Pumbaa (Kopa's Story Comic)

Pumbaa is a supporting character in The Lion King: Kopa's Story.

Appearance
Like most warthogs, Pumbaa is broad and portly with a large head, a round middle, and skinny legs. His tusks are white, and his hooves are black, with his nose colored a pale pink. His main shade is red, though his stomach is darker, colored a deep brown. His mane and tail tip are both black in color, while his eyes are small and dark.

Personality
Pumbaa is a jolly, kind, funny, benevolent, fun-loving, happy-go-lucky, and enthusiastic warthog with a deep heart, though he is quick to panic when something goes wrong. He shows deep concern for Bunga when he is told of his future role in the Lion Guard, though soon comes to accept it. Unlike Timon, Pumbaa's intentions are always kind and thoughtful. However, he is very emotional, and not very helpful in a difficult situation.

History
Pumbaa, along with Timon, found Simba, who fled his home. They raised him to eat grubs and live a worry-free lifestyle. When Simba reached adulthood and went back to Pride Rock to reclaim his title as king from Scar, Pumbaa and Timon went with him to help fight. The battle was a success, Simba became king, and Pumbaa and Timon have stayed in the Pride Lands ever since.
