open/close all folders
First film characters as portrayed in this series:
Timon
Timon Berkowitz
- Voiced by: Nathan Lane (season 1), Quinton Flynn (season 1), Kevin Schon (The intro, seasons 2-3)
- Adaptational Dumbass: He seems to have gotten a lot more clueless and stubborn than in the film. "Brazil Nuts" and "I Don't Bolivia" are the finest examples of this.
- Badass Adorable: Timon is still a small, cute meerkat, and yet is very clever when outsmarting his foes.
- Badass Bookworm: He may be tiny, but his cleverness enables him to outsmart vicious predators. Not to mention anger him enough and he will strike back so hard that predators run for their lives.
- Butt-Monkey: Though a lot of what Timon goes through is karmic retribution for some recent act of Jerkassery, usually by being overly rude, selfish, or proud. When using his powers for good, he generally ends up all right.
- Cowardly Lion: He may often hide in fear when a new predator approaches, but threaten Pumbaa or any of his friends and he will not hesitate to help a comrade against a hungry animal.
- Deadpan Snarker: Usually when interacting with Pumbaa or Simba.
- Glad I Thought of It: Timon has a habit of taking Pumbaa's ideas, often repeating them to sound like he came up with them.
- It's All About Me: Timon can be very selfish and not care about what damage he causes when working on his schemes.
- Jerkass Ball: While he's usually a slightly greedy Deadpan Snarker and Loveable Rogue, a select few episodes have depicted him as being rather callous and mean-spirited, such as in "To Kilimanjaro Bird" where he remorselessly eats Baby Earl's bug breakfast. Some episodes even portray him in a villanous role, a notable example being "Back Out in the Outback".
- Jerkass Has a Point: As rude and unfeeling as he can be sometimes, Timon often raises very good points. In "Never Everglades", for instance, he's mostly antagonistic towards Pumbaa Jr., but rightfully points out to Pumbaa that, as much as they do care about him, they don't have any idea how to raise him and he'd be better off with others of his own kind.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He gets many Pet the Dog moments.
- Karmic Butt-Monkey: As a result of his jerkishness, he gets put through a lot of humiliation.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Carried over from the film. Despite being the "brains of the outfit", Timon's ego leads him to speak with confidence on subjects he knows nothing about. "Klondike Con" has by far the best example, when Pumbaa asks him why they didn't bring any picks or shovels for their gold mining plan:Timon: Pumbaa, let me explain gold mining. You simply pick up the gold and say "This is mine"! Hence, the term "gold mining"!
- Schemer: A large part of the series' conflicts come about because of Timon's habitual tendency to swindle people in various ways to make quick bucks or other wants (such as sneaking into a cruise).
- Small Name, Big Ego: Often refers to himself as the "brains" of the duo, though not always the case. Said ego sometimes backfires at him in various degrees.
- Smarter Than You Look: He is nowhere near as smart and capable as he thinks he is and often seems totally clueless about what is going on around him, but when it really counts, he shows himself to be very cunning and quick-thinking, coming up with and pulling off a number of impressive schemes.Pumbaa: I'll go get my friend Timon! His brain is so full of smarts, he'll know exactly what to do!
Pumbaa
Pumbaa Smith
- Voiced by: Ernie Sabella
- Adaptational Intelligence: Though he is something of an airhead like in the first film, he is given a fair amount of book-smarts and can quote many facts about geography, literature, and history.
- Baritone of Strength: Played for Laughs in "Home is Where the Hog Is". During romantic moments with Sharla, Pumbaa puts on a smooth, deep voice reminiscent of a suave action hero - quite the opposite of his normal, somewhat squealy tones.
- Cannot Keep a Secret: Recipe for Disaster establishes that Pumbaa isn't great at keeping secrets, apparently even ruining the ending of The Crying Game for Timon! In fact, the entire plot hinges on Pumbaa struggling to keep the recipe for their bug salsa a secret.
