Mr. Coconut

Mr. Coconut was a coconut with red paint for a smile and hair made of grass. He is a parody of Wilson the Volleyball from the movie Cast Away. He was created in Camp Castaways by Owen after he had a mental breakdown from being isolated from the other campers.

Total Drama Island
In Camp Castaways, Mr. Coconut was created by Owen after being separated away from the other campers. Only Owen communicates with him for relief from his madness that was brought on by 9 minutes of isolation. Owen's state of madness lasted nearly the entire episode, thereby sustaining his character. At the end of the episode, he is voted off then thrown onto the Dock of Shame by Chris because Owen's obsessive friendship was freaking him out. He then proceeds to bounce off the Dock of Shame and into the lake.

He later appeared in the next episode, during Chef's recap (how Mr. Coconut is retrieved from the lake is unknown, it is possible that he could have floated on shore and then Chef picked him up, or maybe Chef fished him out of the lake for purposeful use in his recap). Chef then slices him in half, and coconut milk from inside spills out, ending any chances of a reappearance and effectively rendering him dead. He is then seen in the recap of the recap the next episode.

Technically, he is the eighteenth contestant voted off because he was voted off in place of an actual competitor because Chris and the other campers were freaked out by Owen's obsessive friendship with him, and technically, he walked off the Dock of Shame.

Total Drama Action
Because he had been theoretically "killed,” and never appeared in the special, and Owen has been eliminated before he could make another, it didn't seem like Mr. Coconut would return. However, Mr. Coconut was briefly seen at the end of One Million Bucks, B.C. as Chris' cup. However, it was only shown to be the top half of him. This may be because he was chopped in half by Chef in an earlier episode. He is not shown again for the rest of the series.

Audition tape
Strangely, he has an audition despite the fact that he was not even created until Camp Castaways, which took place very late in the competition. However, Chris or Chef could have possibly made the video after the episode as a joke. The tape shows him sitting by the sea shore on a beach chair until he eventually rolls off.

Trivia

 * Mr. Coconut is the only contestant in the first season to never have a team affiliation. When it was created by Owen, a Screaming Gopher, the teams had long since dissolved at the time of its creation. Blainely shares this trait in Total Drama World Tour.
 * It was the first and only inanimate object to walk the Dock of Shame.
 * It was shown being cut in half by Chef Hatchet in the opening of Are We There Yeti? despite being thrown into Lake Wawanakwa in the previous episode, effectively rendering it dead and making it the only contestant to technically die.
 * It has been in the least episodes of any contestant in the Total Drama Series, only being in four episodes: Camp Castaways, the recap of Are We There Yeti?, the recap of I Triple Dog Dare You!, and was seen being drank out of by Chris at the end of One Million Bucks, B.C..
 * In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, a Total Drama Action counterpart of it can be seen in Harold's snail, Leshawna Jr.
 * It is the one of the only two entirely new "contestants" to debut halfway through a season, as every other returning character had been eliminated before being re-introduced. The other being Blaineley.
 * In Rapa Phooey!, Alejandro finds a coconut in the mouth of Owen's statue. This may be a reference or tribute to Mr. Coconut.
