'''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.

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.

== Obtaining a Choclodocus ==

Obtaining a Choclodocus is an even more involved process than ~~it's~~ [[Dragonache|predecessor]], and you must have completed several things in your game before you can ever even think about laying your eyes on one.

Obtaining a Choclodocus is an even more involved process than its [[Dragonache|predecessor]], and you must have completed several things in your game before you can ever even think about laying your eyes on one.

=== The Bones ===

Your first task is to obtain three ~~differently~~ colored bones. [[Red Bone|Red bones]] can be purchased from Costolot's Store starting from level 45. For the [[Blue Bone|blue]] and [[Green Bone|green bones]] however, you will need to purchase a [[mine]] and hire some [[Diggerling|Diggerlings]]. ~~Your~~ usual mining strategies will work, so just be patient and your desired bones will appear.

Your first task is to obtain any three '''colored bones'''. Colored bones come in three colors-- red, green, and blue. [[Red Bone|Red bones]] can be purchased from Costolot's Store starting from level 45. For the [[Blue Bone|blue]] and [[Green Bone|green bones]], however, you will need to purchase a [[mine]] and hire some [[Diggerling|Diggerlings]]. The usual mining strategies will work, so just be patient and your desired bones will appear.

Any combination of colors will work~~, you may~~ have ~~one of each or even just use~~ three ~~red~~ bones. Once you have three bones, you will need to hire [[Bartholomew|Bart]] to tinker them. The order in which he tinkers them is very important, as each will result in a different piece of the skeleton. The first will be the skull, then the ribs, and finally the spine. Tinkering a fourth bone will start the cycle over.

Any combination of colors will work-- the only requirement is to have three colored bones total. Once you have three bones, you will need to hire [[Bartholomew|Bart]] to tinker them into pieces of a dinosaur skeleton. The order in which he tinkers them is very important, as each will result in a different piece of the skeleton. The first will be the skull, then the ribs, and finally the spine. Tinkering a fourth bone will start the cycle over.

The [[skull]] will determine what kind of head your Choclodocus will have.

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.

=== Hatching the Egg ===

Like the [[Dragonache]], the Choclodocus egg will not hatch on ~~it's~~ own. It also cannot be broken or sold. To hatch the egg, you will need to obtain a [[Cluckles]]. Sending it over immediately will not work however. To hatch the Choclodocus, your Cluckles will need to be wearing the [[Jurassic Hair]] accessory. Now that it's dressed for the part, your Cluckles will be able to hatch the egg as normal. Now a baby Choclodocus is yours!

When the game first released, there was a special [[Piñata Vision]] card sent to the first 25 people to 100% the game.
