A [[Cunning Like a Fox|fox]]-[[Our Demons Are Different|demon]] under Antimony's thrall. He's capable of [[Demonic Possession|possessing]] [[Magic aA Is Magic A|anything with]] [[Body Motifs|eyes]], and can [[Body Surf]] from host to host. He's also a killer: [[Blessed with Suck|every time he takes a new body, his old host dies]].
 
Formerly, he was the [[Trickster]]-[[Animal Stereotypes|fox]] Renard. Though hailing from Gillitie wood, he was a friend of humans. He changed his name to Reynardine because of his love towards a human, and Coyote gave him his body-snatching powers. Though unhappy with the cost of his body-snatching, he proceeded with his plan anyway -- killing a young man from the Court, and subsequently getting imprisoned there.
Line 247:
* [[Jerkass]] / [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He's [[Zig-Zagging Trope|a little hard to pin down]]. He was moody and quite obnoxious when he found out his escape from the prison only brought him slavery. Later, he adapted and mostly became Annie's self-appointed guardian and [[Parental Substitute]], though just as eager to embarrass (or frighten) people. Also, it looks like [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=476 everything linked with Surma] is still almost sacred for him.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Rey's [[Demonic Possession]] follows specific rules, and he's able to occupy a toy simply because it has eyes; it's implied that the same is true of all magic. For example, in order to take a new body, [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11980 his/her/its eyes have to be open].
* [[Not So Different]]: Jones [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=743 calls him out] on constantly referring to Zimmy as a "demon", stating that it is merely a label for something that is feared and misunderstood, and one which has been applied to himself as well.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Sometimes he's like this, though not always. And sometimes it looked like he had the same [[Unbalanced by Rival's Kid|problem]] as James Eglamore, but solved it much quicker.
Line 820:
* [[Jerkass]]: Don't be fooled by Coyote's jolly attitude. He's still not above putting someone's life in danger for a prank and then laughing about it afterwards. Not surprising, given that he's one of the original [[Trickster|Tricksters]]. Of course he's incredibly powerful, so odds are they are not in too much danger.
* [[Large Ham]]: When he's in the mood. Which he very often is.
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Among other things, when he gives away powers to others, he '''literally''' gives them away; unable to use them until he decides to take them back. See also [[Power At a Price]] below.
* [[The Mad Hatter]]: Being a god and all, he has an excuse.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: He seems to shout ''everything,'' and only lowered his voice when he accidentally depressed Annie by bringing up her mother. Though it makes sense for him to have no indoor voice, since he's hardly ever indoors.
