'''Coconut''' is a slow-witted male [[RainWings|RainWing]] [[Dragonets|dragonet]] featured in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'' and ''[[Moon Rising]]''. He was a gliding partner and friend of [[Kinkajou]] the year before [[Queen Glory|Glory]] came to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]]; now, however, Kinkajou doesn't really consider him a friend anymore, because he didn't seem to notice, or even care, when she was kidnapped by the [[NightWings]]. He is also a student attending [[Jade Mountain Academy]] in the [[Copper Winglet]], which includes [[Marsh]], [[Alba]], [[Mindreader]], [[Peregrine]], [[Snail]], and [[Pronghorn|Pronghorn.]] Ironically, according to Kinkajou, he doesn't even like coconuts, even though they're his namesake. He had emerald green scales in [[The Hidden Kingdom]] and lavender blue scales in [[Moon Rising]], and was also noted to have sleepy eyes.

In ''Moon Rising'', Coconut has a few very small appearances, mostly near the fruit in the dining cave, one of the times being when Kinkajou shows [[Moonwatcher]] around the school. Moonwatcher finds she can latch on his thoughts as a place of calm, but thinks she would go insane if she had to listen to them all day.

Coconut was mentioned to have taken gliding lessons with Kinkajou one year prior to ''The Hidden Kingdom,'' before her disappearance. He did not notice or seem to care about Kinkajou's absence from the [[RainWing village]] and appears to disregard her attempts to reconstruct their friendship. Every time Kinkajou tried to bring up how she was abducted by the [[NightWings]] to Coconut, he always replied apathetically, along the lines of "hm, what?" each time.{{Ref|MR|37}}

Coconut is shown in the prey center near Marsh and [[Clay]]. Clay mentions that they made a good choice in making the two clawmates as they became best friends.
Marsh is in the same Winglet as Coconut, as well as his clawmate. The two are docile and have opposite personalities, which was why they were paired up. Their personalities helped them to become best friends, according to Clay; Coconut's laziness helps to calm Marsh, while Marsh's nervousness helps Coconut start caring for things around him.{{Ref|DoDe}}


==Personality==
== Quotes ==
Coconut is shown to be absent-minded, shallow, lazy, forgetful, sleepy, and much less intelligent than his friend (or "former friend", according to her), Kinkajou. He appears to be to be at least a little obsessed with fruit. He is called, "a sloth masquerading as a dragon" by [[Qibli]] and "boring" by [[Moonwatcher]].

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

Coconut was first introduced after Kinkajou and Glory returned from the prisons in the NightWing volcano. The duo flew over to the rainforest with Kinkajou, who was excited to be back, and Coconut was surprised to see the young RainWing. He did not seem to realize or have particularly cared that Kinkajou had been missing for several weeks, which Kinkajou was deeply offended by. Glory ordered him to gather the RainWings for a meeting, and she threatened him to do so.

Later, Glory spotted him in a small group of RainWings, and he shrugged at her, showing that those were all he could gather.


The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Coconut appeared a few times, particularly near the fruit in the dining cave, with one of the times being when Kinkajou showed Moonwatcher around the school. Moonwatcher found that she could latch on to his thoughts as a place of calm, but claimed she would go insane if she had to listen to them all day. When Kinkajou talked to him, he paid very little attention to her and was more interested in the fruit he was eating. He was also later shown resting in a patch of sunlight, along with Boto and Siamang. Qibli thought that Coconut and Marsh were good clawmates because even skittery Marsh could not be scared of that "sloth masquerading as a dragon."

Coconut was mentioned when Moon was describing what Pyrite's mind was like. She compared it to Coconut's way of thinking, which she described as shallow.

In the epilogue, Coconut was at the prey center near Marsh and Clay. Clay mentioned that he and his fellow school administrators had made a good choice in making Marsh and Coconut clawmates since the two had quickly become best friends.

Relationships

Coconut was mentioned to have taken gliding lessons with Kinkajou one year prior to The Hidden Kingdom, before her disappearance. He did not notice or seem to care about Kinkajou's absence from the RainWing village and appears to disregard her attempts to reconstruct their friendship. Every time Kinkajou tried to bring up how she was abducted by the NightWings to Coconut, he always replied apathetically, along the lines of "hm, what?" each time.[2]

Marsh is in the same Winglet as Coconut, as well as his clawmate. The two are docile and have opposite personalities, which was why they were paired up. Their personalities helped them to become best friends, according to Clay; Coconut's laziness helps to calm Marsh, while Marsh's nervousness helps Coconut start caring for things around him.[7]

Quotes

"The mangoes are pretty good, I was told to eat them first because they're all ripe. I like bananas better but mangoes are fine. I don't particularly like coconut, though."
― to Moon (Moon Rising, page 37)

"This papaya tastes boring. I guess I normally like papaya. But this one is sort of boring all the way through. [...] Maybe I should try a different papaya after this one. But what if the next papaya is boring, too?"
― Coconut's thoughts (Moon Rising, page 101)

Trivia

  • In Moon Rising, Coconut's scales are usually a quiet lavender-blue. However, his scales are shown in The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel) to be lime green and yellow most of the time.
