Coyote is a major protagonist and the leader of the sect of The Neutrals seen in the story. Known for his long time rivalries with the Road Runner and later Demaro, Coyote is a formidable necromantic sorcerer and possibly the most powerful and intelligent Neutral in the setting.
History
Early Life
For an indeterminate amount of time, Coyote spent a portion of his life trying to kill the Roadrunner and later joined an out-of-town church that was secretly a front for Kelic's sect of Neutrals. Eventually, he joined his friends Fudd, Porky, Tom and Sylvester in a party at a pub. Though he was drunk, he attended a ceremony with his friends wherein the group was granted the powers of the Neutrals. In the morning, he and his friends woke up and soon discovered their new abilities. After gathering his friends, he attempted to restore Porky's moral and nearly succeeded.
Porky's wife, along with their child, arrived to forgive and apologize to Porky for both of their respective actions. However, she and her child were shot by a murderously zealous Christian, causing Porky to commit suicide via strangulation using his strings and a tree despite Coyote and co.'s attempts to calm him down. Later that night Coyote watches as Tom and Fudd's lifespans are shortened due to their emotions and unwillingness to use their powers respectively.
No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpaid
After presumably practicing his powers as a neutral, Coyote resumed hunting the Roadrunner until he was contacted by Shadow and the Troll Slaiyers, as they lacked the monetary and material resources to build the stadium for the fake Justen Bever concert needed for the Awesome Fucking Plan. Though he was reluctant at first, he changed his mind when Shadow agreed to kill the Roadrunner. Though they made a well-thought out plan to kill the bird, it ended up failing. However, it mattered not because Shadow killed the Roadrunner himself.
Satisfied with Shadow's actions, Coyote held up his part of the bargain and helped with both supplying resources and building the base. After this, Coyote left; saying that he wanted to "Go home and take me a bite out of some road runner". Later, Coyote and his friends arrived at the concert, only to find that Fudd was missing from their ranks. Sylvester revealed that Fudd had wondered off to kill Bugs. The Neutrals observed the battle, but were not able to partake in it due to them wanting to maintain emotional neutrality.
Though he had been gone for six chapters, his role as a major character began when Silver, Blaze and Rob barely escaped (at the cost of the lives of Underbite Troll and Markus Troll City after being chased out. As the group was rightfully confused by Fudd's necromantic powers, Coyote explained to the group why they were capable of such feats. After at least two days of planning, the Neutrals and their allies stormed Troll City to save Elmer Fudd. On the way, Coyote briefly joined in Tom and Sylvester's argument about watching porn before being interrupted by the Trolls.
Rescuing Fudd and the Battle with Demaro
The first thing Coyote did to fight the Trolls was distract them with a riddle while Silver trapped and crushed some Trolls with a huge cage. Coyote decided it would be the best course of action to separate his group into two: The Neutrals and Rob (lead by himself), who would infiltrate the base and attempt to rescue Fudd. The second group was the duo of Silver and Blaze, who would stay to torment, guard and if necessary kill the Trolls. The assault was going well, with several trolls killed. However, the Neutral's streak of luck would end when Sylvester was killed by Troll Face, Rob got locked into a fight with Hindo and Coyote got locked into a fight with Demaro.
Luckily, Fudd was in the process of rescuing himself using the corpse of Luigi and its abilities. For an unknown period of time, Coyote fought against Demaro and his Guardian. The fight started in the building in which Fudd was being contained but was later scattered across Troll City. Though Demaro occasionally had the upper hand through the use of traps, his Guardian and Satanic powers, Coyote nearly killed him on several occasions and even poisoned him with the Yin Yang Serpends. Coyote expressed shame over the fact that he had to kill him and would have preferred to make him into his apprentice, but went along with the fight anyways. Demaro assumed an enhanced form that killed several of his former Troll allies, but was stopped by a combination of Coyote's brilliant tactical and strategical mind plus the indirect help of the Trolls such as Sonichu.
Coyote was about to trap Demaro within a magical book, however, due to the interference of the eldritch being known as Miladox, he was drawn into another dimension by the beast.
Another Dimension
During his brief tenure in his book, Coyote encountered the spirits of Garry and Kelic amongst a few others. Using assistance from Miladox and Kelic, Coyote defeated Demaro.
Personality
Coyote is a smug yet charming individual, no longer showing the stress present in his source material. He is much more charismatic and competent than before. Despite him being his enemy, Coyote respected Roadrunner very much. He felt guilt over the fact that he could not persuade Porky nor Demaro to join him. When compared to Shadow or Knuckles, he is a much more competent strategist and tactician. This could have to do with the fact that he is not as reckless as they are and despite him trying to remain emotional neutrality, sympathizes with his team and tries to resolve internal conflicts (such as when Tom and Sylvester argue over porn).
Coyote's smug appearance does vanish under extreme circumstances as shown with his battle against Miladox, where he expresses fear and levels of panic not seen before. He does manage to compose himself quickly and formulates a strategy to win in the end.
Real Life Origins
Coyote is the archnemesis of the Road Runner in a Looney Tunes series titled Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. He creates elaborate plans and schemes to attempt to kill and eat the Road Runner but is unsuccesful each time.
Differences
Despite him being less aggressive and more charismatic, Coyote is perhaps one of the more source-accurate characters in TGT. He still uses explosives and elaborate contraptions and is also very wealthy. His tools and wealth might have to do with ACME, however there is nothing supporting or ruling out the existence of the organization in the universe of Tails Gets Trolled. Most importantly, he never catches the Roadrunner; instead relying on the Troll Slaiyers to help him.
Very much like Elmer Fudd, he is not a necromancer in his original franchise.
Trivia
- The tuft of hair on Coyote's head between his ears grew larger and changed shape starting in Chapter 22. It is not known if this happened canonically or was simply a retcon.
