==History==
===The beast's loss of the tooth===
The tooth has gotten stolen by the three natives and their chief, having been placed on the top of the leader's staff. 
Timon and Pumbaa were, at some point, captured by the natives and pushed down a slide that lead them to the "bottomless pit," where the two fell for weeks on end before finally hitting the ground. At the bottom of the chute, Pumbaa commented that the bottomless pit is not so bottomless after all, which prompted Timon to proclaim that they will be rich for finding the first bottomless pit with a bottom.
As the two set out across the cave, they were confronted and eaten by the beast, who immediately spit them back out. Following this, the monster wailed about his missing gold tooth, which held the key to his magical powers. Pumbaa felt sorry for the monster, but Timon only found interest in the monster's great power.
Two hours, two days, and two weeks later, the beast managed to shove Timon and Pumbaa out of the bottomless pit, where they promised to help him retrieve his gold tooth from the native chief. The two proceeded to launch many different attempts to steal the tooth from the native chief, all of which ended in failure.
As a last resort, Timon and Pumbaa faked a parade and convinced the natives to join in on the festivities. As the four are distracted, Timon switched out the leader's staff with a harmonica and commanded the natives to turn about face and march in the opposite direction. It was not long, however, before the natives realized that Timon and Pumbaa have stolen the tooth, after which they pursued the duo to the edge of the bottomless pit.
Although they managed to catch Pumbaa by the legs, the tooth flew out of the warthog's mouth and fell into the bottomless pit. Moments later, the monster bursted out of the pit, his gold tooth in place, spewing fire at the natives. As the natives were roasted in the monster's rage, Timon and Pumbaa walked calmly away, happy about their victory over the chief. Pumbaa then showed Timon that he had one of the leader's teeth in his mouth.
