Sabor is a large leopard with a slender, yet muscular build. He has yellow fur; the fur around his mouth, on the bottoms of his paws, on his stomach, and on the tip of his tail is white. Sabor's head and legs have black spots on them, and his back and shoulders sport yellow-orange spots with black outlines. Sabor's eyes are yellow, and he has six long, black whiskers; there are three on each side of his upper lip. Protruding from Sabor's paws are sharp black claws.

Sabor appears in Walt Disney's 1999 animated feature, ''Tarzan'', where she is a female rather than a male in ''Kingdom Hearts''. In the beginning of the film, she hunts down and kills [[Kerchak]] and [[Kala]]'s young son before going on to murder Tarzan's parents in a tree house while Tarzan is an infant. When Kala finds the baby Tarzan in the tree house, Sabor attacks them, but gets her foot caught on the ropes lowering a rowboat and is hoisted up into the air, leaving her dangling from the top of the tree house while Kala escapes with Tarzan and raises him as her adoptive son.
Sabor first appeared in Walt Disney's 1999 animated feature, ''Tarzan''. While described as male in ''Kingdom Hearts'', the movie does not indicate Sabor's gender, and an interview on the movie with the supervisory animator, {{w|Dominique Monféry}}, refers to Sabor as female. In the beginning of the film, she hunts and kills [[Kerchak]] and [[Kala]]'s young son. She then goes on to murder the infant Tarzan's parents. Before Sabor is able to kill Tarzan as well, Kala comes to the baby's rescue.  


Many years later, after Tarzan has grown into a man, Sabor attacks him and his gorilla family at their nest. In an attempt to protect the other gorillas, Kerchak fights the fearsome leopard, but is overpowered until Tarzan joins in the battle and fights Sabor. During the fight, the two plunge into a pit, where Sabor is finally killed by getting impaled on the head by Tarzan's spear when the ape-man raised it against the leopard. Tarzan then calls out his famous ape-man cry as he lifts up Sabor's corpse before presenting the leopard's dead body to Kerchak in a show of respect.
