Langston Lickatoad is a Lickatoad piñata who runs Piñata Central. He will often contact the player, issuing out Factory challenges to be completed. In Trouble in Paradise, he also runs Langstons TrapEase.

Despite being a piñata, Langston is fully capable of human speech, and is the only piñata in the games seen doing so. This oddity is never acknowledged in-game.

Biography

Apperance

Langston looks exactly like your average Lickatoad, and is the default green coloration. He wears a small orange hardhat on his head. The hat has a sign sticking up from it, emblazoned with the Piñata Central logo.

Like a normal piñata, Langston also has a label. It is of the Piñata Central logo, the same as on his hat.

Trivia

• Langston is a character originally from the Viva Piñata cartoon series. He was included in the game series to better tie the two sides of the franchise together.
  • This fact is referenced in-universe by Jeffe, who was originally designed as the head of Piñata Central before it was decided to include Langston instead. It is stated by Jeffe that he was fired from that same position and replaced by Langston, leading to him holding a grudge on the frog.
• Langston is the only non-human NPC in the games, and the only piñata fully capable of human speech and thought.
• Due to his unclear game icon and never seeing him in-person in the original Viva Piñata, many players thought he was a man wearing some sort of frog mask.
