Backstory[]

Family[]

Father : Crowfeather

Mother : Shani

Siblings : Unknown

Mate : Jiba

Son : Rajah

Getting Frozen[]

As a young adult , Kotiya was a carnivorous beast who did not respect the Circle of Life. Due to that , many mammoths and wooly rhinos agreed that they should destroy him. While he was hunting Musk Ox , an army of animals charged at him , and threw him into a freezing lake. However , he did not die due to the lake freezing with him.

Return[]

7 million years later , when the water from the rain of the Great Spirit of Ubinafsi melted the frozen lake , Kotiya woke up. He looked at the tree of life and roared.

Cameos[]

*After returning to the land , Kotiya made a few cameos before he became the main antaginist.

  1. A herd of barasingha deer move to the watering hole. One female moves away from the herd to eat a small bush. She then looks up to see the sun. Suddenly , a large smilodon jumps on her , chasing the whole herd away.
  2. An injured Tahr comes to the tree of life. He says that he was attacked by a leopard with long teeth. Behind a bush , two eyes are watching .
  3. An Indian Wolf watches Kion and Rani talk about the weather. As he is about to turn around and go , something large jumps one him.
  4. Rani tells Kion that the Indian Peafowl population is extremely low. She also suggests that they should hide all the peafowls in the cave under the Tree of Light , which is not too far from the Tree of life. Soon , a dead peacock is seen being dragged by a large cat.

Arriving to the Pride lands[]

Kion and Rani go to the Pride lands to celebrate the fact that a year had passed since Ubinafsi's war was gone. Kotiya , interested in a new flavor , follows them.

As Simba tells the Pride landers how it is almost the anniversary of Scar's defeat, he is attacked by Kotiya. Simba is a strong lion , but the smilodon was much stronger. Simba slashes at the saber tooth , giving him a scar identical to his uncle. The smilodon attacks Simba again , but the other Pridelanders come to save their king. Kotiya runs away , telling Simba that " This isn't the last of me".

Destroying the eco system[]

Kotiya soon starts hunting for sport. He chases a herd of Common eland , waterbuck and Dik-dik towards a cliff. Simba , realising that this was war , forms an army to protect the Pride lands. This army was the "Pride-guarders"

Death[]

Kion watches Kotiya chase a flock of ostriches. He waits for the perfect moment and roars , lifting a small chunk of land so high in the air , that it gets caught in the clouds. Kion tells Simba , who is next to him , that there will be enough oxygen up there. He also tells how he or Mlinzi , the current leader of the Lion Guard , can give Kotiya all the water he needs. He gives this message to Kotiya. How ever , the evil smilodon jumps towards Simba in the hopes of crushing him. Simba moves away , and Kotiya dies. Kion brings the land back down and carries Kotiya's corpse to the frozen lake back at the Tree of Life , where he buries him.

Trivia[]

  • Originally , Kotiya was meant to have his own army of pre historic carnivores. This idea was scrapped as it felt too similar to how the other Lion king villians had their own army.
  • Kotiya was supposed to fall back into the frozen lake as he never went to the Pride lands. This would mean that he'd still be alive. How ever , he was taken in to the Pride lands so he could fight Simba.
  • Kotiya is the oldest animal in the entire Lion King franchise as he is 7 million years old.
  • It was later revealed that he had a mate and a son.
