Voice cast
A lion cub, who is Simba and Nala's son, Mufasa's grandson, Kiara's younger brother, the Prince of the Pride Lands, and the leader of the Lion Guard as well as its fiercest member. As leader of the Guard, Kion possesses an intensely powerful ability known as the Roar of the Elders bestowed by the great lions of the past. A dimwitted honey badger, who is the bravest member of the Lion Guard. He is also Timon and Pumbaa's adoptive nephew and Kion's best friend. A happy-go-lucky and enthusiastic hippopotamus, who is the strongest member of the Lion Guard and Kion's friend. A cattle egret, who is the keenest of sight of the Lion Guard and Kion's friend. A cheetah cub, who is the fastest member of the Lion Guard, the only female member, Kion's friend and second-in-command. She also dislikes baboons and getting wet. A lion, who is the King of Pride Rock, Nala's mate, Kion and Kiara's overprotective father, Mufasa's son, and the reserve leader of the Lion Guard. A lioness, who is the Queen of Pride Rock, Simba's mate, and Kiara and Kion's mother. A lioness cub, who is the Princess of Pride Rock, Kion's older sister, Simba and Nala's daughter. Simba's deceased uncle, Kion and Kiara's great-uncle, and Mufasa's younger brother. Scar was once the leader of a Lion Guard before Kion and also had the Roar of the Elders, but the power went to his head and he began to believe that he should be king instead of Mufasa. He lost the Roar after he used it to destroy his fellow Lion Guard members when they refused to help him overthrow Mufasa. Later in life, he orchestrated his brother's death with the help of his hyena henchmen. After being defeated by Simba in a vicious fight, he was mauled to death by the hyenas when he tried to pin the blame of Mufasa's death on them. By the end, Kion unknowingly summoned Scar back as a fiery spirit in the Outlands' volcano after he used the Roar in anger when Janja provoked him. An old mandrill, who is the adviser of Pride Rock. A cunning and ruthless spotted hyena, who is the leader of his clan. An Egyptian cobra, who often conflicted with Bunga and would get disturbed whenever the Lion Guard was near him. In this film, Ushari finally gets fed up with the Lion Guard disturbing his peace and inadvertently finds out that Kion talks to Mufasa's spirit. He informs Janja of this which leads to the two of them orchestrating events that enable them to summon Scar's spirit. Upon Scar's spirit being unleashed, Ushari becomes a second-in-command to him in Scar's plot to unite all the animals of the Outlands in a plot to get revenge on the Pride Lands. An arrogant Nile crocodile, who is the leader of his own float after being exiled to the Outlands when his followers attempted to ambush Simba during the "Mashindano" against Makuu. An unintelligent spotted hyena with a slightly heavier build than the other hyenas, who is one of Janja's right-hand henchmen. A handsome yet dimwitted plains zebra, who is the leader of the herd in Chakula Plains. Simba and Pumbaa's wisecracking meerkat friend. Timon is Bunga's other adoptive uncle. Simba and Timon's warm-hearted common warthog friend. Pumbaa is Bunga's adoptive uncle. A excitable young mandrill, who becomes Rafiki's apprentice. A deceased lion, who is Kion's grandfather, Simba's father, and the former King of Pride Rock. Since his death after being killed into a wildebeest stampede orchestrated by Scar, Mufasa lives on as a spirit that gives Kion advice on how to get through any tough plight.
