Role in series
The Three Natives have a leader who's also a university student and starts talking by saying, "Bungala, bungala."

The Three Natives appear in "Boara Boara," "Mozam-Beaked," "New Guinea Pig," and "Beast of Eden."

Boara Boara
The Natives capture Pumbaa to eat him. But the leader mistakes the warthog for their god-king and tells the three to treat him like one. When Timon is about to escape with Pumbaa, the Natives are about to throw the meerkat into a volcano, but then they make him be Pumbaa's servant. Things are going well until a fire turns off and the leader of the Natives asks Pumbaa to relight it. Pumbaa relights the fire, but then it rains and the Natives realize that Pumbaa is an imposter and they go chasing Timon and Pumbaa.

Mozam-Beaked
The Natives make a brief appearance in this episode, when a taxi takes Timon and Pumbaa to the volcano to throw the woodpecker into it.

New Guinea Pig
When Pumbaa gets tired of his tusks, he and Timon open a Tusk Museum to sell them to the Natives. But when Pumbaa is unable to take off his tusks, the Natives take out their weapons to catch and kill the warthog and cut his tusks off.

Beast of Eden
The Natives steal the beast's magic gold tooth. Timon and Pumbaa try several ways to retrieve it from them. After the beast gets his tooth back, he chases the Three Natives and their leader.
