Coyote
- "Cheer up, Cottonmouth. I'm sure the emperor will let you chase imaginary dragons for the rest of your life if you want to. You can avoid the front line for years that way."
- — Coyote to Cottonmouth, The Flames of Hope
Coyote was a male human who was introduced The Flames of Hope. He was a resident of Cottonmouth's empire, and his last known location was in Pyrrhia.
Appearance
Coyote wore fancier, cleaner, and more elegant clothing than any humans Luna had ever seen before, and it was decorated with little swirls of silver thread in delicate filigree patterns.[1] He wore a bag around his waist[2] and had a knife tucked into one of his boots.[3] He appeared lined and grizzled as he grew older,[4] and his wrappings appeared rougher, lacking the silver filigrees.[5]
Personality
Coyote slouched and swaggered when he was younger, grinning and throwing rocks at trees before strutting in a circle and pronouncing himself as Emperor Coyote.[6] He was loud, taking up all of the space and all of the air,[1] and was scoffing,[3] bossy, and cheerful.[7]
Relationships
Coyote casually excluded Cottonmouth when he explained that he and two friends could each rule one of Pyrrhia's three empires, and Cottonmouth then spoke to him coldly.[1] Coyote told Cottonmouth that his plan to capture and tame dragons was ridiculous[7] and was willing to let his brother carry on looking for dragons alone while he and his friends returned to the city.[2] He mocked Cottonmouth's pretentious tone, laughing at him along with their friends, and slapped his brother on the shoulder before implying that by chasing dragons, Cottonmouth planned to avoid being drafted into the army, to which Cottonmouth replied frostily;[8] he then waved away his brother's protests before shouting that he would race Cottonmouth back to camp.[9]
As Cottonmouth grew older and assumed a position of power within his empire, he was quick to curtly order Coyote around.[5] Coyote eventually agreed to his brother's requests, throwing up his hands and stalking back towards the dragon's cave in order to steal more of their eggs.[10] Coyote seemed uneasy around his brother.[11]
