Mzingo is a male white-backed vulture. He is the leader of a committee of vultures that reside in the Outlands.
He is an antagonist in Legends of the Lion Guard.
Appearance[]
Mzingo is rather large for a vulture, nearly reaching Janja's shoulder in height. His feathers are colored a very dark tea, though his underside and wings are tipped with lighter blue, and he has a white ring of feathers around his neck. His head and neck are white with a patch of brown around his eyes and face, and a gray dot is sported on both sides of his cheeks. He has dark pink feet, black talons, a gray beak, and blue eyes with yellow sclerae.
Personality[]
Mzingo is opportunistic and sneaky. He shares a desire with the hyenas to eat at his leisure, no matter the effect on the Circle of Life, and cares nothing for the other animals of the Pride Lands. He has a dry and sarcastic demeanor, and he speaks with a sense of eloquence.

Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands[]
Mzingo and Mwoga meet with a few other antagonists and Ushari at Broken Rock. When wanting to make sure that his plan succeeds, Scar orders Shupavu to fetch him a vulture. At Mapango Cliffs, Mzingo flies up to Janja's Clan and Reirei's Pack, grasping a stick of fire in his talons, and he says that it is a "gift" for Rafiki and Makini. He swoops up, drops the stick into the grass, and flies back to the volcano. When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, he orders Mzingo's Committee to set Kilio Valley on fire. Mzingo asks his committee if they are in agreement, and they nod, flying off.
Zazu sees the Outlanders cross the border, and he warns Simba, who tells him to inform the Lion Guard. Upon finding out, Kion and Mhina head to Kilio Valley, but struggle to put out the flames and fight the vultures at the same time. Zazu notices and gives this information to Simba, and he assigns Kicheko, Kopa, and Tatu to help Kion and Mhina. They rush to the scene, and Kion instructs Tatu to distract the vultures. Shortly after, Mzingo drops a stick of fire on the ground near Pride Rock as another "gift" for the Pride Landers. A few minutes later, Mzingo's Committee begins to attack Acacia Grove while it is also on fire, and Ono warns Kion. As Kion is too anxious to make a plan, he lets Fuli decide what to do. She assigns him, Bunga, Beshte, and Jasiri to help her fight the vultures. Shortly after, Scar orders his forces to act like they put up a fight against the Lion Guard, and Mzingo's Committee fights with Hadithi's bird army. Mzingo is slammed into by Anga, winding him. Eventually, they retreat.
