July 9th, 2008 by Daniel Duncan
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is closing in on us. In 59 days, this latest installment in the Viva franchise will be landing on store shelves awaiting your loving embrace. To celebrate its upcoming release, we’ll be taking a look at the past of the franchise each day leading up until its US, Canadian, and Latin American release on September 2nd and its European release on September 5th. So without further ado, let’s examine Day 6…
Day 6: The Invincible Chewnicorn
See that guy above? That’s Mr. C…one of the strangest Chewnicorns around. He first came to my Garden when I planted that special Gem Tree that Chewnicorns have a fond attraction to. He ate those tasty little gems I planted for him. One-by-one *crunch*…*crunch*…*crunch*… they were gone. Then his little black & white body was emblazoned with color as he became a resident. My first Chewnicorn and I…was…happy. :)
Mr. C and I had some wonderful times together. I’d watch him as he would wander around the Garden, healing Pinata here and healing Pinata there with his special powers. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Good ol’ Mr. C, Pinata Healer Extraordinaire! All was great and wonderful in the world and then…it happened…
Now look, I love achievements. There’s just something about seeing that "Achievement Unlocked" message pop-up on screen that utterly excites me. So when browsing through the achievements, I noticed one for making a Pinata worth 10,000 Chocolate Coins. A devious plan came to mind then that involved none other than Mr. C himself. "I’m going to accessorize him" I thought. And boy, did I ever.
I casually took a little trip over to the Paper Pets shop in the village and purchase the most expensive accessories that were available at the time. I didn’t care how nice or ugly they were, just as long as they would get their job done. They did. I returned to the Garden, accessorized ol’ Mr. C up and presto, there it was: ‘Achievement Unlocked’. As for Mr. C? He wasn’t happy. At all. He stomped around the Garden not caring about the poor little Raisant he just squashed, not caring about the Whirlm dying from sickness beneath the hedges…only caring about himself. Can you blame him? I just whored him out for an achievement! But hey, I wasn’t about to let a little temper tandrum cost me my hard-earned cash, so I cautiously approached him to remove the accessories so I could sell them back to the Paper Pets Shop. That didn’t quite work out.
Mr. C couldn’t be touched! That’s right…he became completely uninteractive! The cursor couldn’t be placed on him, no squirting with water…heck, I couldn’t even whack him with the shovel! And so it was…for well over a year. Mr. C came to be known as "The Invincible Chewnicorn" due to this extraordinary gift. Always there, marching around the Garden as a king. No matter how badly I wanted to sell him, it was absolutely impossible. Nothing could be done with the little booger!
Hope however, ignited into my heart one day. I’m just wandering around the Garden watching Petey the Dragonache when I noticed something blue collapse to the ground. It was Mr. C!! He was was sick, dying in a puddle of water. I don’t know how it happened because there was no sour candy in the Garden… he just fell over. And, sad to say, I was happy. Finally, I was going to be FREE! Dastardos then approaches the Garden like a reaper in the night. Closer he came. And then he was upon him, ready to take its soul with his touch of death. My jaw dropped in awe. Dastardos leaves and Mr. C is still lying there sick. That’s right, not broken up! Stunned I was, not knowing what to think. He should be dead!
But oh no… it didn’t end there. Guess what happened next? HE STOOD UP! Yes, that blue goober stood right up and carried on his business like nothing had ever happened. I whipped out my shovel in a rampage and started whacking away like a mad man….to no avail of course. Still alive and very much invincible. There was no hope for it…he was here to stay forever.
And there you have it. That’s the story of Mr. C, "The Invincible Chewnicorn". Even today he still wanders the Garden without a care in the world. Watch this video below for some footage of that death defying twerp and then offer any advice as to how to get rid of this monstrosity in the comments. Please…I beg of you!

Dastardos might have noticed that Mr. C was driving you nuts and revived it to get on your nerves. XD
Very interesting glitch, I’ve never heard anything like it. Nice footage too, must be a handful keeping a garden in order with Mr. C around.

Have you tried packing the Chewnicorn in a crate yet?
July 9th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Some content and errors were in the article there. Should be fixed now. And to answer your question, yes, I have attempted to package him in the crate. No luck.

Now I have a lot of experience with pinatas… but I have NEVER seen anything like it before. My friends call me Pinata Professor. The way to get rid of it I would say… get a Barkbark and make it angry by tapping its head with a shove… you may want to keep other pinatas out of the way… anyway, make sure he goes to Mr. C. Then if the barkbark wins, you should be able to whack the bejeezus out of it! :)

Good ideas, but i think the best way is to take everything out of the garden. (leave mr.c) then go to settings on your xbox,then memory, then games then find the garden that he is in and delete it. That will definetly work. Yea and my friends don’t call me Pinata Professor they call me basketball princess :D (i like that allot better)

And if anyone wants to be friends or trade for a: chewnicorn, Galagoogoo, Elephinilla, or somethings else add me on xbox. “Queen of Cuties” :D

He stays alive out of sheer hatred for you, Petulia, and his clothes. He actually convinced Dastardos to help him in his revenge plans. Let Mr. C be a harsh life lesson for you… If you’re just going for an achievement, be prepared to live with the consiquance- Be thankful that Mr. C does not leave your screen and drink your blood at night.
LOL… And if there was ever a cool idea for a VP fan drawing, that was it.

The chewnicorn got up when he was sick because he was wearing a halo of hardness accessory. This particular item automatically heals the pinata whnever i is sick. You shouls whack your dragonache and have it start a fight with the nearest pinata…Mr. C. The dragonache should win soo try putting your curser on the chewnicorn after the fight it should work. Good luck!!!1
