The Keen Coyote shares a secret channel with the other coyotes and can perceive players each night to determine whether they have a threatening presence.

The Keen Coyote cannot see a player’s role, but they can check whether or not they are a threat. Lycans, and roles classified as killing roles have a threatening presence. The inspection is an immediate ability and is affected by strong disguises and redirections. The Keen Coyote knows the identity of the other coyotes and shares a channel with them. The Keen Coyote is not a lycan, nor are they a member of the wolfpack. When the last original greater coyote dies, the coyotes' channel is disbanded and the Keen Coyote joins the wolfpack.
