If his family is endangered, Mufasa exposes his protective side, ready to throw himself into danger to keep those he loves safe. Mufasa is ultimately portrayed as an 'ideal king' powerful, yet kind-hearted, which is contrasted to the deceitfulness and lust for power of Scar. His wisdom touches through on his understanding of responsibility and his willingness to set aside personal gain to better the Pride Lands. His lessons leave a deep imprint on Simba, who learns from his father that every creature must be respected for balance to be maintained.

His rule over the Pride Lands results in a period of prosperity, reflecting his reasonable and responsible approach to kingship. As a king and a father, Mufasa is instructive and wise, borne down by years of experience and instruction. He is not strictly business, often playing games with his majordomo Zazu, and is unafraid of showing affection, as seen when he greets Rafiki with a hug before the presentation of Simba. One day, Zazu notices some vultures hovering and he asks Mufasa if he wants to fly over and see what's happening, but he is not concerned and decides to nap instead, but he later tells Mufasa that Sarabi is stuck in a pit and can't get out, but Zazu finds a tree trunk, which ultimately saves Sarabi, and Mufasa realizes that Zazu is useful around and he points him as a royal advisor, after his father's death he becomes the new king of Pride Rock, shortly thereafter he had a son named Simba which causes Scar to become even more jealous knowing that his nephew will inherit the throne someday and he couldn’t.ĭespite his majestic exterior, Mufasa is kind-hearted and playful, showing respect for all the creatures, even those who are perceived as lower than himself. However, Scar became increasingly jealous of his brother’s position, partially due to the venom from his wound, and tries to overthrow him by using his roar, but ends up losing it for doing such.Ī little while later, a red-billed hornbill named Zazu was almost getting cooked alive by the hyenas until Mufasa frightens them off making Zazu thankful and hopes he can be of service to the future king, which he doubts, Zazu eventually follows him around making the future king tired, Zazu disturbs his hunt and his primate time with his future mate Sarabi. In response, Mufasa playfully nicknamed him 'Scar,' after the facial wound he had received from the incident. He informed Mufasa of his victory over a rogue lion’s attempt to take over the Pride Lands. When the two were adolescents, Askari returned to Pride Rock after a solo patrol in the Outlands. Mufasa was born the first son of Ahadi and Uru, in Pride Rock, the eldest brother of Askari, and as the heir to the throne of Pride Rock, while his younger brother served as the leader of the Lion Guard.
