Coatl
CharacterCoatl, a comet featured in the Sailor Moon stage shows, plays into the Kaguya Island storyline. Envious that the Solar System outshines it, the comet steers toward a collision with Earth, and only Princess Serenity's intervention prevents a direct hit.
Appearance
Coatl is not a person but a comet streaking through the musical's sky. Its name comes from Nahuatl, the language in which the word means serpent.
Personality
The stage story hands the comet a bitter, envious streak. It cannot abide that the worlds of the Solar System shine more brilliantly than it does.
History
Driven by that resentment, the comet hurls itself toward Earth, bent on a collision. Princess Serenity steps in and bends its orbit aside to avert the catastrophe, but the rescue is not without cost: the altered course still whips up a colossal tidal wave, and that flood drowns the earthly kingdom of Artuka.
