I'm ready, too. Many of my herd were killed in that same attack. ―Muwa recounts an army ant attack

Biography

Early life

Muwa lived in the Pride Lands. She survived an army ant attack that killed many members of her herd.

Army ant attack

“

Do we have to include the ostriches? They have such a short attention span. ―Muwa, as she plots with Nzee and Pembe

”

Muwa and her son, Sukari, joined in on gossip at a water hole. While the children went off to play, she, Nzee, and Pembe stayed behind to discuss the kingdom's troublesome majordomo, Zazu. When Pembe suggested they call together a council of animals, Muwa asked for the ostriches to not be included.

Later, Muwa helped defend the Pride Lands from an army ant attack, claiming that the same type of creature had once killed zebras in her herd. When the attack was over, the young animals confessed to Mufasa that they had been framing Zazu for lying to the king. Muwa was furious with her son, but Mufasa instructed the children to help Zazu gather news in order to correct their earlier mistakes.

Physical appearance

Muwa is long-bodied, slender, and sturdily built. Her pelt is striped with black and white, and her mane is bi-colored and short-cropped. One of her ears is black, while the other is white. She has black eyes.

What kind of trouble? What have you been up to? ―Muwa to Sukari
