Template:Enemy Timon is a meerkat living in the Pride Lands. He only appears in Kingdom Hearts II.
He grew up in the Oasis with Pumbaa 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, and Goofy, he and Pumbaa pull their courage together to help fight Scar's hyena army.
Pumbaa and Timon often say their motto Hakuna Matata, which means no worries.
Story
Kingdom Hearts II
On Sora, Donald, and Goofy's first visit, Timon is not seen until Simba is seen in the oasis. At this point, Timon looks a little emotional to a degree, noting to Pumbaa: "Look at 'him Pumbaa, look at how he's grown. Why, when I rescued the little guy, he was only this big" and then lowers his hand to level with his knee.
He is eventually met by Sora and the gang and teach them about Hakuna Matata, which means no worries. As he leads a conga line of sorts with him at the lead and Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Pumbaa in the back, he chants "Hakuna", while the others respond "Matata". However, this carefree antic is put to a stop by Simba's fight with Nala about going back to the Pride Land.
Later, Timon helps the entire group to try and take down Scar, alongside Pumbaa. However, their attempts ultimately fail and they are cornered by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed in a cave, which means it is Sora's responsibility to rescue them.
When Sora goes to unlock the world's Keyhole, Timon is present.
During the second visit, Timon is seen only scarcely, but ultimately helps Simba by telling him to "Live for today". He also gives some good advice before facing Groundshaker. Template:Section-stub
Personality
Timon is the erratic, wise-cracking, best friend of Pumbaa. Although short in stature, his personality is not. Timon is very self-absorbed, often claiming the genius ideas of Pumbaa as his own. Like Pumbaa, Timon has embraced the carefree motto of "Hakuna Matata," using it not only as a way of life, but also to cheer others up. Oftentimes, when the meerkat is in danger, he will cower behind Pumbaa as means of protection. Don't let that fool you though, Timon will gather up his courage to help a friend in need.
Appearance
Timon is a small meerkat with light tan fur over most of his body, save for the front, which has white fur. The tips of his toes, his fingers, half of his tail, and his large nose are all brown. The ridges of his ears and his "eyebrows" are dark red and his eyes are brown. He also has light brown rings around his eyes. Timon's ears point downward and he has an unexplained, short, spiky head of orange "hair" on the top of his head. His back sports several horizontal, grey stripes. Timon's forearms are unnaturally thin, particularly when compared to the size of his hands. The fur on his chest and elbows is ruffled.
Origin
Timon originates from the 1994 film The Lion King. After running away from the Pride Lands, a young, unconscious Simba collapses from heat exhaustion in the desert, where he was discovered by Timon and Pumbaa. Although Timon initially refuse Pumbaa's suggestion to take the young cub under their wing in fear that Simba might eat them, he agrees to take Simba in after Pumbaa persuaded him. After Simba awakened and introductions were made, Timon and Pumbaa spent the next few years teaching Simba their lifestyle in the jungle and their "Hakuna Matata" philosophy. When Simba's childhood friend, Nala, reunites with Simba, Timon and Pumbaa learn that Simba is the rightful heir to the Pride Lands, which was being ruled by Simba's villainous uncle, Scar.
Later, Timon and Pumbaa spy on Simba and Nala's romantic evening, depressed that they will lose their friend to her. The next morning, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa were informed by Rafiki, a mandrill friend of Simba and his father Mufasa, that Simba has returned to the Pride Lands to challenge Scar's for the throne. Joining Nala, Timon and Pumbaa follow her to the Pride Lands and was then forced to do a hula dance to distract Scar's hyena followers in order to to let Simba and Nala to sneak into the Pride Lands unnoticed. After being chased by Banzai, one of Scar's hyenas, Timon hurries into Scar's cave and ends up being locked in Zazu's cage. Fortunately, Pumbaa rescues him, freeing Zazu and Timon. After Scar's defeat, Timon and Pumbaa decide to stay and live at Pride Rock with Simba and Nala.
He also has his own animated television series, Timon and Pumbaa, which Pumbaa co-stars in, and is the main character of The Lion King 1½, which tells the story of the original movie from his perspective. Timon reappears as a supporting character in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
Trivia
- Timon, along with Captain Jack Sparrow, is voiced by James Arnold Taylor. His original voice actor is Nathan Lane, who was occasionally replaced in other media as Timon's voice by Quinton Flynn, who voices Axel and Lea in the Kingdom Hearts series.
