Story

Kingdom Hearts II

First Visit

Kingdom Hearts II lays host to the story of Scar's rule over the Pride Lands. Scar teams up with Pete to control the Heartless as a way to rule the kingdom with discipline. Scar is the King of the Pride Lands, and when he first meets Sora, Donald, and Goofy at Pride Rock, he wishes to eat them, as there is little food in the Pride Land because of his rather shoddy treatment of them. The trio escape and convince Simba to return to Pride Rock.

When this occurs, an overconfident Scar reveals the truth about Mufasa's death, enraging Simba and prompting him to chase after his murderous uncle. While Sora, Donald, Goofy, Timon and Pumbaa hold off the Hyenas, Simba fights Scar at the top of Pride Rock. Sora and co. arrive in time to watch Simba throw the pretender to the throne off the cliff, but Pete arrives and tells them that because of the anger and jealousy within his heart, Scar has become a Heartless. A battle ensues as Scar climbs back up to the peak, with Sora and the gang victorious.

Second Visit

In the second visit to the Pride Lands, Scar appears as a dark ghost which haunts Simba, taunting him and saying he will never be a true king. The ghost lives as long as Simba has doubt in his heart. Eventually Simba retreats to the oasis in the jungle, but Scar's ghost confronts him there as well. With the help of Sora, Donald and Goofy. Simba stood up to the ghost and it disappeared. The victory was short-lived however when Timon arrived and told them that Scar's ghosts were all over the Pride Lands and everyone but Nala had escaped. The group returned to the Pride Lands and Simba saved Nala from the ghost.

Immediately afterward, all of the ghost's merged in the savannah and became the enormous Groundshaker Heartless. Sora and Simba fought the giant Heartless and emerged victorious, the ghost of Scar finally gone.

Appearance

Scar is an adult lion with brown fur and a thick, dark brown mane. The fur on his belly, the bottoms of his paws, and around his mouth is light tan. There are short tufts of dark brown fur on the back of each of his front legs, as well as on on the tip of his tail, and he has sharp, dark brown claws. Scar's name obviously refers to the scar he has over his left eye. His eyes are green and his sclera are yellow, while his eyebrows are the same color as his mane, dark brown. He has a widow's peak and his large, round ears are partially visible through his mane. He has ten dark whiskers, five on either side of his upper lip. The fur on Scar's chin is rather long and somewhat resembles a beard.

Origin

Scar first appeared in the 1994 film The Lion King. Just like in Kingdom Hearts II, Scar is Simba's evil uncle and the king of the Pride Lands after Mufasa's death. When Simba returns to the Pride Lands and admits that he is the one responsible for Mufasa's death, Scar tries to kill him by making him fall of Pride Rock. Before making him fall down, Scar tells Simba that not Simba, but Scar is the one responsible for Mufasa's death. Simba climbs back and forces Scar to confess that he was the one who killed Mufasa. After that, Scar and Simba start fighting. Eventually, Scar falls down where he is killed by the hyenas who used to be allied with him. Although he is gone, Scar's demise eventually comes back to haunt Simba several years later when he and his family are threatened by Scar's mate, Zira.
