'''Taffly''' is a little blue fly [[piñata]]. While it may be unassuming at first, the Taffly is an incredibly useful piñata to have around and a staple to any [[garden]]. Not only can the Taffly be evolved into a [[Reddhott]], multiplying it's value immensely, but it can even make [[fertilizer]] for you, only costing you a single piece of [[fruit]].

Tafflies are able to make [[fertilizer]] for you. They won't eat any kind of [[fruit]] you give them, instead, they will spray green goo over it, turning it into fertilizer. This is the only way to get the fertilizer pile item in your garden, though it will turn into the regular bagged version upon use. Tafflies will turn fruit to fertilizer at a rate of one fruit per dose. Using a Taffly to make fertilizer will earn the Taffly Fertilizer [[achievement]] in ''Viva Piñata''.
Tafflies are able to produce [[fertilizer]]. When directed toward a [[fruit]], they will spray green goo over it, turning it into fertilizer. This is the only way to get the fertilizer pile item in the garden. When selected with the A button, it will be transformed into the standard fertilizer bag, at which point it may be used in the same way as fertilizer bought from Costolot. Tafflies can turn fruit into fertilizer at a rate of one fruit per fertilizer dose. Using a Taffly to make fertilizer will earn the Taffly Fertilizer [[achievement]] in ''Viva Piñata''.


In ''Pocket Paradise'', this is the only way to obtain fertilizer, as it cannot be purchased in that game.
In ''Pocket Paradise'', Taffly instead eats the fruit and defecates the fertilizer. When tapped on the touch screen, the fertilizer will be added to the player's inventory and can be used from the menu. This is the only way to obtain fertilizer in ''Pocket Paradise'', as it cannot be purchased.

Taffly can also be evolved into [[Reddhott]]. To do so, set your Taffly on fire somehow. There are multiple ways to do this, such as being hit by a [[fireweed]], but the simplest method is to purchase the [[firebrand]] item from [[Costolot's Store]]. When it is on, direct your Taffly to the torch. It will circle a bit, but will eventually fly through the flame. Once it lands, it will begin panicking. Douse the poor thing with your [[watering can]], and it will turn into a Reddhott.

Douse the poor thing with a [[watering can]], and it will turn into a Reddhott.


Evolving into Reddhott increases the Tafflies value by 7 times. Because the Taffly is so simple to attract, and the method of evolution is also inexpensive, it means that evolving and selling Reddhotts is one of the most powerful money-making methods in the game.  
Evolving into Reddhott increases a Taffly's value by 7 times. Tafflies are low-level, simple to attract, can be hunted by [[Gretchen]] cheaply and quickly, and the firebrand is available at a very low level for a paltry 105 coins. These combined factors make evolving and selling Reddhotts among the most powerful money-making methods in every game in which they appear.

* [[Storkos]] apparently gained the ability to fly thanks to a Taffly wandering into a teleportation device she had created.
* [[Storkos]] apparently gained the ability to fly thanks to a Taffly wandering into a teleportation device she had created.
* Taffly's fertilizer ability is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Calliphora_vomitoria|blue bottle fly]]'s method of eating, in which it spits digestive fluids onto a piece of food in order to liquefy it, so that it may suck up the remains through its proboscis. This was the inspiration for the blue bottle's scientific name, ''Calliphora vomitoria''
