Housing
The Elephanilla house is like a magnificent Indian palace.
Housing cost:2475 coins

Animbassador: Ella

Drawbacks: Size, Clumsy, Colossal appetite

You don't get many of these to the pound! It may be a Piñata worth bragging about, but be prepared to pay the bills for its huge daily diet and depressingly regular property damage. Light on its feet the Elephanilla is not.

The sheer scale of the Elephanilla makes it very impressive, but at the same time it’s probably this plodding piñata’s biggest drawback. When an Elephanilla is clumsy the cost of a ‘little accident’ can be suitably enormous. Its colossal appetite doesn’t suit a poorly stocked garden, either.

Other Information

The easiest and most cost efficent way to attract an Elephanilla into the garden is by growing 16 corn seeds, opposed to trying to get 16 monkeynuts, blackberries, or gooseberries. Corn seeds are cheaper then gooseberry, blackberry, or monkeynut seeds, are much faster to grow, and will last much longer before becoming rotten.

The Elephanilla is so large, if it stands on another pinata, it will squish them, and make them unhappy. So keep a good supply of joy candy to keep your smaller pinatas happy.


Commonly asked questions
Any tips for meeting Elephanilla resident requirements?

The higher-level pinatas are a bit challenging to attract, because it does take several visits, and you won't necessarily get the same one visiting, next visit.

One option is to start a new garden, designed to attract only that species. This should help the Elephanilla to show up every day, instead of competing with many other wilds who are also attracted to the garden. Make sure to always maintain well more than 16 blackberries, ears of corn, gooseberries or monkeynuts in the garden, as it eats what's attracting it, so the Visit requirements are always met, or the Elephanilla will leave your garden early, drawing out the number of visits needed.

If you've got a visitor that only needs to meet one or two more requirements, try not to distract it with other items that it no longer is required to eat. Try to focus on keeping lots of what it needs on hand, near the corner it shows up on and move the other items away from where it enters. This way, it will hopefully eat only what it needs, instead of wasting the day devouring other things.

With a bit of patience, and attention to what it needs, you should eventually get one of these plodding pinatas to move in. (If all else fails, you could just get a friend to ship you one.) View thread
