==Appearance and personalityPersonality==
Kokerlii has bright red and green plumage.{{book ref|sixth}} He appears to be of a typical size for Aviar, which is "three fists tall" (approximately ten to twelve inches).{{book ref|sixth}} Kokerlii and [[Sak]] are Dusk's primary companions.{{book ref|sixth}} Dusk is highly attuned to the behavior of his birds and is usually able to ascertain their emotions through their chirps, bites, and body language. Kokerlii chirps often and generally has a happy disposition; Dusk characterizes him as "oblivious".{{book ref|sixth}} Like other Aviar raised by humans, Kokerlii always stays relatively close to his master and would not "fit in" with wild Aviar.{{book ref|sixth}}

Dusk breedsbred Aviar and it is likely that he raised Kokerlii from birth, although trappers also care for the Aviar of their dead peers.{{book ref|sixth}} Kokerlii hashad a nesting box in Dusk's [[safecamp]], where he keepskept the rest of his Aviar.{{book ref|sixth}} Kokerlii's talent iswas highly desirable to trappers in the Pantheon, and Dusk bringsbrought Kokerlii everywhere he goeswent. Kokerlii may have had some understanding of his role, as Dusk notesnoted that he givesgave an "apologetic chirp" after a nightmaw findsfound and attacksattacked them.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
Kokerlii accompaniesaccompanied Dusk and [[Vathi]] on a dangerous nighttime trip through the jungle.{{book ref|sixth}} At one point Dusk believesbelieved he willwould have to sacrifice himself to a nightmaw and triestried to give Kokerlii to Vathi, but an alternate plan iswas devised and Kokerlii remainsremained with Dusk.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
==Attributes and Abilities==
Dusk has not clipped Kokerlii's wings and he is able to fly.{{book ref|sixth}} Since Kokerlii serves as one of Dusk's companion Aviar, the two of them share a unique bond comparable to the [[Nahel bond]].{{wob ref|11628}} Dusk has trained Kokerlii to return to him when he whistles.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
As an Aviar, Kokerlii gained a magical "talent" by visiting [[Patji's Eye]] when he was young.{{book ref|sixth}} He has the ability to conceal all mental activity in his immediate vicinity.{{book ref|sixth}} This is extremely useful to Dusk because many predators on Patji (such as [[deepwalker]]s, [[deathant]]s, [[nightmaw]]s, and [[tuskrun]]) can hunt by sensing thoughts.{{book ref|sixth}} Dusk notes that the power weakens as Kokerlii moves farther away.{{book ref|sixth}} This ability has similarities to [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[copper]]{{wob ref|9437}}{{wob ref|1556}} and other powers in the [[cosmere]],{{wob ref|8897}} meaning Kokerlii would be able to conceal some types of [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|9437}}{{wob ref|7436}}
