Kwashi

Kwashi is a male baboon.

===Early life===
Kwashi befriended a mongoose named Mabu.
===Friendship with Simba===
Simba got carried away from his pride and dropped into a pond by an enormous bird of prey. There, he was discovered by Kwashi and Mabu, who took him to live with a troop of baboons. Simba did his best to live as a baboon, to no avail, so Kwashi and Mabu attempted to teach him how to be a lion instead. This led to another series of misadventures.

===Early life===
Kwashi lived in the Pride Lands.
===Alliance with Simba===
While picking blossoms, Kwashi met a young lion named Simba, who was looking for his friend, Nala. Later, when Simba was an adolescent, and Mufasa was killed by a rogue named Scar, Kwashi instructed Simba to run across the desert to escape the hyenas and stay alive. When he believed Simba to have died, he looked for another lion to help free the Pride Lands from Scar's reign. Instead, he found Simba, who was older and stronger, and helped him take back his throne.
