During Sora's second visit, Timon is first seen encouraging Simba, who still has some self-doubts about becoming the new king. Later, at the Oasis, Timon notifies Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Simba of the numerous [[ghosts of Scar]] that are haunting the Pride Lands. Pumbaa protects Nala from Scar's ghost up on Pride Rock, despite being frightened by the apparition. After the defeat of the [[Groundshaker]], he is present for Sora's second departure from the world.

==Design==
Timon is a small {{w|meerkat}} with light tan fur over most of his body, save for the front, which has white fur. The tips of his toes, his fingers, half of his tail, and his large nose are all brown. The ridges of his ears and his "eyebrows" are dark red and his eyes are brown. He also has light brown rings around his eyes. Timon's ears point downward and he has an unexplained, short, spiky head of orange "hair" on the top of his head. His back sports several horizontal, grey stripes. Timon's forearms are unnaturally thin, particularly when compared to the size of his hands. The fur on his chest and elbows is ruffled.
Pumbaa is a {{w|common warthog}} with light tan fur and dark red cloven hooves. His belly is grey and his eyes are brown. True to his species, Pumbaa sports two large, ivory tusks jutting out of either side of his mouth. The tips of these tusks curve upwards sharply. Pumbaa has a large, flat snout which is pink at the front. His ears are set just behind each of his eyes. He has a very large mouth and a pink tongue. Finally, Pumbaa sports a tuft of shaggy brown hair on the tip of his tail and on the top of his head, the latter creating a mohawk-like mane.

Line 46: Line 51:


Pumbaa has a lax and carefree life, much due to the philosophy of ''Hakuna Matata'', that he can be perceived as ignorant or passive. This is not the case, however, as most of his ideas are quite genius and/or helpful. As for passivity, Pumbaa will only excuse actions until they affect his friends. When that happens, he will charge to protect and help them. This is seen during the end of the first visit, when Pumbaa bravely fights, and pummels the hyenas in a fit of rage. Pumbaa disapproves of anyone call him a "pig", and becomes enraged whenever someone does.

==Origin==
==Origin==
Timon and Pumbaa originate from the 1994 film ''{{w|The Lion King}}''. After running away from the Pride Lands, a young, unconscious Simba collapses from heat exhaustion in  the desert, where he was discovered by Timon and Pumbaa. Although Timon initially refuse Pumbaa's suggestion to take the young cub under their wing in fear that Simba might eat them, he agrees to take Simba in after Pumbaa persuaded him. After Simba awakened and introductions were made, Timon and Pumbaa spent the next few years teaching Simba their lifestyle in the jungle and their "Hakuna Matata" philosophy. When Simba's childhood friend, Nala, reunites with Simba, Timon and Pumbaa learn that Simba is the rightful heir to the Pride Lands, which was being ruled by Simba's villainous uncle, Scar.
