Pumbaa



Pumbaa is a warthog living in the Pride Lands. He only appears in Kingdom Hearts II.

He grew up in the Oasis with Timon and Simba, and together lived a worry-free life until Nala found Simba and tried to convince him to go back to the Pride Lands with her. With the help of Sora, Donald and Goofy, he and Timon pull together their courage to help fight Scar's hyena army.

He usually has a very little heart and is not much of a fighter, but whenever his friends need help, he would do anything in his strength to help, even when fear is overwhelming him.

Pumbaa and Timon often say the motive Hakuna Mattata, which means no worries.

First Visit
Pumbaa is not seen until much later in the first visit, and has very few lines throughout. The only things worth noteing are his almost-being-eaten by Nala, and his capture by the Hyenas Shenzi, Banzai and Ed.

At the end of the final cutscene, he is shown to be quite nervous due to Timon's comment: "What if he[Simba] forgets to tell the predators who we are?" with Pumbaa shortly responding apprehensvely, "Yeah, and- I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOMEONE'S PORK DIIIIINNNNEEERR!" finishing in a panic and running off in a dash.

Second Visit
Pumbaa is scarcely seen in the second visit, and mostly only plays a role of hinting where you should go next. However, in the end, Pumbaa adds onto Timon's "Live for today" words by saying: "And put you past behind you!", moving in a carefree, joyous trot.
