Info

I came to the summit to show I'm a good leader, to help my float and the Pride Lands, but none of you gave me a chance. Instead, for my efforts, I get this. This plot... Worthy of a crocodile.

–Makuu, The Savannah Summit

Makuu is an adult male crocodile that resides in the Pride Lands. He is the current leader of his float. He serves as a major antagonist Season 1, and later a reformed character in Season 2.

Appearance[]

Makuu is a large crocodile with bright green scales and a light green underbelly. He has several dark green scales running along his back and on his tail. He has some light green spots running along his back, and small black claws. Makuu has a long snout, and his eyes are yellow. Physically, he is also very strong.

Personality[]

I'm not afraid of anyone.

–Makuu to Pua, The Rise of Makuu

When initially introduced, Makuu is a young and courageous crocodile, but is also very prideful and arrogant. While he is no doubt strong, he is fairly mean-spirited and disrespectful towards others, always eager to pick a fight, believing that physical strength is the most important part of being a leader. Though physically tough and powerful, Basi notes that his fighting technique is inferior to that of Pua's. He believes that only weak and cowardly leaders are afraid to fight. Makuu does, however, know when he cannot win a fight, and will back down if so. He can be power-hungry and has no regard for the rules, especially when it comes to the Flood Plains.

As the dry season comes near, Makuu discards his old ways becomes more responsible over time, wanting to ensure the survival of his float. He appears to have gained respect for the Circle of Life and the monarchy. He is willing to negotiate peacefully for the benefit of his float and the other Pride Landers, and will also show respect towards those that behave as his species does. Despite this, Makuu initially had problems with teamwork and was highly iritable towards Pride Landers who were not crocodiles as he and his float were highly independent and expected othe animals to be the same way as shown in "Pride Landers Unite". This changes after the Lion Guards's new army help save Makuu's float and watering fall from an attack by the Outlanders. He thanks the Pride Landers for their help and promises to return the favor whenever they need help. 

He is very intolerant of anyone in his float going against his direct orders, and shows that he is able to forgive those that make a mistake. He also views the safety of his float as being more important than his own wellbeing, a sign he has grown well into his new role.

History[]

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar[]

Return-of-the-Roar (106)

Makuu startles Kion.

Makuu is seen sleeping peacefully in the water near some hippos. However, Bunga leaps over his head whilst playing Baobab Ball, waking him up promptly after he lands on his nose. As Kion approaches shortly after his friend leaps away, Makuu turns and growls, startling the young cub.

He believes that Pua is weak, and challenges him to a Mashindano, which Pua accepts. At sunset, the two go into battle. Even though Makuu's techniques

are poor, his strength and youth secure him his victory. Makuu becomes the new leader and watches with great delight as Pua is banished from the Crocodile Float, taunting him as he leaves.

After becoming the leader, Makuu takes over Big Springs, which causes the rest of the (animals to scatter throughout the Pride Lands. Kion and the Guard try to reason with Makuu but he refuses to listen and demands a fight. When Kion refuses to fight, Makuu assumes that Kion is afraid, which Kion denies.

But with Mufasa's words of wisdom, the Lion Guard returns to the

crocodile leader telling him that if he wants a fight, then the Lion Guard will bring it. After Makuu sees Kion demonstrating the Roar of the Elders in the Grove of Trees, he and the rest of the crocodiles leave Big Springs. Before they clear out, Basi tells Makuu that he is welcome back once the fish have repopulated.

The Kupatana Celebration[]

The-Kupatana-Celebration (748)

Makuu at the Kupatana Celebration

During the song Jackal Style, the jackal pups snatch a fish away from Makuu, who splashes back into the water.

Makuu is later seen at The Kupatana Celebration standing next to another crocodile before allowing a jerboa to pass by him.

The Call of the Drongo[]

Though Makuu does not appear in this episode, a drongo bird named Tamaa imitates his voice multiple times throughout the episode.

