Viva Pinata (correctly spelled: Viva Piñata) is a life simulation game developed by Rare Ltd., for the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console. The project
was headed by Gregg "The Grim Reaper" Mayles and the team behind the Banjo-Kazooie series, based on an idea from Tim Stamper. At E3 2007, during the Microsoft press conference, a Game for Windows version was announced and subsequently released in November 2007. A Nintendo DS version was also announced.
Likened to The Sims, Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, the game tasks the player with turning a neglected plot of land into a beautiful garden. As with many sandbox games, this one is open-ended, with no strict winning or losing requirements. Instead, players are guided only generally towards the objectives of increasing their garden's value and attracting piñata residents. Gamers are free to determine their own sub-goals and work towards them. (Wikipedia)

If you hit it at the correct moment, you should now have a Two Headed Syrupent. To get the Four Headed Sryupent, have the Two Headed Syrupent romance. Do the same thing with the egg as before with the shovel.
Watering Can There is a watering can in the game that you only need to water plants once with. You can get it from the beggar when he opens his shop. You must be either level 20 or higher for him to have it in his shop.
