Pumbaa is a naive warthog who befriends and adopts a young Simba after he runs away from home.
Appearance[]
Pumbaa has a smooth russet red coat with a mane of short black hair sprouting from his head and running down his neck. The tuft of hair at the end of his tail is also black in color. He is a large, well-built animal with a huge, round lower jaw and two ivory-colored tusks protruding from his upper jaw. Pumbaa's nose and inner ears are pink, and his small eyes are black with yellow sclerae.
Personality[]
Due to his friendly, loyal, and protective personality, Pumbaa is generally regarded as a very likable character. However, he displays childlike naivety which is sometimes confused for stupidity. He does, in fact, come up with some intelligent ideas and insightful ideas, which Timon rapidly claims as his own.
Pumbaa is also kind and caring, as shown when he, unlike Timon, takes pity on Simba and is quick to offer his assistance to the young cub. In addition, Pumbaa appears to be polite to those who are friendly, as shown when he greets Nala after Simba introduces him to her, despite the fact that Nala had tries to eat him a few minutes earlier. Notwithstanding, he expects respect from his enemies, which indicates when he attacks Kamari after he is addressed as a "pig".
