Dastardos | Dastardos will not begin appearing in your garden until level 10. When a piñata gets sick (such as through eating poisonous food, losing fights, or getting stuck), you will have some time to attempt to heal the piñata before Dastardos appears (about 2 minutes). | ||
Once Dastardos appears, he will slowly float into your garden, making a beeline for the sick piñata. He will sing an ominous tune as he does so. Dastardos will phase through any obstacles that would otherwise block his access to the piñata. Once he reaches the piñata, he will smash it open, taking their life candy, (though will leave the generic life candy).

* In ''Trouble in Paradise'', if Dastardos is visiting while [[Seedos]] is planting weed seeds in your garden, he will point and laugh every time a weed is planted. | |||
* In ''Viva Piñata'', all sour piñatas spawn from Dastardos' house. | |||
* Dastardos displays multiple ghost-like abilities, such as floating, being able to phase through obstacles or shovels, and his scarf moving on it's own. Due to this, some fans have speculated he may be some sort of undead being, however this is not confirmed. | |||
