Viva Piñata

S01E09: Trojan Horstachio

Professor Pester and his henchmen disguise themselves as a female horstachio in order to trap Hudson. Hudson immediately falls in love with the new horstachio, but insists on showing her everything about him and his life. Pester will need to create a love greater than Hudson's love for himself if he hopes to capture him.

Overview

Piñatas of various species roam the Piñata Island gardens freely, eating candy and coexisting with one another in a peaceful society. When a piñata's candy inside reaches a high enough level, they are sent to a party, where they will be broken open by the partygoers before being repaired and returned to the island. The series follows a group of close piñata friends and their day-to-day lives on the island.
