105:. Mauricio describes him as having an always optimistic view, as someone who likes to help his friends and, "sometimes, even the enemies. And he's got this calm, confident attitude." He is kind, friendly and concerned to help people around him. He has several friends. Horacio is also a carnivore, but insists on having a vegetarian diet. Horacio has a golden heart, is cheerful, wise, and eats only "alfacinhas" (small lettuce leaves) and is one of Mauricio de Sousa's most philosophical characters. He is very disputed by the dinosaurs Simone and Lucinda, who are both in love with him. Although he doesn't have an interest in either of them, he keeps them as good friends.
