Biography
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
While playing Baobab Ball, Bunga falls into a heap with Ushari
When Bunga and Kion are playing Baobab Ball, they run into Ushari, who falls into a heap with Bunga. The baobab fruit ends up in Ushari's mouth, but Bunga quickly grabs it away, and Ushari is forced to duck as Kion leaps over him after his friend.
The Lion Guard: The Rise of Scar
Ushari forms an alliance with Janja in the hopes of summoning the spirit of Scar
In the Pride Lands, the dry season has started, and the Lion Guard is busier than ever, much to the annoyance of Ushari, who they keep running over.
Later, Ushari watches as Kion speaks with Makini, who gushes over Kion's ability to speak to his grandfather, Mufasa. Unbeknownst to the pair, Ushari has heard everything and contemplates how to use what he's learned against the Lion Guard for his benefit. Ushari then leaves for the Outlands.
Once there, Janja and his crew see Ushari and decide to eat him. Ushari asks Janja if he would like something meatier. Janja tells him that he would but can't because the Lion Guard keeps driving his clan off, to which Ushari reveals that that's because Kion's been getting advice from Mufasa.
Ushari tricks Makini into revealing whether there is a way to talk to the bad lions of the past
He adds that if the hyenas want to stop the Guard, they should find a way to talk to one of the Great Lions of the Past. Janja retorts that no Great Lion would help the hyenas, but Ushari reminds him that there was one Great Lion who always helped hyenas: Scar. He also reminds Janja that if Kion can talk to Mufasa, there must be a way for them to talk to Scar.
Back in the Pride Lands, Makini has found her bakora staff. Ushari appears and convinces her to get Rafiki to reveal if there's a way to talk to Scar. Ushari then summons his skink friends to spy on Makini and reveal what Rafiki tells her about Scar. At the Lair of the Lion Guard, Rafiki explains that it depends on if the Great Lion is good or bad. The Great Lions of the Past are the lions that appear when Kion uses the Roar. However, the Evil Lions of the Past like Scar appear in fire if they are unleashed by the Roar and the bakora staff. The skinks go off to tell Ushari and Janja what they've learned.
Ushari sings "Bring Back a Legend", during which he plots to summon the spirit of Scar
Back in the Outlands, Ushari and Janja decide to use what they have learned to summon Scar. They decide to get Makini's bakora staff, since she's too inexperienced to be a threat, and to attack one of Kion's loved ones and bring them there, since Kion's Roars are at their most powerful when he's angry.
The hyenas kidnap Kiara and take Makini's bakora staff. While the rest of the Guard rescues her, Janja tricks Kion by getting him to use the Roar out of anger, causing the volcano to erupt. When Janja throws Makini's staff into the volcano, Scar is successfully summoned, giving Ushari and the rest of the Lion Guard's enemies their own spirit guide.

"Bunga the Wise"
After a severe flood hits the Pride Lands, Kion and the rest of the Lion Guard look down Ushari's hole, ready to make sure that he and the other cobras aren't stuck in the mud.

"Let Sleeping Crocs Lie"
Ushari plots with his spirit guide, Scar
When Makuu leaves with the Lion Guard to speak to Simba about new sleeping arrangements, Kiburi seizes control of the float, inspiring them to join him in taking over the water holes in the Pride Lands. From afar, Shupavu the skink watches in fascination and resolves to speak with Ushari and Scar about the proceedings.
In Janja's den, Scar praises Ushari for his spies' work and orders the skinks to continue monitoring the situation.
Ushari convinces Kiburi to send his lackeys to attack Simba during the mashindano
Later, Kiburi calls for a mashindano, and Makuu accepts. Shupavu reports the proceedings to Scar, who questions Ushari as to whether the royal family will attend the event. When Ushari confirms that Simba will likely be present, Scar schemes to use the mashindano as a distraction. He orders Ushari to convince Kiburi that he can become ruler of the Pride Lands, and Ushari agrees to the plan.
At sunset, the Pride Landers gather at Lake Matope to watch the mashindano. Before the event, Ushari speaks privately with Kiburi, who agrees to the snake's plan. Just then, Kiburi is called to return to the mashindano, and he and Makuu begin their fight. As the crocodiles brawl, Kiburi's lackeys attempt to sneak up on an unknown target, using the mashindano as a distraction.
Ushari leads Kiburi and his followers to Janja's den, where they meet and ally with Scar
However, the plan is thwarted by the Lion Guard, and Kiburi and his followers are banished to the Outlands.
As Kiburi and his followers leave the kingdom, Kiburi corners Ushari and accuses him of having caused his downfall. Ushari calmly promises Kiburi much more than he had before and leads the crocodiles to Janja's den, where they meet the ghost of Scar. With all his onlookers watching, Scar sings "I Have A Plan", in which he revels in his future plot to overtake the Pride Lands and become king.
"Swept Away"
Njano informs Ushari that Beshte is alone in the Outlands
In Janja's den, a skink arrives and informs Ushari and his allies that Beshte is alone in the Outlands. Though Janja tries to dismiss the situation, Scar appears and orders his cronies to eliminate Beshte. When Cheezi and Chungu wonder how they might accomplish this, Scar declares that he has a plan.
Janja and his clan fail in their attack, however, and Ushari arrives promptly to tell the hyenas that an unhappy Scar wishes to speak with them.
"Rescue in the Outlands"
Ushari is sleeping in Janja's den when he is awakened by Janja, Cheezi and Chungu, who admit that they attacked and defeated by Jasiri.

"The Bite of Kenge"
Ushari sings "Big Bad Kenge", during which he boasts of the many abilities of his friend Kenge
Janja and his lackeys enter their den, where they tell Scar and Ushari about how the Lion Guard prevented them from stealing some takiti melons, which were intended for a herd of elephants. Scar deduces that destroying the melon supply could offset the Circle of Life, as it would dehydrate the elephants, and orders the hyenas to return to the fruit patch.
Janja protests the idea as foolishness, since the Lion Guard is waiting for them there, but Ushari volunteers to connect them with a powerful friend of his who can help them. He then sings "Big Bad Kenge", in which he boasts of his friend Kenge's great speed and deadly bite.

Ushari and the rest of the Army of Scar corner the Lion Guard in Janja's den. He is defeated when Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to clear a path to escape.

Ushari is present as Scar tasks Janja with carrying out his latest plan. When Kinyonga accidentally reveals herself to the Outlanders, Ushari orders Shupavu and her minions to pursue the chameleon.
Physical appearance
Ushari bears maroon scales and a tan snout and underside. Along the upper side of his body are thin purple stripes, with two spheres of purple on either side of his neck. In some appearances, he has a spectacle marking on the back of his hood, but this is a design mistake, as only Indian cobras have this feature. His eyes are black.
Personality and traits

When left to his own devices, Ushari is calm and quiet, with an inclination to keep to himself. However, when provoked, he is known to respond aggressively, especially toward Bunga, whom he harbors a strong distaste for. He also doesn't like it when other animals trample over him. He is also manipulative, as revealed when he tricks Kiburi into thinking he'll rule the Pride Lands once he wins a mashindano, and how he persuades Janja's clan into helping him summon Scar.
