Koana will save the hhetso

[glassflower]

Is he, though? Is anyone in Dawntrail?
I dare anyone to point out one moment where we actually SEE him being smart. Not solving things off-screen and hearing about it later, not suddenly turning up with a solution to a problem from somewhere, not characters saying "Koana is smart". Actually doing or saying something that shows us he is smart.

Or better yet, try to do the same with any supposedly smart character in Dawntrail.

For 'anyone', I'll raise you Erenville. His emotional intelligence toward animals as well as knowing their habits and patterns is undeniably a mark of his intelligence that we see repeatedly throughout 7.0 and the patch. As for Koana, I can agree that we don't see his moments on screen, though I'd venture he's pretty intelligent just by, I dunno, the whole fact we're meant to give suspension of disbelief to the fact that he's able to use the abilities we see in the instance.
