The universe can exist without god, but it can't exist without a higgs boson. But the particle hasn't actually been identified.

Does this mean that besides the fact that higgs bosons are unstable and have no spin, I. the author, am free to invent behaviors for my character Higgy the Boson?

I heard the LHC found a particle within the higgs parameters. However, more research has to be made to confirm if its properties and if they fit the model.

Mabe Alex can expand on that. I know some basic physics, so yeah.
