Sorry if this has been posted before, but I just wanted to pst this to see other peoples theories about what coco is.
I don't really know myself, maybe a gyroid or something, or the name coco could suggest a coconut?
She was once an ordinary coconut until one fateful Halloween night when an unsuspecting villager brought her in from the shore to use as a jack-o-lantern. Jack saw her and being the mischief maker that he is decided to bring her to life.
... I should write a fanfic.
In the first game you could get that face, I think they were just looking for another way to bring that gyroid buddy back into the game that you can actually talk to! So instead of working and just sitting there, you can communicate to a mutant gyroid!
She's from a far-off land where they wear masks that cover their faces. She's actually a completely normal talking rabbit that walks on two feet, and she only looks that way because of the mask.
When I was younger, I used to think she was a cookie and that her eyes and mouth were big chocolate chips. XD Of course, even with the belief that she's a gyroid and technically dead, I still like to think she's a cookie.
Yeah Coco is a normal little rabbit from an tribal island. She wears a coconut mask with the eyes and the mouth cut out. It wasnt uncommon for ancient tribes to wear creepy masks, especially not ones made out of coconuts!
well you see she forgot to save when she was on the island back in the old days
and she opened up her game and saw that her once normal rabbit face now had the face of a gyroid
and she was forever forced to live out her entire life with the hollowed out face.
