Nduli is a male crocodile. Originally a Pride Lander and member of Makuu's Float, he was banished to the Outlands and is now a member of Kiburi's Float.
He is an antagonist in Legends of the Lion Guard.
Appearance[]
Nduli is a small and slender crocodile with light green markings under his tail. Some spots can be found towards the top of his muzzle and at the side of his body. He has a light green underbelly and emerald green spines. His sclerae are yellow, and his eyes are asparagus, much like his claws. His eyes are often more spread apart, much like Cheezi.
Personality[]
Nduli is somewhat of an optimist, choosing to look at any positive effects of a failed mission. However, like the rest of his float members, he is overconfident.

Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands[]
Nduli and his float attack Timon and Pumbaa at Lake Matope, and the Lion Guard, Mhina, Anga, and Jasiri arrive to stop them. Kion immediately bounds forward, and when the crocodiles refuse to leave, roars them away. Later, Kiburi's Float meet at Broken Rock with other antagonists. After a while, they again meet at the volcano, and Kiburi's Float agrees to go after Rafiki. However, Rafiki swiftly defeats them without anyone's help. Later, Scar tells Shupavu to fetch Kiburi's Float, wanting an attack to keep Kion and the Lion Guard busy. They confront Sarabi at Urembo River, and the Lion Guard and their allies arrive to stop them. Nduli and Tamka stand beside Kiburi, refusing to return to the Outlands, and Kion formulates a battle plan. He tells Rani, Jasiri, Baliyo, and Anga to handle Tamka and Nduli, and at once, a battle breaks out. Rani and Jasiri fling themselves at Nduli, sending him toward the riverbank, where he is growled at by Sarabi. Kion soon calls for a regroup, and once everyone is behind him, he roars the crocodiles out of the Pride Lands. Back at Pride Rock, Kion mentions that they defeated Kiburi's Float.
Later, Ono reports that Kiburi's Float is attacking Kohana and Mahuluti at Lake Kiziwa. Upon being reminded of Kohana's fear of crocodiles, the Lion Guard, Anga, and Mhina immediately rush to save them. When they arrive, Kion assigns Fuli and Beshte to protect Kohana, while the others deal with the float. Bunga kicks Nduli, sending him toward the lakeshore, and Kion uses the Roar to send the crocodiles away. During another meeting Scar holds, Kiburi's Float is present with Janja's Clan and Reirei's Pack. As the hyenas and jackals attack Rafiki and Makini, Kiburi's Float joins the battle, and Kion assigns Ono and Anga to deal with the crocodiles. They swoop in on Nduli and Tamka, and they crash into a baobab tree. Eventually, the Outlanders are defeated by Kion, who uses the Roar to drive them away. Soon after, Kiburi's Float attacks Kuuma and Mahuluti at Lake Shangaza, and the Lion Guard and their allies arrive to stop them. During the fight, Kuuma sends Nduli flying backwards, and Mahuluti pins him down. Eventually, Kion roars the crocodiles away. When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, he orders the jackals and crocodiles to conquer Mizimu Grove.
They cross the border, which gets the attention of Zazu, and he tells Simba, who tells him to warn the Lion Guard. Upon finding out, Kion sends Fuli and Beshte to Mizimu Grove, but it soon becomes clear that they need help. Simba assigns Jivin, Rani, and Baliyo to help them, and they charge into battle. Later, on orders from Scar, the army fights Kion's forces, and Ma Tembo sends Reirei into Goigoi, Nduli, and Tamka. Eventually, the Outlanders retreat.