Never Roar Again[]

Never-Roar-Again (502)

Makuu emerges from the water after hearing Kion's confession

Makuu overhears Kion tell Bunga that he has plans to quit using the Roar forever. When they leave, Makuu has an idea. When another member of his float asks if they're going back to Big Springs, Makuu informs him that they're going for something else.
Never-Roar-Again (539)

Makuu takes over The Flood Plains

Soon after, Makuu and his float take over The Flood Plains, driving all the other animals out by force, including a mongoose and Thurston. The mongoose bumps into Fuli and relays the information to her, and soon she, Bunga and Beshte arrive at the scene. They order Makuu to leave and, when he refuses, Fuli tackles him whilst Bunga and Beshte deal with two other crocodiles. Fuli is nimble enough to avoid most of Makuu's attacks, but soon falls prey to his technique. When she falls into the water and scurries onto Beshte's back, he reveals that the rest of his float are present, surrounding the trio.
Never-Roar-Again (746)

"What are you going to do, Kion? Roar at me? And risk hurting your mom? Again?"

Kion and his mother Nala approach Makuu soon after, having heard from Ono of the problem. They explain that Makuu is free to share The Flood Plains, but he is not entitled to all of it. He responds by forcing Nala into the water, and getting his float to surround her. With the belief that Kion won't use his Roar to avoid hurting his mother, he taunts the lion cub. Kion then tries something new, which saves his mother from the crocs. He assertively demands Makuu leave, and uses the Roar of the Elders to throw Makuu out of The Flood Plains.

Beshte and the Hippo Lanes[]

Makuu and one of his float members locate Young Rhino, who is trapped among the reeds of the Flood Plains. He is sure no one will find him in the mess, but Beshte arrives just in time. Makuu thinks he has the upperhand with a two on one fight, but Basi arrives and then Makuu swims away saying that the hippos always follow the rules.

Beshte-and-the-Hippo-Lanes (737)

Makuu is unafraid of the hippos

Later during the day, another rainstorm breaks out and Makuu plus four of his float members locate a wounded Basi in the Flood Plains. He believes that taking out the hippo will mean no more rules to follow, and he starts to approach him when suddenly Beshte returns to defend his father. Makuu reminds them that they're outnumbered and that they're crocodiles, showing no fear. However, Beshte and Basi create a new Hippo Lane behind them. Makuu is adamant that they won't get away so easily and he orders his float members to follow them. They chase after the hippos which leads the float to Bupu's Herd as they stampede down the lane. He commands them to dive but despite diving, the crocodiles are trampled by their hooves. When the injured crocodiles surface, Beshte orders them to leave and they do so, in too much pain to try another attack.

Ono the Tickbird[]

Ono-the-Tickbird (628)

Makuu snaps at Mwenzi

After Mwenzi the tickbird falls out with his best friend, Kifaru the rhinoceros, he perches near a lake. Ono approaches him, and warns him that Makuu and his float frequent the area, but Mwenzi refuses to leave, untrusting of the egret. As the two speak, Makuu notices the pair nearby, but remains silent. Once Mwenzi has warmed up to Ono and the pair decide to leave, Makuu strikes the branch and Mwenzi, sending the tickbird soaring. Ono is able to save him from Makuu's jaws and places him on a high branch, but Mwenzi's wing has become injured. When Ono flies away to get help, Makuu laughs below.
Ono-the-Tickbird (685)

Reaching the branch

Makuu starts to smash his tail against the tree continually, hoping to knock the tickbird from his perch. Mwenzi is confident that he cannot be reached, but Makuu is adamant that he has a trick up his sleeve. He dives underwater and pounces up, snapping away a large portion of Mwenzi's branch. With the tickbird panting rapidly, Makuu assures him that he won't be so lucky next time. But before he has a chance to try a second time, Kifaru arrives to save his friend. But without his tickbird, the rhino races straight past Makuu and into a tree.
Ono-the-Tickbird (731)