- Cowardly Lion: Episodes such as "Guatemala Malarkey" and "Jamaica Mistake?" show him to be somewhat of a scaredy-cat. But when Timon's in danger, or if he's mad, Pumbaa will charge - and woe betide whatever gets in the way.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He is not the brightest one in the cast, but he fends off stronger larger animals including giants like elephants and even dinosaurs. "Timon Alone" sees him drive off an entire horde of hungry predators from across the food chain.
- Dumbass Has a Point: Downplayed due to his adaptational intelligence. Not only is he often right when he often warns Timon that his schemes will get screwed up and his dishonesty will get the duo into big trouble, but he also frequently corrects Timon about his erroneous beliefs in subjects he's into (in particular geography).
- Gasshole: His gassy trait is a lot more frequent compared to the movies. Burps are much more blatant, while farts are implied but noticeable.
- Honesty Is the Best Policy: Embraces this virtue often, even if it's not always in his, or Timon's, favor.
- Literal-Minded: He often has trouble recognizing sarcasm or metaphor. In "Doubt of Africa", for example, when Timon uses fish to illustrate the food chain and thus explain why helping the tigress is a bad idea, Pumbaa points out that she isn't a fish.
- Nice Guy: He's still as warm and big-hearted as ever. This means he has no trouble making friends with anything between a tigress ("Doubt of Africa"), a stinkbug ("Rocky Mountain Lie") and a land crab ("Back Out in the Outback").
- Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Pumbaa has a tendency of doing this to Timon - all he has to do is cheerfully and innocently insinuate that Timon would never do anything dishonest, usually when the meerkat is doing exactly that. “Yukon Con”, “Okay Bayou?” and “Tanzania Zany” are the best examples of this in action.
- Super-Strength: He is capable of lifting giant animals such as elephants and whales.
Simba
- Voiced by: Cam Clarke
- Adaptational Badass: Although already a badass in the movies that inspired the show, in the show he has superhero feats such as blowing away hundreds of heavy animals (including elephants and rhinos) with a single roar and being able to knock down a 40 feet tall monster with a single tackle.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Though more of a badass than in the movies, he's also noticeably lazier and (just like a real lion) spends a lot of time just doing nothing — in the episode Shake Your Djibouti it's especially noticeable, with his characteristic self-doubt coming across more as an excuse to not have to get up and move. When he does get involved, though, he effortlessly takes care of any problem in less than a minute.
- Demoted to Extra: The main character of the franchise otherwise, but in this series, he only appears in the occasional episode.
The Hyenas
- Banzai voiced by: Rob PaulsenEd voiced by: Jim CummingsShenzi voiced by: Tress MacNeille
- Adaptational Dumbass: Shenzi, previously the smartest among them, goes through a bit of this like not knowing how to spell 'X' in Cooked Goose.
- Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed. They are not quite as menacing in the show as they are in the movies, even showing more of their dimwitted sides at times. That being said, they still have their not-so-harmless moments, with episodes like "Cooked Goose" and "TV Dinner" showing that they are not ones to be messed with.
- Amusing Injuries: Shenzi loves giving this to the guys.
- Anthropomorphic Shift: They now walk on their hind legs a lot, can wear clothes and are able to grasp things with their hands.
- Cool Shades: They wear these at the end of the episode "TV Dinner".
- Determinator: They never give up.
- Dumb Is Good: When pitted against enemies.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: On the rare occasion they wear clothes, they'll be this, although Shenzi is a little more modest.
- The Hyena: Well, it is what they are.
- Loveable Rogue: They're goofy, but loveable.
- Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Ed is nice, Banzai is mean, and Shenzi is in-between.
- Obsessed with Food: They're always looking for food, talking about food, or thinking about food.
- Out of Focus: In the later seasons, they don't get episodes of their own. In fact, due to rarely appearing in episodes outside of their own, they were basically all but Put on a Bus.
- Sassy Black Hyena: Shenzi, though here she's
voiced by a white actress. - Shown Their Work: In Can't Take a Yolk, Banzai is seen eating a ribcage whole. In Real Life, hyenas are known for their ridiculously powerful jaws that allow them to quite literally eat bones (though not in a single gulp like Banzai does).
