Kia

Kia is a male elephant.
After Simba was cheated out of his throne in the Pride Lands, he went into self-exile in the jungle with his son, Kopa. Eventually, Kopa sought out Kia and begged him for help. Since he did not want Pride Landers fleeing into his jungle, Kia agreed and forced the usurper Kesho to publicly confess that he had cheated to win Simba's throne. As a result, Simba was reinstated as king, and Kia returned home.
==Information==
===Early life===
Kia lived in the jungle.
===Alliance with Kopa===
When Simba was unfairly forced from his throne by Kesho, he refused to return to the Pride Lands. Instead, he sulked in the jungle with his son, Kopa. Eventually, Kopa labored through the jungle to find Kia, whom he convinced to defeat the usurper Kesho by reminding the elephant that his jungle would soon be overrun with Pride Lander refugees.
Though the hyenas were outraged at Kia's intrusion, they had no choice but to let the elephant pass. Once he reached Pride Rock, Kia dangled Kesho over the precipice and forced him to admit to his entire congregation of followers that he had cheated Simba. Outraged, the Pride Landers demanded his exile, and Simba returned to the Pride Lands amid happy cheers. Kia retreated quietly to the jungle, and the hyenas fled the kingdom, leaving Simba and his family to return the Pride Lands to their former glory.
==Physical appearance==
Kia is described as a massive, elderly, white elephant.
