{{Q|Call me Mr. Pig!|Pumbaa}}
'''Pumbaa''' is a warthog living in the [[Pride Lands]] who only appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. He grew up in the Oasis with [[Timon]] and [[Simba]], and together lived a carefree life until [[Nala]] found Simba and tried to convince him to go back to the Pride Lands with her. With the help of [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]], he and Timon pulled their courage together to help fight [[Scar|Scar's]] hyena army. 

Pumbaa and Timon often say their motto ''Hakuna Matata'', which means ''no worries'' in Swahili.

==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
''The Lion King (1994)''

''A warthog and one of Simba's closest pals. He found Simba, almost dead of thirst, when he was just a cub. Pumbaa and his best buddy Timon taught Simba their motto, Hakuna Matata, which means "no worries."''

''Some folks are a bit put off by Pumbaa's pungency, but a kinder fellow you'll never find.''

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
====First Visit====
Pumbaa is not seen until much later in the first visit, and has very few lines throughout. The only things worth noting are his almost-being-eaten by Nala (similar to the movie), and his capture by the Hyenas [[Shenzi, Banzai and Ed]] which leads to a boss fight against the three hyenas.

While Sora and his friends were at the Oasis, he and Timon told them about Hakuna Matata. After Simba and Nala have an argument about going back to Pride Rock to take down Scar, the five of them enter the area chanting Hakuna Matata.

At the end of the final cutscene, he is shown to be quite nervous due to Timon's comment: "''What if he [Simba] forgets to tell the predators who we are''?" with Pumbaa shortly responding apprehensively, "''Yeah, and I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOMEONE'S PORK DIIIIINNNNEEERR!''" finishing in a panic and running off in a dash.

====Second Visit====
Pumbaa is scarcely seen in the second visit, and mostly only plays a role of hinting where you should go next. However, in the end, Pumbaa adds onto Timon's "''Live for today''" words by saying: "''And put your past behind you!''", moving in a carefree, joyous trot. He also shows courage by protecting Nala from Scar's Ghost up on Pride Rock, despite being frightened by the apparition.

==Appearance==
Pumbaa is a warthog with light tan fur and dark red [[wiki:Clover hoof|cloven hooves]]. His belly is grey and his eyes are brown. True to his species, Pumbaa sports two large, ivory tusks jutting out of either side of his mouth. The tips of these tusks curve upwards sharply. Pumbaa has a large, flat snout which is pink at the front. His ears are set just behind each of his eyes. He has a very large mouth and a pink tongue. Finally, Pumbaa sports a tuft of shaggy brown hair on the tip of his tail and on the top of his head, the latter creating a mohawk-like mane.

==Personality==
He usually has very little courage and is not much of a fighter, but whenever his friends need help, he will be there to protect them and make sure they are safe. However in the film (and towards the end of the first visit), he shows a different,strong, brave side of him whilst fighting the hyenas, in which he brutally pummels in a fit of rage, when they threaten his friends and called him a "pig".

==Trivia==
*''Pumbaa'' is the African word for Boar.
