Viva Piñata Wiki

Ruffians (ラフィアン Rafian) are Professor Pester's four minions. They rampage the garden by performing generally unwanted actions such as coughing up toxic candies, opening gates and destroying fences, starting (and also winning) fights with resident piñatas, and filling in ponds.

Ruffians are aggressive outlaws and thought to be quite disgraceful and destructive in the Piñata world. One of Leafos's quotes shows this: "When I was little my mother told me to control my temper or I would become a Ruffian. What a horrible thing to say to a child!"

Ruffians may have a soft spot for Helpers, however. If a helper is stuck too long they will free the helper and run away with them.

Getting Rid of Ruffians[]

A Ruffian will not leave until it finishes causing mayhem or one of the following actions is preformed.

  • Bribe them with Chocolate Coins.
  • Have a Barkbark with a Spiked Collar chase them off. (Pocket Paradise only)
  • Placing a Captains Cutlass in the garden will stop Ruffians from showing up completely.
  • Directing a Mallowolf, S'morepion or Smelba to them to scare them off.
  • smacking them repeatedly with an upgraded shovel will eventually get them to leave, although when two or more are running amuck in your garden, it's not a very effective deterent.
