Personality

Shenzi:

Shenzi (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg) is the just female of the trio. According to Timon in The Lion Rex ane½, her total name is Shenzi Marie Predatora Veldetta Jacquelina Hyena. Her proper noun means "savage", "heathen", "uncouth", or "barbarous" in Swahili. Her distinguishing features are five prominent bangs hanging over her face and a mane that reaches all the fashion to her bangs. She also lacks the nighttime gray 'stubble' snout of the males, the nighttime patches around her eyes are shaped to resemble heavily applied middle-shadow, and she has thicker lips with what seems to be black lipstick.

She is assertive, collected and possesses a considerable amount of self-control, only very rarely losing her temper. This makes her the de facto leader of the trio, and obviously the Matriarch of the clan of hyenas. Her authorization is so accented that she has no demand to exert physical force over other hyenas - Banzai and Ed consistently follow her orders without her needing to fight them - whether they are to stop fighting, remain where they are, or fifty-fifty to lie to Scar.

Shenzi's main business is the well-beingness of her Clan. She allies the Clan with Scar even though the hyenas dislike the lions only to provide for them, tells Scar that Simba is dead to get them into the Pride Lands, and is even unafraid of informing him that there'south no food or water left, meaning the Clan is starving. When Scar tries to pin Mufasa'southward death on the hyenas at the end, she doesn't hesitate to inform the Clan of his betrayal, resulting in his emptying. And in Simba'due south Pride, she presumably has taken the Association away from the Elephant Graveyard to detect better hunting grounds.

Shenzi was originally going to be male and played past Tommy Chong, reuniting him with his old comedy partner Cheech Marin, who was playing Banzai, but apparently the ii had had a falling out. Many of Shenzi's facial expressions and voice were copied from her voice actress, Whoopi Goldberg.

Banzai:

Banzai (voiced by Cheech Marin) is the most aggressive (and arguably the well-nigh abusive) of the trio. Different the calmer, more intelligent Shenzi, he has almost no self-control and is always set up to lash out or commencement a fight. Yet, considering he thinks with his muscles first and his head second, and has a tendency to speak without thinking, he is not the leader of the trio and ever submits to Shenzi, consistently obeying her orders.

His name ways "skulk" or "lurk" in Swahili. It can also mean "die with honor" or "x thousand years" in Japanese, possibly a reference to his ambitious nature but more probable coincidental. His most distinguishing feature is his unusually heavy eyebrows. Apart from these, he is the model for nigh generic hyenas. He is the greediest of the iii, frequently making references to beingness hungry, and request for food. He as well usually speaks and acts without thinking, losing his temper with Ed twice, and complaining when the Pride Lands lacks food under Scar's rule ("It'due south dinnertime, and nosotros ain't got no stinkin' entrees!"). He even quietly remarks to his friends that Mufasa was a better king than Scar. In addition, when about to commence the Wildebeest Stampede, he most tried to kill and consume a ill Wildebeest before Scar gave them the signal, but was stopped by Shenzi, reminding him near waiting for Scar's signal.

He is wounded twice in the film, the showtime time in taking the worst injuries, Banzai's buttocks were severely lacerated by Mufasa's sharp claws, causing him to be unable to sit down for a week, (I won't be able to sit for a week) he tells Shenzi and Ed, and secondly when he is knocked into a thorn patch while chasing Simba out of the Pride Lands. (Talk almost deja vu.)

Ed:

Ed (voiced past Jim Cummings) is one of the few characters not to have a Swahili proper noun. However, there exists in English the word eddy meaning whirlpool.

Ed is plain the 'crazy guy' of the trio. His distinguishing features are ii round cuts on each ear, he is constantly grin, his tongue often lolls from his rima oris and his eyes rarely seem to focus on anything. Also, he has no eyebrows. He communicates through laughter, his only line of dialogue being the chorus of the song Be Prepared (mostly because Jim Cummings was filling in Jeremy Irons'/Scar's lines at this point). When amused past annihilation, he cannot control his laughter.

In the special edition of The Lion King DVD, character profiling reveals that Ed is neither stupid nor completely insane; he "knows the score". However, for whatever reason, he chooses not to speak (although some of Shenzi and Banzai's reactions to his laughter seem to indicate that they are able to translate his laughter to meaningful language anyways). He oftentimes displays lucidity, being the first to observe Simba, Nala and Zazu escaping while his two peers are decorated cracking jokes about eating them. When Shenzi comments that the hyenas would be running the evidence if the lions weren't around, he nods in agreement, listening to the conversation. And when Scar betrays the hyenas at the end, he understands that they have been betrayed but as well as Shenzi and Banzai, and is just as angry as they are. In addition, both Banzai and Shenzi have waited until Ed's reply before deciding on a response or a proper class of action at least twice: The first time when Shenzi and Banzai were rhetorically request who was nowadays in the Elephant Graveyard, and the second when noting that Scar had earlier called them their enemies before exacting revenge with the other Hyena Association members. However, when they were attacked by Mufasa and Shenzi and Banzai denied knowing that Simba was his son, Ed confirmed it; during a scuffle with Banzai, he chews on his own leg obliviously; he has numerous 'episodes' during which he stares vacantly, and cannot command his laughter. Ed'southward beliefs is reminiscent of a Manic Depressive (aka Bipolar Disorder). Jim Cummings recorded over four hours of various laughter clips for any situation Ed might be in; excited, tickled, aroused, etc.