Kion vs Makuu

Seeing a great opportunity, Makuu calls for the rest of his float. They approach the rhino, but are distracted by the Lion Guard's arrival. Annoyed by their presence, Makuu warns Kion to stay out of their business. When he angrily refuses, Makuu frustratedly, infuriatedly and ragefully pins the lion cub to the ground. With Makuu and the other crocodiles distracted, Mwenzi leaps down and starts to instruct Kifaru on how to get loose. Once free, the rhino knocks away the other crocodiles. With the danger rising, Makuu decides to give up, claiming the meal not to be worth it. But Kifaru, still furious, charges and knocks Makuu away himself. The crocodiles then retreat.

The Savannah Summit[]

The-Savannah-Summit (110)

Makuu is on his way to Pride Rock

As Makuu is the leader of the crocodiles, he heads over to Pride Rock after receiving an invitation from Simba to attend the Savannah Summit. But before Makuu can announce his arrival, he is pounced upon by Kion, refusing to let him ruin the summit. But the crocodile tells him to calm down as he was invited, to which Simba confirms. Makuu assures the King that he is grateful for the invitation and wishes to prove that he's serious about his leadership duties, leaving the other leaders wary and unsure. Then, he and the other leaders head to Mizimu Grove for the summit, with Zazu and Simba assuring him and everyone else that everyone is welcome. Once there, the Guard is impressed that the event is going well and that even Makuu is behaving himself. However, they soon realise that he's already missing, and Mtoto alerts them to Makuu's presence down at the watering hole.

The-Savannah-Summit (279)

Reasoning with Bupu

Then, Makuu is trying to make negotiations with Bupu by the Watering Hole. He explains that he and his float sleep during the dry season, and wish to do so near his Watering Hole. But Bupu refuses to compromise and takes a strike at Makuu, who strikes back in retaliation. The Lion Guard arrive on the scene, and try to work out the situation by placing Beshte between the quarreling pair. As Makuu explains what he was trying to do, Bupu attempts to strike him again, and Makuu retaliates again. Kion warns Makuu that he won't allow him to ruin it and Makuu slinks away, mentioning that he has no desire for a fight.

Later, Makuu tries to negotiate with Bupu again at Pride Rock with Simba's help, but Kion pounces on him again, believing him to be starting another attack. When his father reveals the truth, Enraged, Makuu furiously refuses to continue the negotiations since nobody will trust him. Simba assures Bupu that they will try again, but he too, refuses, claiming that negotiating is clearly not the crocodile way before leaving the king and his son.

The-Savannah-Summit (630)

Makuu thanking Kion for saving him

At sunset, the Lion Guard locate Makuu in a clearing, having heard an animal plan an attack on him. Although they explain that they're trying to protect him, Makuu scoffs at their attempt, asking what they could possibly save him from since he's a crocodile. He then crosses over some leaves and branches that were concealing a hole, and almost falls in. Beshte grabs him by the tail, and the rest of the Guard soon assist Beshte in getting Makuu back up. Makuu thanks Kion and, after discovering that the pit was full of rotten fruit, wonders out loud who would do such a thing. Kion then devises a plan to find out.

The-Savannah-Summit (711)

Makuu declares the summit to continue

At the summit, Kion stands before the other animals with his father watching nearby. He announces that Makuu fell into the pit but struggled to get out and completed his journey through the Circle of Life. With the animals starting to feel bad at how they treated Makuu, Twiga turns to Vuruga Vuruga and states out loud that they never meant for him to get hurt, and how they just wanted him to fall into the pit of the rotten fruit. After their confession, Makuu turns up. Makuu states that he joined the summit to be a good leader and to help his float, plus the Pride Lands, and mentions how badly he was treated. Even Kion bows his head in shame at his words. Much to their relief though, Makuu finds the plot amusing, and worthy of a crocodile. He then declares that the summit will go on.

