'Coconut' is a male RainWing dragonet who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The
Hidden Kingdom. He currently attends Jade Mountain Academy as a member
of the Copper Winglet and is the clawmate of Marsh.

## Description

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

## Personality

He demonstrates stereotypical RainWing traits such as laziness and
carelessness. Qibli referred to him as "a sloth masquerading as a
dragon" and "the slowest, least threatening dragon in the world." He is
often focused on food and not much else. Moonwatcher described his
thoughts as "slow and meaningless," and thought that she might go mad if
she had to listen to his mind all day long. She compared his mind to
Pyrite's, saying that it was shallow and not much deeper than hers. He
is also ignorant.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Hidden Kingdom

Coconut was first introduced after Kinkajou and Glory returned from the
prisons in the NightWing island|NightWing volcano. The duo flew over to
the Rainforest Kingdom|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

#### 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 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."

#### Winter Turning

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.

#### Darkness of Dragons

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

### Kinkajou

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.

### Marsh

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.

## 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.

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?
