[edit] Info

Mufasa is a large powerful male lion. He is the father of Simba, the mate of Sarabi, and the older brother of Scar. He is son of Ahadi and Uru, and the king of the pridelands in the begining of the movie. Mufasa is wise and caring, often portryed as the ideal king and wishes to pass those traits down to Simba. Mufasa tells Simba about the great kings of the past after saving Nala and Simba from Scar's Hyenas. Since Scar's first plan fails, he comes up with a new plan: to kill Mufasa and to scare Simba off for his hyena's to chase down and kill. After setting his son safely on a ledge; Mufasa is carried off into the stampede, but jumps up climbing the ledge to save himself. When he reaches the top he pleads for his brothers help before Scar pierces Mufasa's paws with his claws, saying "Long live the king." Scar then throws Mufasa in the stampede. Mufasa is seen again when Rafiki explains that 'He lives in you' and before Simba claims his kingship he can be heard saying "Remember..."

Mufasa only makes two appearances in Simba's Pride. Once during Kiara's presentation, and the last time in Simba's nightmare. He also says " Well done my son. We are one!" at the end of Simba's pride.
