Nut Highleaf is a male baboon of the Dawntrees Troop and the former rival of Thorn and Mud. He was exiled from Brightforest Troop for being thought to poison Grub Crownleaf, but he was re-accepted after his innocence was proven by Thorn. He later becomes good friends to Thorn, Mud, and Spider.
Appearance[]
Nut is a big and brutish baboon with a heavy forehead and long limbs. He has a brownish pelt with yellow eyes. His fur begins to gray at the age of thirteen.[1]
Personality[]
Nut is shown to be an aggressive baboon who bullies Thorn and Mud a lot, especially in the presence of a crowd. He will go as far as cheating to achieve his goals, which is shown as he stole Mud's egg to become a Lowleaf. He threw rocks at the crocodiles to prevent the other baboons from completing a Feat and becoming Middleleaves. After his exile, however, he (although initially reluctantly) allies with Thorn and flees with him when Stinger sends his Strongbranches after them. Nut also develops a newfound respect for Thorn while the two are living in exile.