- Two Guys and a Girl: Shenzi is the only female of the trio.
Zazu
- Voiced by: Edward Hibbert
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Much less of a Nice Guy than in the original movie, but still has a heart, and he's only mean because of the pressure he's under from Gopher and the Inspector. He comes off as a frustrated Punch-Clock Hero.
- Pulled from Your Day Off: The premise of one of his episodes.
- Toothy Bird: In some expressions.
Rafiki
- Voiced by: Robert Guillaume
- Adaptational Badass: The original Rafiki is more of a fortune teller. This series makes him into a full on wizard.
Introduced in this series:
Quint
"I am C. Quint"
Voiced by: Corey Burton
Quint is Timon and Pumbaa's recurring human nemesis. His role varies in each episode he appears in, although one episode shows two Quints together, which may prove that there is more than one of him.
- The Bad Guy Wins: In "Yukon Con", his plan on stealing Timon and Pumbaa's gold nugget ends in success, with the duo failing to retrieve it.

- The Heavy: The most recurring original antagonist of the series.
- Large Ham: He often brags about himself, declaring whatever role he's in (such as Criminal Quint, Clockwork Quint etc).
- Manipulative Bastard: In "Yukon Con", he talks Timon into stealing Pumbaa's gold nugget so that he could have it for himself.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: He has a different job in each episode. He always gets a nickname (usually starting with C) that matches his job.
- Revenge: As clock inspector Clockwork Quint, he plans on get revenge on a young man named Fronk for being chosen as a town's timekeeper instead of him. His revenge plan is to fire him if the broken clock is not fixed by noon.

Bear
"Prepare for some big time hurtin'!"
Voiced by: Jim Cummings (Voice Actor)
A grouchy grizzly bear that Timon and Pumbaa often run into and try to avoid making angry.
- Bears Are Bad News: Basically exists to make Timon and Pumbaa miserable, but only if they make him angry. Given that we're talking about Timon and Pumbaa, they inevitably find a way to tick him off.
- Disproportionate Retribution: He always threatens Timon and Pumbaa with a world-class pummeling, no matter how small the offense might be, like putting onions in his burger.
- Does Not Like Spam: He really hates onions or anything onion-related in his hamburgers.
- A Dog Named "Dog": While he usually goes unnamed, some episodes call him Bear. In "Ready, Aim, Fire", he’s called Smolder the Bear, though in that instance, he’s playing a Corrupted Character Copy of Smokey the Bear.
- The Dreaded: Timon and Pumbaa are absolutely terrified of him (and for good reason), as is anyone who makes him cross.
- Interspecies Romance: Has a huge crush on Leslie Lambeau, a human woman.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: Some episodes show that beneath the gruffness and elaborate threats of physical retribution, he’s actually a pretty nice guy.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: One episode has him as a Expy of Smokey The Bear, but instead of lecturing people about the dangers of fire, he instead eats whoever starts a fire in the woods, which includes two kids and later Quint.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He’s a major grouch but not really a villain, unless you piss him off. If you do, start writing your will.
- You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: And he loves making elaborate speeches about it to Timon and Pumbaa. Episodes featuring him usually focus on the duo trying not to upset him, often unsuccessfully.
Speedy the Snail
"Hi-diddle, hi-diddly help!"
Voiced by: Corey Burton
Speedy is a talking and singing snail whom Timon and Pumbaa befriend.
- Distressed Dude: All of his appearances lead to him getting kidnapped, leading to Timon and Pumbaa to rescue him. Timon calls him out on this to Pumbaa in "Ocean Commotion".
- Ironic Name: "How do you like that clever juxtaposition? Giving a snail, a noticeably slow creature, the name 'Speedy'."
- Shout-Out: His voice is based on that of the late Bing Crosby.
- Took a Level in Badass: He is revealed to be a superhero in his final appearance.
Gopher
"Zazu, sir!"
Voiced by: Jim Cummings (Voice Actor)
Gopher is Zazu's assistant.
