The cocobloxian is a member of the Robloxian family and the only living member of the Robloxian family of the genus Cocos. The term "cocobloxian" refers to the robloxian, which botanically is drupe-torsoed, not nut-torsoed. The name comes from the old Ro-Portuguese word coco, meaning "head" or "skull", after the three indentations on the cocobloxian shell that resemble facial features and the word bloxian. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics. It appears to be a small egg with a face on it labeled "Vita".
