'''Dragonache''' is a legendary dragon [[piñata]]. It is the ultimate prize in ''Viva Piñata'', and plays a major role in the game's lore, recounted in the [[Storybook]].

Only one Dragonache exists per garden. The Dragonache cannot be sold, get sick, be destroyed, wear [[accessories]] or [[romance]]. In ''Viva Piñata'', the Dragonache could not be crated. In ''Trouble in Paradise'', it can be crated, ~~however~~ cannot be traded to other players. The Dragonache is one of only two species that does not have a [[Piñata Homes|piñata home]].

== Description ==

=== Appearance ===

Dragonache seems to be based on the mythical [[wikipedia:Quetzalcoatl|Quetzalcōātl]], with aesthetics borrowed from dinosaurs and birds. It has a wide, flat beak with two pairs of eyes, a purple tongue and a feathered mane. Behind its head is a set of four wings, each made of two flat, layered panels with feathers protruding from the end of each wing. It has eight legs that span the belly of its serpentine body. Its long tail is lined with spines and ends in a flat, padded shape with additional feathers.

Dragonache is covered head-to-toe in colorful geometric patterns, but its exact patterns and color scheme vary depending on the specimen, as do the sizes and shapes of its various feathers.

=== Behavior ===

Line 54:

Line 57:

Once all of these have been eaten, your Dragonache will finally enter its cocoon, and emerge as a fully grown fire breathing Dragonache!

=== Returning to an Egg ===

In ''Pocket Paradise'' only, it is possible for Dragonache to restart its growth cycle by returning to an egg. By tapping Dragonache on the touch screen to select it with the cursor, two additional menu options will appear. First from the left is the option to send Dragonache away, much like in the console games, but next to it is an option that reverts Dragonache back inside of its egg. The egg must be hatched and grown normally to return it to its adult state, but hatching again allows a Dragonache to change its color.

Dragonache also has variation in its features. Upon being born, a Dragonache will have a random set of mane, teeth, wings, and tail. This cannot be influenced by the player, and is entirely random. This makes it unlikely to see two of the exact same Dragonache.