- A Dog Named "Dog": He's a gopher named Gopher. In Germany it's either an Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" or a His Name Really Is "Barkeep" situation.
- Ascended Extra: He appeared very briefly in the original film as an unnamed gopher reporting to Zazu about the hyenas in the Pride Lands. In this series, he is expanded (albeit with a change in design), being revealed to be Zazu's assistant and his name being revealed to be Gopher.
- The Comically Serious: The comedy around him comes from his near lack of expression.
- Dub Name Change: "Oberst" ("Colonel") in the German version.
- Number Two: He acts as Zazu's personal secretary.
Fred
"Boy, oh boy, did I get you guys good or what?!"
Voiced by: S. Scott Bullock
Fred is a meerkat who was Timon's best friend back at the meerkat colony. He enjoys pulling practical jokes on his friends.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Fred can sometimes pull cruel and humiliating practical jokes on Timon, as shown in "Tanzania Zany", where he makes an injured Timon lie down under a tree with sleeping howler monkeys and tries to get Pumbaa to hit the tree and have the howler monkeys fall on Timon, only for Pumbaa to refuse out of loyalty to his best friend. Despite that, Fred still cares deeply about Timon.
- Old Friend: He was Timon's original "bestest-best friend" prior to meeting Pumbaa.
- Pun: Timon's hyena jokes always cracked him up.
- Surveillance Station Slacker: When the Duke leaves the meerkat colony for the day, Fred is left in charge of the castle. However, instead of doing his job, he goes to the grocery store to get a snack and after convincing Timon that it's his chance to go on a date with Princess Tatiana, he falls asleep on duty until he's woken up by a cobra, who he unintentionally lets in the castle.
- Toxic Friend Influence:
- "Tanzania Zany" implies that one of Fred's ideas of friendship is to pull humiliating practical jokes on others and that he talked Timon into pulling such a prank before. While Timon is about to pull a humiliating prank on Pumbaa, he starts to feel guilty and have Conflicting Loyalty as Pumbaa tells him what true friendship is.
- Back at the meerkat colony, when the Duke Meerkat was out on a royal duty, Fred talked Timon into leaving his guard post to ask out the Duke's daughter, Tatiana, knowing that Timon had a massive crush on her. Timon initially vetoed the idea out of fear of getting banished, but Fred eventually convinced him to go ahead with it. While Fred convincing Timon to do this was out of genuine care for his friend's feelings for Tatiana, this lead to a cobra invading the meerkat colony and kidnapping Tatiana, and Timon was blamed and exiled for failing to perform his duty. As Timon left the colony, Fred gave him a pained look that implied he was feeling extremely guilty about what he'd done to Timon.
- Whoopee Cushion: According to Timon, Fred used to love this prank.
Boss Beaver
"From here and forward, you will address me as Boss, Boss Beaver! The reason you will address me as Boss Beaver is that I am your boss and I am a beaver!"
Voiced by: Brad Garrett
Boss Beaver is a cranky, ill-tempered loudmouthed beaver whose working lifestyle is the exact opposite of Timon and Pumbaa's Hakuna Matata lifestyle.
- Busy Beaver: He lives by a philosophy of working hard.
- Foil: He is the direct opposite of Timon and Pumbaa: whereas Timon and Pumbaa value relaxation and carefreeness, Boss Beaver values hard work and safety. He even has his own philosophies like Timon and Pumbaa do, being Makuta Hamaka (work really hard), safety first, and you break it, you buy it.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: His attempt to take full credit for the dam Timon and Pumbaa have built results in him ruining his own reputation when the dam proves to be of sub-standard construction.
- Hypocrite: For someone with an uptight, disciplinary attitude, Boss Beaver is clearly irresponsible as a parent and neglects his son to the point that the latter is a trouble maker behind his back.
- Jerkass to One: Or two in this case. Boss Beaver clearly has it out for Timon and Pumbaa to make their lives living hell.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: In "Amusement Bark", he is appalled at his son Boy Beaver attempting to hurt Timon and Pumbaa, because he fears the duo will demand an exorbitant monetary settlement for their injuries.
