Koricoto is Orisha Oko’s brother. He is the orisha that is said to look after the crops when the sun is down. Due to the fact that the birds always come to pick at the growing crops. Koricoto is represented as the scarecrow that sits in the middle of the crops. He is also received and eats with his brother Orisha Oko.
His vessel lives alongside with his brother that contains his mysteries. His colors are green and red.

Children of Blood and Bone (The OrÏsha Legacy) (2018)
“Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers―and her growing feelings for an enemy.”
