The Young Leader[]

Legends of the Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands[]

Shupavu, along with a few other members of her group, meet with various other antagonists at Broken Rock and later the volcano. At the latter place, she points out that Rafiki is collecting herbs at Ukuni Woods. Later, she and Njano meet at Broken Rock with Ushari and other villains, and Ushari recalls that he was informed of the attacks failing from Shupavu. Later, Shupavu and Waza spy on the Lion Guard, Mhina, and Anga at Embamba Canyon, and report back to Ushari and Reth at Broken Rock. She explains that the Guard and their friends are staying in Embamba Canyon until a situation arises, and Ushari devises a plan to create trouble. When it is decided that Reth's Pride will stage the attack, Reth orders Shupavu to get Slash and the rest of the pride. After another failed attack, Ushari meets with Shupavu's Group, Reth's Pride, Janja's Clan, and Kucha's Clan at Broken Rock, where he reveals that Shupavu has informed him of attacks failing again. He also reveals that they can summon Scar if they can harness a roar and bakora staff, and after Kambu (Ava15's Fanfics) says that they can use Makini's staff, Shupavu reports that she is at Lake Kiziwa with Nguruma. When Kucha and her clan return with Nguruma and the staff, Shupavu is at the caldera entrance. Ushari tells her to fetch Reth's Pride, and she scurries off to do so.

Later, Shupavu and Njano spy on the Lion Guard and their allies, and report to Ushari outside the volcano. Shupavu says a party from the Tree of Life is in the Pride Lands, and intrigued, Ushari leads the skinks inside the caldera to speak with Scar. Scar, pleased by the news, forms a plan to keep Kion and the Lion Guard busy, and orders Shupavu to fetch Kiburi's Float for an attack. She asks where the attack will take place, and upon hearing that it will be at Urembo River, she nods and scurries out of the volcano with Njano. During a meeting with Scar, Shupavu is one of the attendees, and her news that the attacks failed again is shared. Soon, Shupavu, along with Nyata, spy on the Lion Guard as they meet with the Tumaini Pride at Lake Matope, and she brings this information to Scar. Shupavu and her skinks are soon present for another meeting with Scar, and he orders her to fetch him a vulture for his latest scheme. Upon seeing the Lion Guard leading the kingdom delegations to Pride Rock, Shupavu says that this is interesting, and she and Njano report back to Scar and Ushari in the volcano. She explains that animals from every kingdom are in the Pride Lands, and fascinated, Scar orders her to fetch Kiburi's Float for an attack. Shortly afterward, Shupavu's tail twitches from side-to-side as she spies on a training session held by Kion and Simba, and she decides that Scar must hear about this, heading to the volcano.

Inside the caldera, Shupavu faces Scar, reporting that the kingdoms have allied to defeat him, and she's just seen a demonstration between Kion and Simba. Scar asks if the Pride Landers are rising up against him, which she confirms, and he remarks that it's a threat to his schemes. He orders her to retrieve Janja's Clan and Reth's Pride for attacks, wanting the Pride Lands weakened, and she agrees. Later, Shupavu's Group is present inside the volcano caldera when Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands. Shortly after, Shupavu learns that Kion's forces are planning on invading the Outlands, and she scurries back to the caldera. She informs Scar, and he orders her to fetch his army. Once they have assembled, Scar delivers Shupavu's news to the Outlanders, ordering them to attack, but to not hold the Lion Guard back. When the fight begins, Shupavu sees that the Pride Landers are winning, and she warns Scar. He tells her that the skinks must stop them, and they gather outside the caldera, but the Lion Guard swiftly knocks them away.