- Laser-Guided Karma: At the end of "Amusement Bark" Boss Beaver has to sign over his entire amusement park to Timon and Pumbaa for free and he and his son Boy Beaver are forced to work Hot Log on A Stick as an alternative to paying a HUGE monetary compensation for their injuries the latter caused. Considering the horrible treatment the Beavers put them through, not to mention Boss Beaver’s irresponsible parenting leading to all this, the punishment is well justified.
- Mean Boss: Boss Beaver is not a nice person to work for, usually levying unfair demands on Timon and Pumbaa and doesn't treat them well.
- Parental Neglect: His son Boy Beaver mentions he never spends time with him. However, Boss Beaver is criminally negligent of his own son, that Boy’s bad behavior flies over his head until it’s too late. All the malicious acts his son causes, damaging the rides and machines leading to Timon and Pumbaa getting injured, and subsequently losing the park to avoid a lawsuit, could have been avoided had Boss Beaver been more attentive to his son.
- Shaped Like Itself: His page quote and many other moments in the series proper show that he refers to himself in this manner.
- Shown Their Work: He has yellow teeth like real beavers, as opposed to white teeth commonly seen in cartoon beavers.
- Suddenly Shouting: "And remember...SAFETY! FIIIIRST!"
Irwin
"I'm so sorry. ARE YOU OKAY!!!"
Voiced by: Charlie Adler
Irwin is an accident-prone clumsy penguin whom Timon and Pumbaa meet and befriend during their trip to Antarctica.
- Apologises a Lot: He says that he's sorry every time he causes an accident. It starts to annoy Timon.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: Making new friends is the main reason he loves cruises. He also gets excited when he befriends Timon and Pumbaa.
- The Jinx: He's prone to causing accidents to those around him. Timon makes it clear to Pumbaa that they suffer whenever Irwin's around.
- The Klutz: Extremely clumsy.
- Super Gullible: Timon considers him a "gullible mook" after he tricks him into thinking that they're playing a game of hide-and-seek.
- Toothy Bird: Has a pair of Goofy Buckteeth protruding from his beak.
Cheetata and Cheetato
Cheetato: You know, Cheetata, I believe I prefer the rotisserie rhino to the hash-brown hippo.
Cheetata: Ah, yes. Three months of unrestricted, unsurpassed and unbelievable gourmet dining.
Cheetata voiced by: Rob Paulsen
Cheetato voiced by: Jim Cummings (Voice Actor)
Cheetata and Cheetato are a pair of sophisticated and supercilious cheetahs. They are shown hunting for prey and intimidating their victims.
- Affably Evil: They’ll threaten and try to eat you but their manners remain impeccable.
- Artistic License – Biology: When first meeting the hyenas in "Cooked Goose", Snenzi, Banzai and Ed are scared of them, even though in real life, spotted hyenas are larger and more powerful than cheetahs and it's the latter who is usually intimidated by the former.
- Subverted later in the same episode, when the hyena trio realizes that they've been duped and threaten to eat the two cheetahs as revenge.
- Also, going by the quotes provided, it is implied that they preyed on a rhino and hippo, both of which are too big and powerful for cheetahs to target in reality.
- Balloon Belly: After an extended amount of time being free to eat whatever they like, they become obese. It ends up nearly getting them killed as they've become too fat and out of shape to escape the hungry hyenas.
- Cats Are Mean: Not to the extent of Scar or Zira, but they are dangerous predators and quite haughty.
- The Dividual: Of the Twindividual type. They are basically the same in both appearance and personality.
- Expy: They are basically Shere Khan but times two, as evident by their distinct voices and gentlemanly mannerisms while remaining deadly predators.
- Gone Horribly Right: At the end of "Cooked Goose", they finally get rid of the hyenas who were interrupting their hunts, but their rampant success leaves them so fat that they can't run when the hyenas return and decide to eat them.
- Slobs Versus Snobs: Their conflict with the hyenas in "Cooked Goose", as they repeatedly try to get rid of the latter so they won't interfere with their hunts.
