Lion Guard

"We're the Lion Guard, Janja. We defend the Circle of Life."

- Kion to Janja The Lion Guard are a team of animals who's duty is to protect the Pride Lands and the Circle of Life; led by Kion and formerly led by Scar. Their meeting place is the Lair of the Lion Guard.

Background
The Lion Guard is a group tasked with the job of defending the Pride Lands from danger, and is traditionally led by the second-born cub of the monarch. The leader is bestowed with the Roar of the Elders, which helps them in battle. Each member is bestowed a marking upon their shoulder in the shape of a lion's head.

Scar led the Lion Guard before Kion, but he was irresponsible with his duties and abused his powers, using the Roar of the Elders to destroy the other members of the Guard.

Many years later, Kion, the second born child of Simba and Nala and Scar's great-nephew, inherits the power of the Roar of the Elders and he becomes the new leader of the new Lion Guard. Kion recruits his friends, Bunga, Ono, Beshte and Fuli, to be part of the new Lion Guard despite the fact they are not lions.

After being informed by Kiara, Simba confronts his son and scolds his decision.

Eventually, after Kion and his friends defeat Janja, Simba decides to accept Kion's decision and warmly welcomes the new Guard.
