatching the Egg

• Place the Jurassic Hair Accessory on a Cluckles.
• Send the accessorized Cluckles over to the Choclodocus Egg to hatch it.

Feeding the Baby

The baby Choclodocus is a hungry little sucker! Feed it the following items to grow it to maturity:

• Milk
• Bone
• Cocoadile
• Geckie
• Jameleon

Note: It may fall asleep after eating all these items if it is nighttime and will cocoon when it wakes up.

Trick Requirements

Just like any other Piñata species, the Choclodocus can be taught tricks.

• Feed it a Ruby to have it perform Trick 1.
• Feed it a Diamond to have it perform Trick 2.

Choclodocus Cans and Cannots

By virtue of its special status, there are some restrictions and advantages that apply to Choclodocus:

• You cannot dismiss Choclodocus.
• The Choclodocus Egg cannot be broken.
• Choclodocus cannot be sold to Costolot.
• Choclodocus cannot become sick, nor can it be broken.
• Choclodocus does not romance or have a house.
• Choclodocus can be shipped off to a party.
• Choclodocus cannot be sent to your friends or traded with them.
• Choclodocus cannot wear accessories.
• Choclodocus can be directed to other Piñatas to instantly fill their Candiosity meter.
• Choclodocus likes to eat piles of dirt from Mines, just like Profitamoles.
• You can only earn one Amber Gem from the Wishing Well for each profile save, which is an item required to make the Choclodocus. However, using Piñata Vision to scan an unsupported Amber Gem card allows for obtaining multiple Choclodocus piñatas, even in the same garden.

Other Information

It is possible for the Choclodocus to glitch when directed to a piñata to raise their candiosity meter. Packing the piñata into a post office crate and taking them back out again will fix this glitch. Otherwise, the Choclodocus will remain stuck in an idle animation.

Like the profitamole, Choclodocus likes to eat dirt mounds excavated from mines. This can be a consistent way to maintain the Choclodocus' candiosity meter.

The Choclodocus likes eating gems, in addition to the ones required for its trick requirements. It does not, however, like gold nuggets.
