This trio of hysterical hyenas are [[Scar]]'s personal lackeys, and first appeared in ''The Lion King''. Despite being percieved as villains in the film, the trio became some of the film's most popular characters, and are greatly appreciated for their humor; a trend that was continued into ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

== The Hyenas ==
===Shenzi===
 
'''Shenzi''' is the female of the trio. She appears as the dominant one, seeming to be the most intelligent of the hyenas. She is constantly insulting the two males and resents the bumbling ones, although signs of friendship are shown. Her full name is '''Shenzi Marie Predatora Veldetta Jackalina Hyena'''. Her name means "savage", "pagan", "uncouth", or "barbarous". In the movie, she is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Tress McNeille.
 
===Banzai===
'''Banzai''' is the slyest of the group. Constantly hungry and moaning for food, he scuttles round the place for food. His name means 'skulk' or 'lurk'. In the movie and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is voiced by Cheech Marin.
 
===Ed===
'''Ed''' appears as the least intelligent of the group. He is always smiling and laughs uncontrollably at anything. He never speaks at all, except for a minor part where he sings in Scar's ''Be Prepared''. He is always the butt of jokes within the trio. He is voiced by Jim Cummings in the movie and the game.
 
== ''Kingdom Hearts II'' ==
In the game, the trio are desperate for food and try and eat [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]]. They fail, but then try and eat [[Timon]] and [[Pumbaa]]. Sora and co. save the two friends by defeating the hyenas in a boss battle.
 
Later on in the game, the trio of hyenas are fought again for information on the source of Scar's ghost. They know nothing of the ghost, and taunt [[Simba]] about it. They are not seen again after that.
 
==Shenzi's Battle Quotes==
*"''Move it, move it, MOVE IT!''"
*"''You better move.''"
*"''Move it or lose it pal!''"
*"''Ow...that hurt.''"
==Banzai's Battle Quotes==
*"''Out of the way!''"
*"''Yea, can't keep up.''"
*"''I'm hungry!''
*"''OK you win.''"
==Ed's Battle Quotes==
*"''Haaaaaa!''"
*"''Uhhhhh!''"
==Trivia==
 
* Of all villains in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' history, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed get the closest to killing Sora once and for all. The only reason they don't is because Banzai decides they should go see what Scar wants after he roars.
