Contents
Background
Personality
Claudius is a very mean, vicious lion who supposedly hasn't lost a fight in his life. He is also one of the few characters who doesn't have any spoken dialogue – because of this not much is known about his personality.
Physical Description
Claudius has a black mane and dark brown skin. He closely resembles Scar, except he doesn't have a scar over his left eye.
Role in the series
Claudius was the current champion of the Roman arena. He is pitted against Simba because he was seen as weak, as he could not eat Timon and Pumbaa.
Timon and Pumbaa visit Claudius on the night before the fight to stop the conflict from happening. They try everything to keep Claudius from fighting Simba, but nothing works. Claudius eventually loses his patience and throws them away from his cage.
On the day of the fight, Claudius is getting ready to fight Simba, but instead he falls asleep due to Timon and Pumbaa disturbing him the whole night. When he is asleep, Timon gives him a milk bottle.
