Hudson Horstachio

Hudson Horstachio  is one of the main characters of the Viva Piñata franchise and its TV series of the same name. He is a pinata celebrity.
He was voiced by Dan Green.
==Personality==
Hudson can be described as arrogant, vain, conceited, even narcissistic, as he often brags about his status as a celebrity and is often shown admiring himself in the mirror. In spite of that, he can be surprisingly friendly and helpful, especially towards his friends.
Hudson loves being the center of attention and has a flair for the dramatic. He is scared of spotlight being taken away from him, with him usually falling into a depressive episode or doing desperate things to get it back whenever it happens. He enjoys dancing and acting.
He dislikes being alone with no one around to give him attention and some episodes show that he has a workaholic streak, as he only sleeps for 8 seconds (with him even arguing that just 6 would be enough but he "pampers himself") and refuses to take vocations, even after getting a disruptive stress-induced twitch. He is also a self-proclaimed "city slicker" who doesn't do well in areas outside his comfort zone ("Wild Horstachios", "Hibernation Nation")
==Appearance==
Hudson looks like a typical Horstachio, being a horse piñata with a yellow mane, one blue and one magenta ear, purple head with blue patches around his eyes and neck and light purple patches on his nose. He has a turquoise torso and magenta limbs with darker and lighter lines in the middle. His eyes are green. His main distinguishing characteristic from other Horstachios are a pair of sunglasses he almost always wears.
