'''Timon''' and '''Pumbaa''' is a meerkat and warthog, respectively, living in the [[Pride Lands]]. They only appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

Timon and Pumbaa grew up in the Oasis with [[Simba]], and the trio 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 Pumbaa pull their courage together to help fight [[Scar]]'s hyena army.

[[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] first encounter Timon and Pumbaa at the [[Oasis]] in the Pride Lands during their first visit. He and Pumbaa are hunted by [[Nala]], who is ready to pounce on them. However, she is stopped by the timely arrival of Simba, who joyfully reconnects with his childhood friend, much to Timon's incredulity. Though initially frightened by Sora's [[Lion Form|lion form]], Timon eventually forms a bond with him, even teaching him the meaning of Hakuna Matata alongside Pumbaa. 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.

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, though they are soon rescued by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Once Scar is defeated, Timon and Pumbaa witness Sora unlocking the world's [[Gate]], the former remarking on the resulting glow. <!--At the end of the final cutscene, he is shown to be quite nervous due to Timon's comment: "''What if [[Simba|he]] forgets to tell the predators who we are''?" with Pumbaa shortly responding apprehensively, "''I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOMEONE'S PORK DINNNNEEERR!''" finishing in a panic and running off in a dash.
