Boss Beaver

Boss Beaver is a male beaver.
Boss Beaver initially hired Timon and Pumbaa to help him build a dam. The two worked tirelessly on the project, but Boss Beaver took credit for all their hard work at a press conference. Just then, the dam broke, and Timon informed Boss Beaver that no one would ever vote for him again due to his taking credit for the faulty dam. As a result, Boss Beaver worked for the duo as their waiter.
Later, Boss Beaver hired Timon and Pumbaa to work at his lumber mill due to their violation of a number of safety regulations. The duo worked to pay back the debt they owed Boss Beaver. However, they inadvertently started a fire that burned down the lumber mill, and so Timon paid Boss Beaver his last penny.
For the third time, Boss Beaver hired Timon and Pumbaa, this time to work at his amusement park, Boss Beaver's Log Land. During their time as employees, the two continually had their jobs sabotaged by Boss Beaver's son, Boy Beaver. Though Timon tried to prove Boy Beaver's guilt, Boss Beaver did not believe him until he witnessed his son sabotaging the Log Flume. After the incident, Timon and Pumbaa bought the amusement park and hired the beavers to work at the restaurant Hot Log on a Stick.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Boss Beaver lived in a lodge. At some point in his life, he took a mate, with whom he had a son: Boy Beaver.
===Dam-building business===
At some point, Boss Beaver met Pumbaa and taught him about his philosophy: Makuta Hamaka, which meant "work real hard." After cutting down a tree like a beaver, Pumbaa got himself and Timon jobs as dam builders, which dismayed Timon. Nevertheless, Pumbaa dragged Timon to Boss Beaver's place, where Boss Beaver introduced himself and hired the duo to construct a barrier to prevent the flow of water. He then gave them white hard hats and buck teeth. After all the hard work, Pumbaa realized that it was too much. When Timon suggested that he and Pumbaa take an extended lunch hour, Boss Beaver showed the two money, which made Timon change his mind and decide to work even more.
After all the work Timon had done, Boss Beaver gave Timon a yellow hard hat and made him Pumbaa's boss. Timon made Pumbaa cut down some trees while he counted them. Pumbaa then asked Timon if he could show up to dinner that night, and Timon promised that he would do so.
When Timon was working in a bathroom, Boss Beaver gave him forms to fill out. The beaver then told Timon that he should fire Pumbaa. Come nighttime, Timon went to fire Pumbaa. Pumbaa then made his friend choose his philosophy: Makuta Hamaka or Hakuna Matata.
Later, Timon and Boss Beaver were at a press conference, during which Boss Beaver gave a speech. Boss Beaver then got the credit for building the dam when it had really been Timon and Pumbaa who had built it. When Boss Beaver fired Timon, water pushed the dam out of the way and splashed everyone. Boss Beaver accused Timon of building the dam, and Timon told his boss that since he had taken all the credit, no one would ever vote for him again. Boss Beaver then asked Timon for a job. In turn, Timon and Pumbaa made Boss Beaver their waiter.
===Apple festival===
Boss Beaver had a pie thrown in his face when Timon tried to save Pumbaa from getting eaten by a giant worm.
===Lumber mill business===
After Timon and Pumbaa followed two bugs to a tree trunk and ate them, the tree got cut down and taken to Boss Beaver's lumber mill. With Timon and Pumbaa still inside the tree, it was cut in half. Boss Beaver showed up and told Timon and Pumbaa that they had violated a number of safety regulations, which meant they had to put 46 pennies in his safety jar. When Timon told the boss that he and Pumbaa did not have any pennies, Boss Beaver gave the duo jobs so that they could earn some.
While Timon and Pumbaa were working at the lumber mill, Timon violated three more safety regulations, so he put 49 pennies in Boss Beaver's safety jar. Boss Beaver then let Timon and Pumbaa go and warned them to never be unsafe again.
When Timon and Pumbaa left, they went to a door labeled "Fire," which Timon believed to be a fire escape. However, upon opening the door, he realized that the room was, in fact, a furnace. Though he closed the door, some flames escaped and caught on a barrel. Timon suggested that they hide the barrel before Boss Beaver could see it, but all the other doors were unsafe. Timon ultimately hid the barrel in the last door, but fireworks came out. Boss Beaver exited his office to see what was going on, but Timon denied that there were fireworks and put the boss back in his office.
One of the fireworks got in Boss Beaver's office, and Boss Beaver got caught by it. This caused a fire in the lumber mill, which endangered Boss Beaver. When Timon and Pumbaa rescued the beaver, the lumber mill burned down. Timon told Boss Beaver that the fire had been his fault, then gave him his last penny.
===Boss Beaver's Log Land===
Timon and Pumbaa arrived at an amusement park called Boss Beaver's Log Land. The duo argued about what to do, and Pumbaa outsmarted Timon with a reversal trick. Together, they visited a souvenir shop. Timon met an obnoxious kid named Boy Beaver, who broke everything in the shop and made Pumbaa believe it had been Timon's doing. Boss Beaver showed up and told the two that they had to buy whatever they had broken. When Pumbaa told Boss Beaver that he and Timon did not have any money, Boss Beaver gave the two jobs at the park.
Timon and Pumbaa worked at a local restaurant called Hot Log on a Stick, where they had to put logs on sticks. While Timon and Pumbaa did the job, Boy Beaver messed with the Hot Log Control, making the job difficult for them. Timon saw Boy Beaver and tried to reverse the control, but it was stuck. Logs then came out of the oven.
Afterward, Timon and Pumbaa worked at a monorail, with Pumbaa as the driver. Timon saw Boy Beaver nearby and tried to catch him, which made Pumbaa drive the monorail uncontrollably and end up breaking it. Boss Beaver then gave the duo a job in which they had to wear beaver costumes and hold beaver balloons. Timon saw Boy Beaver running and chased after him, leaving Pumbaa to hold both balloons and subsequently float up into the air. The balloons touched something pointy and popped.
Finally, Boss Beaver made Timon and Pumbaa ride the Log Flume with his son. Timon tried to convince Pumbaa and Boss Beaver that it had been Boy Beaver who had caused all the previous damage, but Boss Beaver did not believe him, and Pumbaa suggested that they give the kid a chance. Timon and Pumbaa rode the Log Flume, with Boy Beaver messing up the controls. Boss Beaver caught his son and finally believed Timon. After the Log Flume broke, Timon and Pumbaa bought the amusement park and renamed it "Timon and Pumbaa's Log Land." The two made Boss Beaver and his son work at Hot Log on a Stick.
==Physical appearance==
Boss Beaver is a moderately sized beaver who stands a few inches taller than the meerkat Timon. He has brown fur, with a pale underbelly, dark brown paws, and a flat brown tail. His eyes are black.
==Personality and traits==
Boss Beaver is cranky and ill-tempered. He used to own a lumber mill and an amusement park, and has his own philosophies: "Makuta Hamaka," which means "work real hard;" "Safety First;" and "You Break it, You Buy it." He likes making Timon and Pumbaa work for him.
Boss Beaver showed his rather cranky, antagonistic, and unfair side when he decided to take the credit for building a dam when it had really been Timon and Pumbaa who had built it. Another example is when he told Timon and Pumbaa that they had violated a safety regulation for screaming at a high volume when the duo had simply been afraid for their lives. Even so, Boss Beaver is capable of realizing his mistakes, as seen when he accepted his son's malicious nature.
Boss Beaver is the exact opposite of Timon and Pumbaa, as he loves to live a working lifestyle, whereas Timon and Pumbaa love to live a relaxing and carefree lifestyle.
