Meekon

Meekon is a male meerkat. He is the leader of a colony of meerkats in the jungle.
Meekon told his colony, including three outsiders named Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa, the story of the watu. Inspired by Meekon's tale, Simba and his friends collected evidence of the watu's existence and presented it to Meekon. Out of fear of the watu, Meekon denounced their claims and posited that his story was not true.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Meekon lived in the jungle. When he was young, he had an encounter with the watu, which left him fearful of their existence. At some point in his life, he became the leader and eldest member of his colony.
===Legend of the watu===
Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa stumbled upon Meekon telling his family a story. Despite the friends' intrusiveness, Meekon invited them into the circle and told them a story about two-legged creatures that had wandered the savanna thousands of years ago. When asked what they were called, Meekon told his family that he had come to call them the "watu." One little meerkat nicknamed "Fibber" tried to convince his family that he knew where watu cave drawings were, but Meekon warned his young relative that the journey would be too perilous.
Ignoring Meekon's warning, Fibber and his new friends set out in search of the caves. Once they returned, laden with evidence of the creatures' existence, Meekon admitted that watu did not exist, then went on to disprove their many artifacts. Disappointed, the friends admitted defeat. However, once everyone was asleep, Meekon buried the evidence in the ground, terrified by the prospect of watu, which he had encountered years earlier.
==Physical appearance==
Tall and thin, Meekon is an elderly meerkat with visible wrinkles on his face. His fur is dark gold, broken only by three brown stripes on his back and cream-colored fur on his chest and face. Like most meerkats, his ears, feet, and paws are brown, and his eyes are black. His eyebrows are brown and unusually bushy.
==Personality and traits==
Though Meekon is wise beyond his years, he fears his own knowledge. A previous encounter with the watu left him burdened with a terrible fear of the unknown, a fear so intense that he was unable to bring himself to tell the truth to his fellow meerkats. Meekon's only reassurance is that the others do not believe in the watu themselves.
