King of Pluto

The king of Pluto is a male alien. As his title suggests, he is the king of the planet Pluto and organizes events such as the Interstellar Gladiator Games. He is the father of the princess of Pluto.
Timon and Pumbaa were abducted and taken to Pluto, where the king forced them to participate in the Interstellar Gladiator Games. He promised to award the winner with wealth, power, and his daughter's hand in marriage. Toward the end of the games, Timon faked his death, and Pumbaa asked permission to bury him on Earth. The king agreed to this, and the duo escaped Pluto.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The king of Pluto lived on the planet Pluto. At some point in his life, he became the king and had a daughter.
===Interstellar Gladiator Games===
After Pumbaa saved Timon from Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, Timon ranted about constantly being picked on. The two then got abducted by a U.F.O. and were taken to Pluto. There, they were introduced to the king and his daughter, who was a beautiful meerkat whom Timon developed a crush on. The king told the duo that they had been chosen to compete in his Interstellar Gladiator Games and that they would represent their home planet in the athletic-type competition.
Timon and Pumbaa refused to compete in the gladiator games and tried to force the aliens to take them back to Earth, but the king objected, saying that they had to fight since they had been chosen. He then stated that the winner would get lots of untold wealth and power, and would also marry the princess. Hearing the king's words, Timon decided to stay until he and Pumbaa saw who their competitors were: vicious aliens.
The king ordered an alien guard to take Timon and Pumbaa to the containment quarters, where they were put into birdcages. Pumbaa read a brochure that talked about Pluto. He read that on Pluto, people could easily lift heavy objects, run fast, and jump high. The warthog found the brochure to be helpful, but Timon told his friend that it was not for them, as they were animals instead of people. The two friends then sobbed over their fate.
The next day, the competition began. While Timon and Pumbaa fought off the aliens, they realized that the brochure Pumbaa had read earlier was right, as they were able to jump high and lift the giant monsters. They defeated the aliens and therefore won the competition.
Later, Pumbaa began to feel homesick and wanted to leave, but Timon preferred to stay on Pluto with the princess, which led to the two arguing. Not long afterward, the battle to the death started, and Timon and Pumbaa were forced to fight each other. At first, they refused to fight, but then Pumbaa antagonized Timon by making fun of his crush on the princess. While Timon and Pumbaa fought, the princess was revealed to be an alien in disguise, much to Timon's shock. This made Timon decide to quit. Just then, Pumbaa zapped him with a weapon, and Timon was presumed dead.
Pumbaa told the king that he wanted to go back to Earth to bury Timon, and the king accepted the warthog's decision. However, when Timon and Pumbaa got in the U.F.O., they revealed to the king and his daughter that they had tricked them by faking the whole battle and death.
When Timon and Pumbaa, now in control of the U.F.O., got back to Earth, they found Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, and picked on them by using the U.F.O.'s tractor beam to make them repeatedly rise and fall back to the ground. Pumbaa commented that he and Timon had made a great escape, to which Timon replied that it was because they had stuck together as best friends. Pumbaa then revealed to Timon that if they had not seen the princess take off her costume, Timon would still be stuck on Pluto, while Pumbaa would be bacon. Timon told the warthog that he was going to talk to him about that incident. Timon then revealed that nobody meant more to him than Pumbaa, as he was the only big guy who had never picked on him.
==Physical appearance==
The king is an amphibious-looking alien. He has green skin, with dark green spots. He wears an Egyptian-like crown, a blue and purple top, and a purple cape.
==Personality and traits==
The king is warm and friendly. When he held the Interstellar Gladiator Games, he promised to give the winner lots of untold wealth and power, and allow them to marry his daughter. He was also willing to let the winner of the competition go home, as shown when he let Pumbaa return to Earth to bury Timon.
Despite his noble nature, the king can be very strict. Because he chose certain competitors for the gladiator games, he was not willing to let them return to their home planet unless they decided to do so after they had won the competition. He also showed little concern about the relationships between the contestants, as he and his daughter forced best friends Timon and Pumbaa to battle each other to the death.
