Choclodocus is a dinosaur piñata and the ultimate prize in Trouble in Paradise. Only one Choclodocus can be obtained per save file.

Like the Dragonache, Choclodocus is a special piñata and cannot be found from the wild. It cannot get sick, be broken, sold, romance, wear accessories, or be traded to other players. It can be crated; however, it can only be moved between different gardens within the same save file, meaning it cannot be sent to other players.

Description

Appearance

Choclodocus' appearance can vary wildly depending on the colors of the dinosaur bones used to create it. However, its basic form is that of a large quadrupedal dinosaur with striped patterns across its body broken up by diamond-shaped accents. Its color scheme as well as the shapes of its head and tail are dependent on the bones from which it was created.

Behavior

Obtaining a Choclodocus

Obtaining a Choclodocus is an even more involved process than its predecessor, and a player desiring a Choclodocus must have completed several difficult tasks before even thinking about laying their eyes on one.

The Bones

The first step is to obtain any three colored bones. Colored bones come in three colors-- red, green, and blue. Red bones can be purchased from Costolot's Store starting from level 45. For the blue and green bones, however, players will need to purchase a mine and hire some Diggerlings.

Any combination of colors will work-- the only requirement is to have three colored bones total. Once the three bones have been acquired, Bart must be hired to tinker them into dinosaur bones. The order in which the bones are tinkered is very important, as each tinker will result in a different piece of the skeleton. The first bone tinkered becomes a skull, then ribs, and finally a spine. Tinkering a fourth bone will start the cycle over.

The skull will determine what kind of head Choclodocus will have.

Red Skull - Frill with two horns (Triceratops head)

Blue Skull - Long neck with small head (Brontosaurus head)

Green Skull - Long, toothy snout (Suchomimus head)

The ribs will determine what kind of tail Choclodocus will have.

Red Ribs - Round, seven-spiked tail (Ankylosaurus tail club)

Blue Ribs - Pointed tail, with four long spikes (Stegosaurus tail)

Green Ribs - Tail fan (Feathered dinosaur tail)

The spine will determine the color of Choclodocus.

Red Spine - Pink

Blue Spine - Blue

Green Spine - Green

Because red bones are the only purchasable type of bone, the easiest way to obtain a Choclodocus is to simply tinker three red bones; however, this does not allow for any variation in the resulting piñata's appearance.

The Amber

The next required item is the amber gem. In order to obtain the amber, the Wishing Well must first be unlocked, which in turn requires viewing the credits. The credits can only be viewed after either freeing all blocked piñatas (such as Arocknid and Barkbark) or using the "Piñata People" cheat code, after which the well will be available for purchase at Costolot's Store.

Once the well is placed in the garden, it's revealed that Ivor from the previous game is actually stuck down there. Though he cannot escape, it is possible to toss down chocolate coins to him in exchange for different rewards. Tossing down 9,999 chocolate coins will cause Ivor to toss up the amber.

Throwing 9,999 coins down the well will only result in amber the first time it is performed. Only one amber exists per save file, meaning there is only one chance to obtain a Choclodocus without completely starting a new game.

Obtaining the Egg

Once all three dinosaur bones and the amber have been acquired, the player must request Willy to build a Garden Store. Place the dinosaur bones, inside the Garden Store alongside the amber. Once they have been deposited, take a look inside. The pieces will have all disappeared, and in their place is a brand new Choclodocus egg.

Hatching the Egg

Like the Dragonache, the Choclodocus egg will not hatch on its own. It also cannot be broken or sold. A Cluckles must hatch the egg, but sending it over immediately will not work. To hatch the Choclodocus, Cluckles will need to be wearing the Jurassic Hair accessory. Now that it's dressed for the part, the Cluckles will be able to hatch the egg as normal. Now a baby Choclodocus is yours!

Growing the Baby

The Choclodocus will remain in its baby form indefinitely, until it has eaten the following items:

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise

Growth

Has eaten a Cocoadile
Has eaten a Jameleon
Has eaten a Geckie
Has eaten a bone
Has drunk a bottle of milk

Eating all 5 will cause it to cocoon, and grow up into an adult.

Variants

The Choclodocus does not have traditional variants. Instead, the appearance of a Choclodocus is determined by the colors of the dinosaur bones used to create it. Only one Choclodocus can be created per save file, so be certain of the desired appearance before placing everything in the Garden Store.

Skull Color	Ribs Color	Red Spine	Green Spine	Blue Spine	Elite Neon
Red	Red
Red	Green
Red	Blue
Green	Red
Green	Green
Green	Blue
Blue	Red
Blue	Green
Blue	Blue

When Trouble in Paradise first released, there was a special Piñata Vision card sent to the first 25 people to 100% the game. This card would change a resident Choclodocus into a special black and neon green variant, called "Elite Neon".^[1] Each of these cards was locked to the gamertag of its recipient, but later on, fans reverse-engineered the barcode format and created a variation of the card that wasn't gamertag-locked.

Trick Requirements

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise

Tricks

Feed a Ruby to perform Trick 1
Feed a Diamond to perform Trick 2

Uses

Choclodocus can give any pinata max candiosity when directed to it. (Warning: The adolescent version will still hunt other pinatas that are needed to meet its age up needs!)

Species Conflicts

Happiness

Leafos Gossip

“A Dragonache is cool, but wouldn’t it be great to rediscover a prehistoric Piñata?”

Trivia

There are 27 possible variations of Choclodocus' appearance, not counting Elite Neon colorations. With Elite Neon colors, this increases to 36.
Choclodocus' icon depicts a triceratops-styled face with green patterns, indicating it is one of the variants created with a red skull and green spine.
The Choclodocus egg depicts all four possible color schemes (blue, green, pink, and Elite Neon) as descending stripes.

Place all 3 skeleton pieces you want to use, and the amber, inside the Garden Store. Wait awhile, and look inside. The pieces will have all disappeared, and in their place is your brand new Choclodocus egg.
