ABOUT COCOA

Appearance

Cocoa is a light brown chocolate bunny Toon with a brown heart-shaped nose and brown-tinted cheeks. She has two sets of two eyelashes beneath each eye and a darker brown chocolate drizzle running between her eyes. Her ears are long, floppy, and dark on the inside, tied together with a white scrunchie to form something like a ponytail. She features a white tail and a collar of white fluff around her neck that appears to be made of whipped cream. Her arms and legs gradually darken from light brown to a deeper brown toward the paws, which are dark brown and heart-shaped.

Personality

Cocoa is a warm, lively, and cheerful Toon who consistently goes out of her way to assist those around her. She firmly believes that every Toon deserves help, even the "wrong" types, whether they ask for it or not. As shown in an interaction with Eggson, she frequently overextends herself in her eagerness to be useful. In some exchanges, she even insists on offering help before eventually stepping back. She demonstrates strong persistence in standing by her beliefs. In her conversations with Bassie, Cocoa continues to regard Bassie as a friend, seemingly unaware of the resentment and jealousy Bassie harbors toward her.

STRATEGIES
With her above-average Movement Speed and Stealth, Cocoa is built to function as a support Toon rather than a pure distractor or extractor. Her Ability, BonBon, lets her drop small power-ups that provide either an Extraction Speed or Movement Speed boost to whoever picks them up. Strategically placing BonBons near players working on Machines with slow Extraction Speed, or dropping them in the path of low-mobility Toons being chased, can make a significant difference for your team. Surplus BonBons that nobody needs immediately can be left for a Sprout or Ginger to collect, helping them accumulate Tapes for their Abilities. In general, distributing BonBons near Machines and across the map benefits both teammates and Cocoa herself. Keep in mind that Cocoa can also consume her own BonBons. Using Extraction Speed BonBons on herself helps compensate for her slower extraction rate, speeding up Floor progression. The speed boost BonBons grant an effect equivalent to Speed Candy but lasting twice as long, which aids in outrunning pursuers, particularly when combined with her already strong mobility stats. This can also help Cocoa conserve Stamina, which is important given her below-average Stamina capacity. Despite her Stealth stat, Cocoa can serve as a capable distractor when using speed boost BonBons. She can place BonBons along her route and consume them to gain distance from faster Twisteds, counteract the Slow Debuff, or escape during Panic Mode. To distract effectively, consider joining rounds with multiple high-Stealth Toons (4 Stars and above), as this makes it easier to draw Twisted attention, and equip standard distractor Trinkets like Dog Plush and Speedy Shoes or Train Whistle.
TRIVIA
  • Cocoa is the second bipedal Toon with non-plantigrade legs and feet, preceded by Rudie and followed by Eclipse.
  • Originally, Cocoa could spawn an unlimited number of BonBons simultaneously, but this was changed in v0.8.4 to a cap of 10 BonBons per floor.
  • This limit was introduced to prevent players from flooding a single Floor with excessive BonBons to farm Tapes or Machines, and to stop them from arranging BonBons into inappropriate drawings or messages.
  • BonBons are established as Cocoa's favorite treats, referenced through her dialogue lines, her Active Ability, and her exchange with Cosmo.
  • The friendship between Cocoa and Bassie is notably complicated. Bassie acts cold toward Cocoa despite Cocoa's consistent friendliness, as seen in their shared dialogue.
  • This tension stems from Bassie's hidden jealousy, fueled by Delilah's apparent preference for Cocoa as the Easter Main Character.
  • Cocoa and Yatta may be friends, supported by a Mastery quest requiring survival of 20 Floors with Yatta and their friendly interactions with each other.
  • During their interaction, Yatta mentions wanting to eat Cocoa, believing her to be made of actual chocolate.
  • Cocoa is the first and only non-Main Character Toon to have a plush version of herself visible on the Easter Floor, possibly because Delilah had intended her to become the Easter Main Character.
  • She is also the first non-Main Character to receive an official real-life plush.
  • Like Dandy, Rudie, and Bobette, Cocoa has a noticeably chubbier build than most Toons, making her the third canonically chubby character.
  • Converting Cocoa from 2D art to a 3D model was among the most difficult for the developers, primarily due to her snout. Coal presented similar challenges. It reportedly took more than 7 to 9 attempts to properly model Cocoa's snout.
  • Her Active Ability is labeled "Bonbon" in the Lobby and Bassie's Store. A previous bug in the Elevator intermission screen displayed it as "Chocolate Bunny," which has since been corrected.
  • Her name references the cacao seed used to produce chocolate, fitting for a character designed as a chocolate Easter bunny.
  • Cocoa is the first Toon whose Mastery challenges do not require using her Active Ability. Although one quest involves eating 35 BonBons, another Cocoa player can spawn one for you, technically making her Mastery completable without ever activating the Ability. The Blind Grab and Lost and Found Cards offer another route, though this method is far less reliable due to RNG and limited uses per run.
  • Her official voice actor is Toastymarshmellow, who performs her part in the song Wilting. This makes Cocoa the fifth Holiday Toon (alongside Bassie) to have an official voice actor, after the three Christmas Toons (excluding Coal).
  • She was the first Non-Main Toon to receive a Security Recording without any other Toons present in the scene.
  • It is suggested that Cocoa indirectly contributed to Bassie's transformation into her Twisted form. Cocoa's widespread popularity and visibility are thought to have amplified Bassie's deep-seated fear of being replaced, as depicted in the Wilting music video. Conversely, Bassie could potentially be connected to Cocoa's own Twisted transformation, though evidence for this is minimal beyond the ending scene of Wilting and Cocoa's seemingly injured state.