- Smug Snake: They are quite imperious and condescending towards anyone they meet, especially the hyenas.
- Villainous Glutton: When the hyenas leave them the Pride Lands uninterrupted, they eat enough that they're obese after a few months. They can't stop talking about what they want to eat and compare each dish they ate.
Toucan Dan
"I am not Toucan Dan!"
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett
Toucan Dan is a dangerously clever criminal mastermind toucan who can make anyone believe anything he says.
- Artistic License – Ornithology: He is able to crush a snail shell with his bill, which is described as being used for "seizing and crushing". In reality, toucan bills are hollow and not strong enough to crush even soft fruit. The "seizing" part is accurate, however.
- Con Man: He can make anyone believe anything he says, including tricking Timon into thinking he's Santa Claus.
- Feathered Fiend: A toucan who is a criminal mastermind.
- Shown Their Work: Toucans are fearsome birds, preying on small animals including other birds and are known nest raiders. Portraying one as a villain doesn't seem so farfetched.
The Vulture Police
Vulture 1: Stop right there!
Vulture 2: You're under arrest!
Vulture 1 voiced by: Townsend Coleman
Vulture 2 voiced by: Brian Cummings
The vulture police are a pair of fast-talking buzzards who are policemen of the jungle.
- Detective Animal: When Timon and Toucan Dan disguise as each other, the vulture police help Pumbaa identify which is which.
- Police Are Useless: In "Yosemite Remedy", they release a raccoon criminal after he convinced them that he found Timon and Pumbaa's suitcase instead of stealing it, while in reality, he did steal the valuables that were in the suitcase. As a result, Timon decides to take matters into his own hands. They do, however, end up arresting the criminal when they find out he stole Timon and Pumbaa's valuables.
- Punch-Clock Villain: They're only doing their jobs, but they tend to hinder Timon and Pumbaa more often than they help them out.
- Vile Vulture: Inverted. They are vultures who are on the side of the law, though they tend to not offer much help to Timon and Pumbaa.
Ned the Elephant
"That is, without a doubt, the most ridiculous thing that I've ever seen in my entire life!"
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Ned is a high and mighty elephant who thinks he's wonderful at everything. He seems to enjoy teasing Timon and Pumbaa whenever they try to prove their worth to him.
- Alpha Bitch: Is the most popular animal in the jungle, according to "Uganda Be An Elephant", but tends to lord it over other animals.
- Cruel Elephant: Downplayed. Ned is not particularly evil, but he's pompous, arrogant and quick to make fun of those he considers inferior.
- Smug Snake: An arrogant, high-and-mighty elephant who's quite condescending and snobbish to lesser animals.
The Natives
- Voiced by: Jeff Bennett
The natives are a group of indigenous peoples who live mostly in Bora Bora. They are revealed to be university students looking for a job.
- Verbal Tic: The chief precedes everything he says with "Bungala Bungala". (i.e. "Bungala bungala, you goofs!")
Little Jimmy
"I'll put a contract down on you!"
Voiced by: Joe Alaskey
Little Jimmy is a cute, yet dangerous bluebird. He appears to have two voices: his adorable, innocent voice and his criminal mastermind voice. When he gets turned in by Timon and Pumbaa, he becomes cellmates with Smolder the Bear.
- Cute Is Evil: At first, he presents himself as helpless, adorable-looking bluebird with an innocent voice. When his true nature as a criminal mastermind is revealed, he tends to look a bit older.
- Feathered Fiend: A bluebird who pretends to be helpless and innocent, but is really a criminal mastermind.
- The Napoleon: He's small and evil.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: He tends to present himself as a helpless little bluebird.
Rabbit
"You and me, Timon and Rabbit, will be the greatest magic act the Serengeti has ever seen!"
Voiced by: Charlie Adler
Rabbit is a large pink bunny who started out as a neutral character, but later became an antagonist. He appears to be annoying, obnoxious, and very tiring to Timon and Pumbaa.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: He's a pink bunny.
- Gonk: Possibly the most unsavory-looking character in the entire Lion King franchise.
