Trivia
- The first hint of this animal was a rock etched upside-down with the word "Canidae", which is the taxonomic classification for the family of the species Canis Latrans (the Coyote).
- The play action is supposed to resemble a dog chasing its own tail.
- The Western Collection was released in the Diamond Shop to celebrate the arrival of the coyote.
- When a Royal Cape is worn on a Coyote, it appears with a snowflake pattern instead of the default pattern.
- When a Sunlight Tail Ornament is worn, it changes the coyote's color to blue and yellow, with no eyes. The inner ear color is orange.
- When Rainbow Armor is worn on a coyote, the entire garment turns into a matte brown color that flashes on and off (about once a second) between the normal default rainbow color scheme and the glitched brown.
- When a Fox Hat is worn on a coyote it appears as a Fluffy Fox Head, however, it keeps the colors of the Fox Hat
- If a coyote wears a headdress, black long, and a worn, the whole look gets deleted and replaced with a head flower. This means you lose the headdress, black long, worn, and coyote.
