Coco people

The Cocos (sometimes Coconut people or just Coconuts) are one of number of people native to Mystery Island. They are depicted as having coconut endocarps for heads, with the germination pores seen on coconuts adapted to act as eyes and mouth, and sometimes face paint. Earlier incarnations of Cocos were shown with short arms and legs sticking out from around the head, although later portrayals show Cocos with no arms and large feet, closely resembling a Coconut Jubjub.

Culture

Some of the Coco people were shown to worship an island deity known as Mumbo Pango and helped to sacrifice staff members to him as part of the early Sacrificers plot. While it has been suggested that Cocos and other island natives practice cannibalism (in the item description of a stamp, the Mystery Island page, and on related trading cards), some Cocos are encountered friendlily on the Island, such as the Tiki Tour Guide.

Trivia

• As of October 2008, Cocos have been featured in several pieces of Island Merchandise - such as the the Island Lighter, Coconut Keyring, and Official Coconut Mask. They are also featured on a stamp.
