As the Phlogs travel down the river , Kneesaa and Latara return to Bright Tree Village to warn the Elders that the Phlogs have returned to the forest . As Wicket listens intensely to the conversation , Malani appears behind him and flirtatiously tries to get his attention . Wicket , however , shows no interest , instead listening closely to Logray , who warns the Ewoks to stay out of the Phlogs ' way . Meanwhile , the Phlogs are resting by the river when the baby Nahkee wanders off . He encounters a Zakool , which the young Phlog treats like a pet . When the Zakool runs off , the Phlog crawls after him . Instead of finding the Zakool , however , he is surrounded by Rakazzak beasts , which are controlled by Morag the Tulgah witch . Morag puts a spell on Nahkee , which puts him to sleep . The Rakazzak beasts carry Nahkee away , and Morag leaves behind a bow , two spears , and an Ewok hood . When the other three Phlogs search for Nahkee , they discover the items , and immediately assume that Nahkee was captured by Ewoks , much to Morag ' s delight . Morag and the Rakazzak beasts take Nahkee to the Duloks , who are ordered to care for him until the Phlogs destroy the Ewok village . Back at the Ewok village , Malani is playing with a Munyip when she sees Wicket , Kneesaa , Latara , and Teebo climbing through the trees . Wicket begins remarking on how he " likes Malani far away from him , " which Malani overhears . She runs off in distress . The Munyip tells Malani ' s brother Teebo , and the four Ewoks search the woods for Malani . Instead of Malani , however , the Ewoks find an enraged Phlog , who chases after the Ewoks . The Ewoks hide in a log , which rolls down a hill and shatters on a rock , sending the Ewoks flying into the river . Teebo and Wicket decide to continue their search , while Kneesaa and Latara return to the village to warn the Elders that the Phlogs are on a rampage . Gorneesh , King of the Duloks , cares for the Phlog child , which consumes food at an alarming rate . Gorneesh grows tired of watching over the Phlog , and decides to tie his foot to a tree stump , giving Gorneesh a chance to rest . The young Phlog , however , simply pulls the stump from the ground while Gorneesh is sleeping . He then crawls away , dragging the stump behind him . Malani , who is in the woods alone in tears , hears crying something behind her . She turns around and sees the young Phlog , who has become immobilized , the stump he is dragging wedged between two trees . She unties the rope from the stump , and the Phlog tells her in his own primitive way that he has lost his parents . Teebo and Wicket finally find Malani , who is being carried by her new friend . Teebo believes that if the Phlog is brought back to his parents , they might leave the Ewoks alone . However , before they can act on this plan , Nahkee smells cooking food , and runs off in the direction of the scent . Teebo and Wicket grab onto the rope , which is still being dragged by the Phlog . The scent , however , leads the Phlog and the Ewoks back to the Dulok village . Gorneesh is pleased to see that the Phlog has returned with three young Ewoks . While the Ewok village is under siege from the three adult Phlogs , Logray explains to Chief Chirpa that the mother Phlog claims the Ewoks stole her baby . Chirpa believes Morag is behind the crime , and Malani and Kneesaa set out to find the missing child . They are soon captured , however , and taken to the Dulok village , where the five young Ewoks care for the baby Phlog under the eye of King Gorneesh . While Wicket apologizes to Malani for the things he said , Teebo and Latara secretly concoct a plan for their escape . Teebo enlists the help of nearby Humming peeper s , who help Kneesaa and Latara serenade the Duloks to sleep . The Ewoks , carrying the sleeping Nahkee , escape to the Ewok village , which is fighting a losing battle against the Phlogs as Morag looks on . The young Ewoks arrive and reunite Nahkee with his family , just in time to save their village from destruction . The Duloks are not far behind , but are forced to flee back to their village when they are attacked by angry Phlogs and an angrier Morag .
