[[folder: Shenzi, Banzai and Ed]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shenzi_banzai_and_ed_4302.jpg]]

->''"We're hyenas, Banzai. We need meat. Thick, juicy meat."''

->'''Voiced by:''' Whoopi Goldberg (Shenzi), Cheech Marin (Banzai) and Jim Cummings (Ed)

Shenzi, Banzai and Ed are Scar's "top hyena agents", forced into doing all of his dirty work. They're terrified of their leader, and would love nothing more than to get away from him for good. That's easier said than done, though...
----

[[folder: Timon and Pumbaa]]
[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timon_and_pumbaa_296.jpg]]

->''"Don't tell me you actually believed that ''hakuna matata'' nonsense? It is kind of good, though, isn't it? ''Really'' convinces the kids."''

->'''Voiced by:''' Nathan Lane(Timon) and Ernie Sabella(Pumbaa)

Timon and Pumbaa are rather kind characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', but here they are portrayed as disturbingly cheerful monsters, who lure other animals in with their friendly appearance. They suck the souls of two victims each year, draining their life energy in order to remain immortal. They are quite polite chaps though.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Kind in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''; creepy here.
** WordOfGod says it was because reviewers were complaining about how all the villains in the series were AxCrazy ObviouslyEvil maniacs. He decided to make them the next villains, to make characters that were scary on a different level.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: They seem pretty nice at first, just like their canon counterparts. However, it's soon revealed they're really just extremely skilled manipulators.
* CardCarryingVillain: When Nala tells them that what they do is evil, Timon responds "Who cares? Evil makes the world go round."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They do genuinely respect and care about each other.
* EvilAllAlong: They seem pretty nice at first, just like their canon counterparts. However, it's soon revealed they are not nice at all.
* EvilGloating: ''Very'' fond of this. It ultimately leads to their undoing.
* {{Expy}}: They are both remarkably similar in personality and MO to Kaa, being villains who fake a friendly demeanour in order to make children think they are trustworthy, before hypnotising and killing them.
** The way they are not revealed to be evil until later on, the way they drain peoples souls by touching them, and even some of Timon's lines are all a blatant reference to Simone and Lena from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland''.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Even after revealing their true colours, they are surprisingly polite and courteous for such [[JerkAss Jerkasses]], casually conversing with their intended victims. However, that's just because they're so unbearably full of themselves.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. They could have easily drained Simba and Nala when they were unconscious, but chose to wait until they came round in order to do some EvilGloating.
* [[ImmortalitySeeker Immortality Seekers]]: Timon and Pumbaa wish to live for ever. The only way they can do this is by draining the souls of other animals.
* {{Foil}}: To the hyenas, even though they never actually meet them. Both groups are villains who seek to kill the heroes. However, the hyenas are conscious that what they do is wrong and are repentant of the things they've done in Scar's employ. Timon and Pumbaa however, are manipulative sociopaths who are not only unrepentant of the evil they've done, but openly wish they could've done ''more'' evil when they had the chance.
* JerkAss: They're both incredibly smug and venomous.
* LargeHam: Both. Literally in Pumbaa's case.
* ManipulativeBastard: They have managed to convince at least four hundred young animals they are trustworthy. They are not.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Thanks to their abilities, Timon and Pumbaa have already been immortal for two centuries.
* SissyVillain
* SmugSnake: They're both rather arrogant and fond of gloating. This ultimately leads to their undoing.
* SoftSpokenSadist: They are both mild-mannered, polite and courteous, yet they are predators who kidnap young animals in order to drain their souls.
* VillainousFriendship: A Type 1.
* WouldHurtAChild: They drain the souls of baby animals.
* YourSoulIsMine: Timon and Pumbaa drain souls in order to stay alive.

[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/royal_reaper_5170.jpg]]

->"You shouldn't mess with people like me, kid. They're dangerous... and deadly."

->'''Voiced by:''' [=Anonymous13=] B
A psychotic SerialKiller, the Royal Reaper initially appears to be a story Simba made up, but this turns out to not quite be the case. His sole desire is to gruesomely rip apart and devour the royal families of Africa.
----

* EvilFeelsGood: There's no question the Royal Reaper loves what he does.

* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Simba initially believes the Royal Reaper to be something he came up with in his head.
* ObviouslyEvil: Alongside the name, he has red eyes, grey fur, a brown mane, sharp fangs, and extra-long claws.
* SlasherSmile: No surprise, considering he's a serial killer.