The Lion King

The hyenas first appear in the Elephant Graveyard that Simba and Nala venture into. The hyenas, under Scar's orders, chase the cubs in an attempt to kill them. While in pursuit, Shenzi catches upward with Nala, and is about to vicious her when she is struck by Simba, which results in three visible blood-like scratches on her cheek. The hyenas push Zazu into a 'birdie boiler', they program to kill Simbia and Nala and corner Simba and Nala merely are thwarted past Mufasa's arrival. They set on him, but are quickly defeated and frightened off.

Later, Scar arrives in the Elephant Graveyard, to tell off the hyenas for failing to kill Simba. However, after Banzai and Shenzi ask sardonically whether Scar should kill Mufasa to merits the throne while feasting on a Zebra'south leg that Scar supplied to them (Shenzi: So, what do you expect to practise? Banzai: Yeah? Impale Mufasa?), they unwittingly gave him an idea: He so informs them of the newly-formed plan to impale both Mufasa and Simba during the song "Be Prepared". Subsequently, they help Scar carry out his program to kill Mufasa by triggering the wildebeest stampede. Immediately subsequently Scar tells Simba to run away and never return, he commands the hyenas to kill Simba too, only Simba falls into thorny bushes where the hyenas can't follow him. Shenzi decides that Simba is as good as dead out alone in the desert, that if he survives he probably won't come back (not unreasonable assumptions), and that IF he comes back, they'll kill him then. The entire pack then enters the Pride Lands.

Years into Scar's reign, the hyenas' excessive presence in the Pride Lands has damaged the ecological rest. They come up to Scar's cave to inform him that there'south no food or water, and that the lionesses refuse to follow his orders. Banzai quietly remarks that things were amend under Mufasa. Scar angrily orders Banzai to echo what he just said, and Banzai rapidly corrects himself by proverb that he simply said "Que Pasa?". All the same touchy virtually Banzai'southward remark and angry at existence compared unfavorably to his brother, Scar throws them out without listening to their complaints.

When Simba returns to overthrow Scar, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed grew worried when Scar learned that Simba was live and backed abroad (Scar glared at them, indicating that he plant out that the hyenas have non done their job, and that Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed had presumably never informed Scar of that development), but and so the hyenas demonstrate their connected loyalty to Scar by joining the fight on his side, but most are defeated, and Shenzi and Banzai are ruthlessly beaten upwardly past Pumbaa for calling him a "grunter" while Ed watches. When Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed overhear Scar trying to foist all blame for the plot on them to Simba, they furiously turn against their erstwhile boss. Alerting the other hyenas to his treachery, they corner Scar after he is defeated by Simba. Scar frantically tries to absolve himself, but the hyenas have had enough of his lies, derogatory treatment, and broken promises, they jump on Scar and tear him to ribbons equally flames raise effectually them.

The Lion Rex Ii: Simba's Pride

In the direct-to-video sequel, Zira was going to be accompanied by the hyenas who served equally her army instead of the Outsiders.

The Lion Rex 1½

In the straight-to-video midquel The Panthera leo King 1½, the hyenas have a fairly major role in setting the story rolling and serve as the picture show's main antagonists (seeing as Scar has no lines and makes only very cursory appearances).

In their first appearance, they attack a meerkat colony when Timon, who is the watch on duty of the colony, is heedless. They fail to catch any meerkats, only this incident drives Timon to get out the colony to detect where he truly belongs. The hyenas make an appearance again during the picture show'south climax at Pride Rock. Some anonymous hyenas are seen chasing Timon and Pumbaa into a cave (afterwards the Hula song in the first moving picture), and are driven away past Pumbaa's flatulence.

Timon and Pumbaa insult the hyenas to get them abroad from Simba and so that he has a better chance against Scar - Ed as usual laughs at the joke, and Banzai hits him, while Shenzi tells them, "For your last meal, you're gonna eat those words." Eventually, Timon and Pumbaa are cornered by the hyenas.

Timon showtime balances plates, then performs the tin-tin, which stalls the hyenas briefly, so breakdances with Pumbaa, which Shenzi applauds to before simply agreeing with Banzai to eat them. Finally, he proposes to Shenzi as a desperate move to buy fourth dimension for his mother and Uncle Max as they dig a tunnel, which she turns downward, becoming more and more than disgusted at his proposal. Banzai seems to realize Timon is trying to buy fourth dimension for something, and says, "I say we skip the wedding and get straight to the cafe!" However, this has bought but enough fourth dimension and the hyenas then fall into the tunnel, which transports them to base of Pride Rock, just in time for them to notice Scar and kill him.