After his speech, Bupu finally allows the crocs to sleep next to his watering hole. But Vuruga Vuruga decides that they should sleep near her herd's mud wallow, and the two start to fight over where Makuu's float should stay, prompting Simba's intervention.

The Lion Guard: The Rise of Scar[]

Makuu and his float are seen entering a cave to begin their hibernation, closely monitored by the Lion Guard, who prevent animals from disturbing them.

Let Sleeping Crocs Lie[]

Let-Sleeping-Crocs-Lie (31)

Makuu is woken up

As Makuu and his float sleep, the Lion Guard unknowingly drives a herd of antelope into a canyon close to their sleeping cave, which awakens the crocodiles. After Kiburi questions him, Makuu denies knowing what is happening, but states his determination to find out. He walks out of the cave, and is greeted by Bunga. Kion approaches him, and questions him, to which Makuu reveals the situation. He explains the crocodiles way of hibernating during the Dry Season. Ono states his responsibility for the dilemma, and after Kiburi threatens him, Makuu assists Kion in defending the egret.

Let-Sleeping-Crocs-Lie (214)

A misunderstanding

Trying to figure out what to do, Kion suggests that Makuu can talk to Simba, to which he agrees. Makuu tells his float to stay near the cave until he gets back. Kiburi tries to protest but Makuu asserts his authority. During the negotiation, Makuu explains to Simba the importance of the water that he and his float needs. Simba understands and assures him that he'll that have it. Makuu is grateful, wishing to resolve the matter peacefully. He is then alerted by Ono that his float is scattered everywhere, which angers Simba, thinking the crocodile leader actually didn't want to settle this peacefully. Makuu assures Simba that he wants to settle this peacefully and further states that his float is defying a direct order.
Let-Sleeping-Crocs-Lie (270)

The new water source

But just as he starts to leave to round up his float he is stopped by Simba saying that they are so close to a solution, and suggests that the Guard rounds up the crocodiles to which he agrees too. Makuu sees the fight between Kiburi and Kion which infuriates him and breaks up the fight by demanding his float member to explain what he's doing. Kiburi responds by saying what he should have told them to do. Makuu reminds Kiburi that he was going to talk to Simba about their predicament, and how he found a solution to their problem. However when Makuu sees that Kiburi isn't satisfied with the conditions the crocodile tries to reason with him, but suggests that Kiburi try the same actions in the Outlands.

Let-Sleeping-Crocs-Lie (390)

The Mashindano

Makuu is challenged by Kiburi to a Mashindano which Makuu accepts. The crocodile leader, reminds him of the tradition, but Kiburi already knows and awaits at Lake Matope at sunset. As, the duel begins Kiburi puts up a good fight but ultimately taps out, with Makuu winning the duel. He hears Kiburi boasts about his plan about defeating Simba. At the same time, the king returns unharmed but fuming at Kiburi. Makuu assures Simba he had no knowledge of this scheme. Simba immediately believes him and has him come up with the punishment due to his leadership with his float. Since Kiburi lost to the Mashindano, Makuu declares that Kiburi and his friends are banned from his float, and has the king come up with the punishment. Makuu watches with authority as Kiburi and his friends get banished to the Outlands. 

Let-Sleeping-Crocs-Lie (685)

"I forgive ya."

Back at their new dry season home, Ono apologizes to Makuu about waking the crocodiles up. Listening to Ono apologize Makuu tells the egret that he needs to make an example of him. Ono believes that Makuu was about to devour him due to his mysterious manner. However becoming more honorable, Makuu forgives the young Egret before he swims with his float. Simba asks Makuu if forgiveness is the new crocodile way. Makuu tells Simba that perhaps it is.

Rafiki's New Neighbors[]

Whilst resting with his float, Makuu is disturbed by Chama, Furaha, and Mzaha.

