** Smolder can be terrifying when he's angry in general. In "Don't Wake the Neighbear", he came so close to hurting Timon and Pumbaa due to them unintentionally disturbing his sleep. Also, in "Ready, Aim, Fire", he shows Timon and Pumbaa that [[AdultFear he ate two children]] [[AndIMustScream alive]] for lighting a fire, as he warns them that he'll do the same to them if they do what the kids did.

* Bahuka in "Oahu Wahoo". He is a powerful talking tiki statue who ''only'' Timon can hear. In addition to being overly demanding, he is quite deadly and vengeful, as he puts very little value on life. He will also threaten your life if you are to even question your obedience to him. When Timon throws Bahuka into the volcano, the statue wipes out the entire island, nearly killing Timon and Pumbaa.

* Simon from "Big Top Breakfast" gets hit with this. He is a young circus monkey who falls out of a plane (therefore getting separated from his father, who is unaware as he is taking a nap) and gets stranded in the Serengeti with three hungry hyenas trying to catch and eat him, with one moment where he nearly gets swallowed whole by Banzai, and if Shenzi didn't interfere, the young monkey would've been done for.

* There's just something unnerving about Bruce the land crab in "Back Out in the Outback" that makes it uncomfortable to watch. The way he [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] [[ButtMonkey Timon]] and is suddenly happy to see him at the end of the episode for no reason, is VERY unsettling.

* The constant over-the-top, cartoony expressions the characters often give are just nerve-wracking.
* Timon and occasionally Pumbaa's furious expressions are often simply ''terrifying''.



* Timon stretching out Pumbaa's nose in "Uganda Be An Elephant".
** Also in that same episode, the scene where Ned and his hippo henchmen are about to plummet to their deaths. The scariest part is when the branch Ned was hanging on to ends up breaking when he grabs on to one of Pumbaa's tusks. Good thing Pumbaa was strong enough to drag Ned and the hippos back to the edge of the cliff, otherwise he would have fallen and died as well. The reaction Timon had when he saw this would be the exact same reaction one would likely have the first time they see this episode.
* The amount of AmusingInjuries is quite cringe-worthy, considering the tone of the film these characters are based on.

* Timon being cursed by gypsy moth Madame Credenza in "Beetle Romania". This results in Timon getting transformed into a beetle the next morning and getting eaten by ''his best friend'', as he mistakes him for a real bug.

* Pumbaa being crushed by a giant anchor in "Frantic Atlantic" due to Irwin's accident-prone nature. Considering that this particular moment is what Pumbaa remembers the most in "Shopping Mauled" whenever Timon reminds him of how clumsy Irwin is, this may have been a traumatic experience for Pumbaa.
-> '''Pumbaa:''' Gee, I've never been crushed by a big heavy anchor before. That hurts!
