Fluffy is the placeholder name for Simba's and Nala's newborn cub. After the release of The Lion King in 1994, the cub became a very popular object of speculation for the fandom. The film's content itself doesn't say anything about the cub apart from its outside appearance. No true name or gender is given. In 1994, a few months after the film was released, a book series was published, titled The Lion King: Six New Adventures. It became one of the most popular book series inspired by the film, but it was quite unknown elsewhere outside America, because it was only released in America. In it, Simba and Nala have a son named Kopa. However, these books were not written by any of the film's creators, but rather an outside source that merely got permission from Disney to write a spin-off.

A Cowardly Lion is a comic inspired by The Lion King. At the start of the comic, Mufasa is trying to make conversation with his son, but Simba is too distracted to answer. A bush rustles and the frightened cub leaps away in fear of the poisonous snake he believes is hiding in the leaves. But as a tiny bird takes flight, Mufasa assures his son that it's only a harmless bird. Not long after this, Simba hears a strange noise and hides behind his father. Mufasa is confused and asks his son if he's afraid of a monkey. The two continue on their way and Mufasa thinks to himself that Simba has been acting very skittish lately. He desires to help his son, but can't think of a way to assuage his fears. Suddenly, Mufasa treads on a thorn and falls to the ground. Simba cries out in dismay as Mufasa tells the cub that the thorn is poisonous. Simba asks what he can do to help and Mufasa instructs him to find the antidote, an herb with orange flowers. Shakily, Simba complies.

...To Die For is an instrumental score from The Lion King. Composed by Hans Zimmer, it is featured in The Lion King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, though its final version was cut and edited for the official soundtrack. Initially referred to as the music for the stampede scene, "...To Die For" can be heard from when Simba first sees the wildebeest stampede to when he runs from Scar and his father's dead body. Many parts of the music were cut, such as when Scar knocks out Zazu and when Mufasa clings to the side of the gorge and pleas with his brother for help. Much the same as its movie counterpart, the score heard in the stage musical has a similar rhythm and an almost identical tune. However, the main difference is that the stage musical uses more prominent vocals, as well as a wider array of instruments. In the original cast recording, the score is titled, "Stampede."
