Evolved from the Lickatoad in a daredevil fashion involving a poison berry and shovel, the Lackatoad is very much its own creature with its own distinct likes (Arocknids) and dislikes (Salamangos, fences).
The process by which characters reach a new level, gain greater attributes, and learn more abilities. It usually involves earning enough experience points by completing a variety of tasks such as quests or by "farming" such as killing other characters for their experience points.
Some species like to remain inconspicuous, but the Lickatoad is a prominent presence in the garden as it hustles Newtgats and tries to survive in a world of predatory Syrupents and Crowlas.
Loading Screens are specific screens that are displayed while a game is loading resources so that the player has something to distract them while the game loads. Loading Screens can be images, text or even mini-games - and sometimes a combination of all three.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
The egg-thieving Sour Macaraccoon sees the error of its ways once tamed, and will try to reimburse you by hunting for goodies outside the garden. It's also a dab hand at keeping Syrupent populations under control.
Particularly unhelpful in its Sour form as it scares off visitors, and pigs might fly before you're able to tame it. However, manage that and you'll earn yourself a loyal Mallowolf pet and defender against Ruffians.
Milk's importance in the self-sufficient lifestyle makes the Moozipan a popular domestic Piñata. It doesn't hurt that it's almost criminally easy to keep - no diva demands here, some grass and flowers will do fine.
Some creatures have three or more eyes and tend to be monstrous and frightening.
Nocturnal Mothdrops make undemanding residents, and keeping them around can also attract an array of other species from Sherbats to Galagoogoos. Sadly, this process rarely ends too well for the Mothdrops.
Much is made of the Mousemallow's hearing and the edge it provides against predators. Then again, it has no escape plan beyond 'run' - and for Syrupent and Kittyfloss families to thrive, sacrifices must be made!
The frilly, trilling Newtgat is a general pond favourite, sharing many traits with its nemesis the Lickatoad: a penchant for puddle-hopping, a low rank on the food chain and some interesting evolutionary potential.
A brightly colored bird, popular among Pirates.
Friend to the grizzled sea cap'n but also a dedicated jungle bird, which seems to cause remarkably few issues. Tropical fruit is the key to Parrybo residence, but romancing is a whole other piratical kettle of fish.
Penguins are flightless birds that are found in usually cold areas; they have appear in several videogames, notably the Club Penguin franchise.
The tragic figure of the Pigxie, a magical product of Piñata crossbreeding shunned by its parent species. Give it a new home a safe distance away, and work on raising your garden value to make it feel special.
They're just so much fun to whack, unless of course you just spent countless hours trying to get that damn Swanana and Rashberry together to romance dance and make you that precious (yet oddly deformed) Pigxie
Third-party developers and publishers occasionally engage in the practice of releasing a title or piece of DLC on only one platform for any number of reasons. Sometimes these are permanent while others are only platform exclusive for a certain window of time.
Who needs 2D when we've got 3D? 3D, or 3 dimensions, is what we're used to seeing in almost every game these days, letting us do all sorts of awesome stuff like run in circles!
Surprisingly surly for a domestic Piñata, the Ponocky must have taken on characteristics of the precocious tykes most likely to get one for a birthday present. Best to keep your Ponocky happy, fenced off or both...
A postal service transports and delivers letters and packages from one place to another often for a fee.
Some Piñatas can't help the way they are. The dusk- dwelling Pretztail may make hard work of your early Piñata rearing with a huge appetite for Quackberries, Cluckles and Bunnycombs, but there's no malice in it.
"Jack of all trades, master of none" describes the Quackberry perfectly. It can walk, fly, and swim, but not particularly well. It just can't lose that waddle.
Radial Menus are menus that appear in a circular pattern to display the options the player has.
Perhaps the easiest prey on Piñata Island, Raisants are an easy meal for everything from Arocknids to Fizzlybears. But they deal with it well, chewing bits of fruit and taking it all out on Buzzlegums occasionally.
Many games allow you to add characters to your playable group upon fulfilling certain conditions. This is a central mechanic of many RPG franchises, including Fire Emblem and Suikoden. These can be NPCs or even enemy characters that the player persuades to join their cause, through sidequests or dialogue options.