- No Name Given: He's referred to as simply "the rabbit".
- Rascally Rabbit: In "Africa Dabra!", he tells Pumbaa that Timon no longer wants to be friends with him so that the warthog wouldn't interfere with their magic act. The duo manages to reconcile by the end, as well as put the rabbit in his place.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In his first appearance, "Mojave Desserted", he is thankful for Timon and Pumbaa saving his life and vows to be friends with them forever. But by his second and final appearance in "Africa Dabra!", he attempts to destroy the duo's friendship.
Tatiana

Voiced by: Tress MacNeille
Tatiana is a meerkat who is the daughter of the Duke meerkat and Timon's former love interest back at the meerkat colony. After being rescued by Timon from a cobra, the two meerkats are about to get married, until the Duke (Tatiana's father) forces Timon to choose between her or Pumbaa.
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: She wears a blue hairbow and silver crown.

- Furry Female Mane: Light blonde hair.
Sharla
- Voiced by: Billy West
Sharla is a warthog who is Pumbaa's former love interest back at the warthog sounder. She and the three male warthogs banished Pumbaa from the group due to his gas odor. Despite that, Sharla still has romantic feelings for the warthog outcast.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: She's pink.
- Old Flame: To Pumbaa. She still harbours feelings for him even after she banished him from the sounder, and she even offers to take him back in after he risks his life to save the sounder from the guineafowl.
Monti

- Replacement Goldfish: As mentioned, he briefly becomes Pumbaa's new friend.
Baampu

Pumbaa Jr.
- Voiced by: Nancy Cartwright
Pumbaa Jr. is an alligator who gets raised by Timon and Pumbaa until he finds a female mate and gets sent to a chicken barn. Despite being an alligator, Timon mistakes him to be an "ugly chicken", as he believes that only chickens lay eggs.
- Cheerful Child: Is generally very upbeat and friendly - until he eavesdrops on Timon's hurtful remarks.
- Face of a Thug: Pumbaa Jr. is a genuinely friendly and innocent child, but he is an alligator. Timon even consistently refers to him as "an ugly chicken".
- Green Gators: A typically green alligator.
- Happily Adopted: Was this with Pumbaa for a while.
- Motor Mouth: He talks quickly, and constantly.
- Never Smile at a Crocodile: Is this for Timon specifically. Pumbaa Jr. is a cheerful and inquisitive kid, but his alligator instincts - specifically for biting things - keep causing Timon pain and annoyance.
- The Runaway: He runs away after overhearing Timon's remarks about how he ought to be with his own species.
Ralph and Eduardo
Eddie: Ralph, I got your horseradish, Ralph! Here's the radish and there's the horse.
Ralph: Not a horse and a radish! I wanted a horseradish type of condiment food product!
Ralph voiced by: Rob Paulsen
Eddie voiced by: Richard Karron
Ralph and Eduardo "Eddie" are a pair of villainous snakes who create an all-you-can-eat bug buffet in order to capture and eat Timon and Pumbaa.
- The Ditz: Eddie is clearly not the brains of the outfit - as demonstrated by the above quote, he thought "horseradish" was a horse and a radish separately!
- Exit, Pursued by a Bear: The two snakes are chased off by a giant, chainsaw-wielding piranha at the end of the episode.
- It's All About Me: Ralph shows traits of this, as he imagines himself as a superhero and a movie star on the red carpet at one point.
- Jerkass: While neither of the snakes are nice, as they fully intend to eat Timon and Pumbaa, Ralph is the meaner of the two, showing no qualms about hitting and insulting Eddie for his lack of smarts.
- Non-Mammalian Hair: Eduardo has a full head of red hair and Ralph has sparse strands of hair.
- Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Ralph, while literally a Smug Snake, is a clever and cunning Manipulative Bastard who uses his intellect to entrap other animals, contrary to the much more buffoonish and ditzy Eddie.
- Villainous Glutton: They set up the fake bug buffet to fatten up and trap Timon and Pumbaa for their own dinner.
Nefu
- Voiced by: Tahj Mowry
