–Male Mongoose to Kion, Bunga the Wise | ||
Male Mongoose is a mongoose who lives in the Pride Lands.
Appearance[]
Male Mongoose bears a typical resemblance to his own kind. He has a long, slender body covered in light brown fur. His legs are covered with a dark brown, and this brown can also be seen at the tip of his long tail, back stripes and covering part of his muzzle. Surrounding his eyes is a beige coloring. His eyes are brown with dark brown eyebrows. His inner ears are pink and his hair is spiked at the top. He has two sharp teeth, one on either side, which protrude from his lower jaw. His nose is red.
Personality[]
Male Mongoose is somewhat gullible, and will believe anything that he is told as seen in Bunga the Wise. He will defend others based solely on what he has heard.[1]
He, like many creatures in the Pride Lands, will run from danger at the first sight.[2] With a bit of persuading though, he might consider sticking around to help.[3]
History[]
Bunga the Wise[]
Later, he tours the Pride Lands with Bunga, Timon, Pumbaa and a group of other animals whilst singing Make Way for Bunga the Wise. When Kion tries to stop Bunga from offering advice, the Mongoose sticks up for Bunga, reminding him that Rafiki told them that he was the wisest in all the Pride Lands. Suddenly, a dam holding Lake Kaziwa back breaks apart, causing the waters to flood over the Pride Lands. The mongoose flees, and once the flood calms, he is seen perched peacefully on a rock.
Can't Wait to be Queen[]
Male Mongoose is seen briefly with four other mongooses during Duties of the King, where Simba coaches them on their bite. They mimic him after he bites the air.
