Mbwa

Mbwa is a male wild dog.
Along with his hunting partner, Mwitu, Mbwa attacked a lone warthog named Pumbaa. The two chased him until they ran into Timon, who was fleeing a hungry python. The wild dogs immediately began to fight with the python over who had rights to the prey, but the matter was put to rest when Simba arrived in the defense of his friends. Unwilling to fight a lion, Mbwa and Mwitu backed off.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Mbwa lived in the jungle. At some point in his life, he became hunting partners with a fellow wild dog named Mwitu.
===Attack on Pumbaa===
When Pumbaa got lost in the jungle, he ran into Mbwa and Mwitu. The two attacked Pumbaa, who attempted to defend himself with his tusks. As they fought, Mwitu asked Mbwa if they should kill Pumbaa or torture him first, to which Mbwa decided that they should go ahead and kill the warthog. Taking advantage of the pair's distraction, Pumbaa ran away, and the wild dogs hastened to catch up to him.
While running from his pursuers, Pumbaa crashed into his friend, Timon, who was fleeing a python. After the two exchanged a happy embrace, they turned to face the predators who were closing in on them from either side. When the python and the wild dogs saw one another, they began to bicker and physically fight over who deserved the kills. While their attackers were distracted, Timon and Pumbaa fled, but the predators quickly regained their bearings and resumed the chase.
Just then, Simba leaped out of the foliage and roared at Timon and Pumbaa's pursuers, which caused them to back off.
==Physical appearance==
Mbwa has red eyes.
==Personality and traits==
Like his hunting partner, Mwitu, Mbwa is bloodthirsty and sadistic. He takes pleasure in torturing weaker animals and is fiercely possessive of his prey. Of the two wild dogs, Mbwa seems to be the leader, as Mwitu looked to him for guidance on how they should kill Pumbaa.
