Hudson Horstachio is a main character in the Viva Piñata TV series. He is the most famous piñata known on Piñata Island, and he is always in demand and frequently double-booked. He is of the most requested piñata species, the classic horse piñata, the Horstachio. As a real Piñata superstar, his popularity leads him on a heavily fixed schedule, with various dates he needs to go to. It's incredibly difficult to get on his calendar - he usually only does the parties of the rich and famous or heads of state. Hudson does like to go to appointments, and one of his pet peeves is when his appointments are canceled.
Despite all of his success, he’s still a stand-up steed, and his friends, Fergy Fudgehog, Ella Elephanilla, Paulie Pretztail, Les Galagoogoo, and Franklin Fizzlybear are always there to keep his hooves on the ground. Because of his celebrity status, Hudson sometimes wears outlandish disguises when out in public. But Hudson is not above using his superstardom to get what he wants. And what he really wants to do is to dance... all the time!
His biggest fan is Beverly Badgesicle. She is usually annoying to Hudson, and he prefers to stay away from her. He also dislikes vacations, as they drive him away from his stardom.
Personality[]
Hudson is a very charismatic and cocky Horstachio. He is extremely confident, almost to the point of narcissism. Hudson really enjoys being the center of attention and becomes jealous easily whenever someone becomes more popular than him.
While he enjoys being pampered, Hudson is not lazy - he is extremely dedicated to his job as an entertainer and genuinely enjoys putting on shows for his fans, as long as it's not something too embarrassing. He is actually so dedicated to it that he hates taking vacations and when he is forced to take a vacation, he soon starts losing his sanity.
Because of his gigantic ego, Hudson can be rather selfish and self-absorbed, often ignoring the needs and wants of his friends just to be in the limelight. Despite that, he is generally a good friend who just needs a good reality check every now and then.