The Morning Report[]

The-Morning-Report (156)

Makuu rises

Kion remembers the day when he first met Pua and his float. After ditching Zazu, he and Bunga make their way over to Pua's watering hole, where Bunga shows his bravery by ordering the crocodiles to move out of their way while Kion remains cautious of their presence. Makuu and the rest of his float laugh but Bunga refuses to leave, challenging Makuu by mistake. When Kion also steps up to save his friend, Makuu and the crocs start to circle around the pair until Zazu drops down to introduce Kion as Simba's son.

The-Morning-Report (197)

Zazu's bravery

Pua is shocked at this revelation, but Makuu states that they challenged him. Pua agrees that rules are rules, and even Simba respects the ways of the crocodiles. Zazu agrees and states that he, too, understands their ways, and offers himself in exchange for Kion's freedom, by leaping into Makuu's mouth. This surprises Makuu, and Pua is impressed by such bravery. So, not wishing to upset the King, he allows the three to go free. Makuu reluctantly obliges to his leader's orders, grumbling that he wasn't that hungry anyway.

The Little Guy[]

Makuu is training his float, when the Lion Guard notice and start to intervene, believing them to be fighting without a cause. A gecko named Hodari halts their actions, explaining how the crocodiles are merely training to improve their techniques. Ono dejectedly confesses that he forgot, and the Guard apologize to Makuu, who promptly resumes training.

The-Little-Guy (126)

Makuu is hurt

Just then, Ono notices a herd of buffalo stampeding towards them. Kion warns Makuu, who in turn orders his float to move to higher ground, on a nearby cliff. Although everyone gets away from the herd, their stampeding causes a rockslide. When a large rock collapses onto the tail of a crocodile, Makuu swiftly removes the rock to save him, but is hit by another falling rock, injuring his foreleg. With the herd calmed down, Makuu comments that his float is safe, and that's what matters. He thanks the Lion Guard nonetheless.

The-Little-Guy (253)

Hodari's request

Makuu orders his float to continue sparring, while the Lion Guard return to their Morning Patrol. As they continue, Beshte and Hodari approach him, with the hippo explaining how his gecko friend has a question he'd like to ask. After stuttering, Makuu orders him to spit it out, eager to continue training. Hodari does so, and asks him if he can join his float, and to Give a Little Guy a Chance. Makuu and his float laugh at him and Makuu teasingly tells Hodari to leave before he gets squished. Much later, Makuu discovers from the Lion Guard that Kiburi and his float have recently been spotted in the Pride Lands. They offer him some help, but he denies, stating that crocodiles can take care of themselves.

The-Little-Guy (640)

Kiburi's attack

Not too long after, Kiburi's float approaches Makuu's, and the two engage in combat. Having learned all their moves from Hodari, Kiburi's float are easily able to counter the moves from Makuu's float members. With Makuu still injured, Kiburi quickly takes the upper-hand in the fight. Hodari reminds Kiburi that the crocodile way is for a Mashindano to take place, but he is swiped by Kiburi's tail into a tree. Makuu agrees and tells Kiburi that the gecko is right. However, Kiburi strikes Makuu again. Ono soon spots the ongoing attack, and, although Makuu doesn't want help, the Lion Guard decide that it is still their job to help anyway. They approach the battle scene, and start defending Makuu's float from their attackers. Kion tries to save Makuu, but is stopped by Tamka.

The-Little-Guy (753)

Makuu welcomes Hodari

Hodari notices that Makuu is in peril, and asks Beshte to get him close, hopping onto his snout. When close enough, Hodari hops onto Kiburi's snout and calls for Makuu to use the Wide Tail Spin, allowing him to be free. Makuu uses his tail again to furiously "Sma-Wack" and Tail Smash Kiburi in the face. With all of Kiburi's float in front of them, Kion proceeds to use the Roar of the Elders to send them home. Having seen Hodari's immense bravery and knowledge of the crocodile, Makuu commends the little gecko. He offers him a position in the float if he is still interested. When he accepts, Makuu announces him as an honorary crocodile, leaving Hodari to swell up with pride as his new float members chant his name in unison.

