Coconut

"This papaya tastes boring. I guess I normally like papaya. But this one is sort of boring all the way through. Like eating water. Boring water. I wonder when it will be sun time. Maybe I should try a different papaya after this one. But what if the next papaya is boring, too?"

Coconut is a male RainWing dragonet featured in The Hidden Kingdom and Moon Rising. He was a gliding partner and friend of Kinkajou the year before Glory came to the Rainforest Kingdom. Now, however, she doesn't really consider him a friend anymore, because he didn't notice or care when she was captured and taken to the Night Kingdom as a prisoner to have the RainWing's venom tested. Ironically, according to Kinkajou, he doesn't like coconuts, even though he's named after them. He is a student at Jade Mountain Academy in the Copper Winglet and is clawmates with Marsh, Alba, Mindreader, Peregrine, Snail, and Pronghorn.

Biography

The Hidden Kingdom

Coconut appears when Kinkajou and Glory return from the prisons in the Night Kingdom, although he didn't seem to have known or to have particularly cared that Kinkajou had been missing for several weeks. Glory ordered him to gather the RainWings for a meeting, and he did so, confused.

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

Moon Rising

In Moon Rising, Coconut has a few very small appearances, 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. When Kinkajou was talking 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.

Personality

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 a little obsessed with fruit. He is a called a "sloth masquerading as a dragon" by Qibli and "boring" by Moonwatcher.

Trivia

• Despite his name, he is shown to dislike coconuts, as of Moon Rising.
• In Winter Turning, Moon mentions that Coconut's mind isn't much deeper than Pyrite's.
