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."

— Coconut's thoughts, Moon Rising

Coconut is a male RainWing dragonet who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. He currently attends Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Copper Winglet.

Appearance

Coconut is small. He typically has sleepy eyes and quiet lavender-blue scales.

Personality

Moonwatcher described Coconut's mind as very shallow, not much deeper than Pyrite. He demonstrates stereotypical RainWing traits, such as being absent-minded, shallow, lazy, inconsiderate, forgetful, sleepy, and unintelligent. When Kinkajou was kidnapped by NightWings, Coconut did not notice or care. He also did not react when Kinkajou told him that he was not smart.

He was referred to as "a sloth masquerading as a dragon" by Qibli and "boring" by Moonwatcher. Moon also reported his thoughts to be "slow and meaningless," repeating the same dull phrases over and over again. In Winter Turning, Moon compares Coconut's mind to Pyrite's, saying it was not "much deeper," further emphasizing his meaningless thoughts. Moonwatcher noted that she might go mad if she had to listen to his mind any longer. He seems to think mostly about food, but in a boring way, and not much else.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

Coconut appeared when 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 didn't seem to realize or to have particularly cared that Kinkajou had been missing for several weeks, to which Kinkajou was deeply offended by. Glory ordered him to gather the RainWings for a meeting, and he attempted 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

Moon Rising

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 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 couldn't be scared of that "sloth masquerading as a dragon."

Darkness of Dragons

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

Relationships

Kinkajou

Coconut was mentioned to have taken gliding lessons with Kinkajou one year before The Hidden Kingdom. He did not notice Kinkajou's disappearance from the village or seemed to care and appears to disregard her attempts to reconstruct their friendship.

Marsh

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

Trivia

• Despite his name, he claims that he does not like coconuts. He likes mangoes and bananas, though.