Cave of Secrets[]

During "The Wisdom on the Walls", one of the paintings of the past shows Makuu's victory over Pua in their mashindano.

Pride Landers Unite![]

When he arrives at Pride Rock he quickly gives orders to animals. Though discouraged at first, animals agree to obey his orders.  

Makuu begins to show movements to other animals. Unfortunately, they can't perform them because they haven't jaws or a long tail like crocodiles. The crocodile leader is getting frustrated. When Ma Tembo tells him that other animals are not crocodiles, Makuu in frustration tells them that they will be eaten by the inhabitants of Outlands. The elephants answer that of

course, they don't. Makuu orders them to return to the exercises.

When Boboka is unable to do the exercises, Makuu threatens to have her for lunch. Then Kion tells the crocodile off for intimidating others. Makuu argues that it's the crocodile way. Kion firmly states that it is his team, he is part of it and they must work together.  Fed up, Makuu says to Kion that he and the other Pride Landers can defend their territory their way and he and his float will do it their way.

Kion tries to reason with Makuu, but the crocodile is not having it so he takes his float and walks away.

Being attacked by the army

Makuu returns to his watering hole, still upset at the idea about the Pride Landers not being crocodiles and the fact he had to be kind to them. Just then Janja and his clan and Kiburi also arrive and a fight breaks out.  Ono notices the fight and informs Kion of what he saw. Kion wants to run there straight away, but Ono tells him that there are many Outlanders out there, and the Guard alone will not be able to deal with them.

Battle for the Pride Lands[]

Makuu and his float help everyone in the Pride Lands fight against Scar's army. Later that night when the vultures cause a fire on Pride Rock, Scar comes on top of Pride Rock shocking Makuu as he sees Scar for the first time. The herds almost consider calling off the attack and even Makuu questions how they can defeat Scar if he can set Pride Rock on fire. Janja soon arrives to tell everyone how to defeat Scar. Simba doesn't trust him at first but Makuu then attempts to convince him. Being a former villain hi

mself, he reminds Simba that he gave him a chance despite his previous villainous ways towards the Pride Landers when no one else would and that Janja deserves the same chance, especially if his information is useful to defeat Scar. He also claims that if Janja is lying, he and his float will personally punish him themselves by having the hyena for a late-night snack, scaring Janja. Kion agrees with Makuu and can convince Simba to at least hear Janja out. He tells Kion that only the most powerful roar he has will defeat Scar.

A herd of wildebeests seek the help of the Lion Guard after Makuu chases them away from the river and they leave their baby behind.

On Ono's path, Makuu overhears the Lion Guard searching for the baby wildebeest and decides to pounce after they find him. Makuu becomes confused when Ono talks in code to avoid them detecting the baby wildebeest.

On Bunga's path, Makuu and his float trap a baby wildebeest and use him as bait to lure the Lion Guard there.

When the Guard try to rescue the baby, the crocodiles surround them. Kion warns Makuu to let him go but Makuu refuses, claiming it to be his land. But Beshte arrives to save his friends, throwing mud into the mouths of the float members, causing them to back down.

Trivia[]

  • Makuu was misnamed Mapu on an official Disney site, even mistaking him as an alligator, despite alligators not being native to Africa. Although his name was corrected on the site, his species was not.[1]
  • It should be noted, however, Makuu's teeth are more similar to an alligator's in that the only upper teeth sticks out when he closes his mouth. Being a crocodile, his lower teeth should also be sticking out.
  • Makuu is the first reformed villain in the show.
  • Makuu was confirmed to be returning in Season 2 ahead of time along Jasiri, Reirei and Ushari.[2]
  • Makuu was also confirmed to be returning in Season 3 ahead of time along with Scar, Reirei, Ushari, Jasiri, Hadithi, and Kiburi.[3]
