Makucha's army

Makucha's army is a group of animals bent on invading the Tree of Life. They are led by Mama Binturong.
==History==
===The Lion Guard===
===="Ghost of the Mountain"====
Makucha recruits Chuluun, a snow leopard, after she is defeated by Bunga. The two begin to follow the Lion Guard to the Tree of Life in the hopes of getting revenge and being able to feast on numerous animals.
===="Dragon Island"====
Makucha recruits Ora after he suffers a defeat at the hands of the Lion Guard.
===="The River of Patience"====
The members of the army struggle to get along, as each wants to be the leader. They attempt to breach the Tree of Life, only to be swiftly defeated by the Night Pride. After the fight, Kion admits to leading the army to the Tree of Life, which infuriates the leader of the Night Pride, Rani.
That night, Chuluun leads an attack on the Tree of Life, but the Night Pride thwarts the army again. The following morning, Ora takes the lead and manages to paralyze Baliyo. Just in time, Kion arrives and helps the Night Pride defeat Makucha and his army.
After the army's defeat, Mama Binturong declares herself to be the new leader of the army.
===="Little Old Ginterbong"====
Mama Binturong conceives a plan in which she will pretend to be an animal in need in order to get into the Tree of Life and gather information. Makucha questions the plan, since the Lion Guard will recognize her, but she assures them that Bunga is the only one who has met her.
Following the plan, Makucha, Chuluun, and Ora pretend to be chasing after Mama Binturong. As they had expected, the Night Pride believes in their act and chases away Makucha and the others. They then welcome Mama Binturong into the Tree of Life. As Bunga is still playing with Binga, the Lion Guard doesn't recognize Mama Binturong. When she meets Janna, Mama Binturong introduces herself as a rare animal called a ginterbong. Rani then escorts her to a forest where Mama Binturong can live in.
After gathering enough information, Mama Binturong devises a new plan with Makucha and the others. This time, she pretends to give a false distress call to distract the Night Pride, while Makucha and the rest attack the Tee of Life. They set their plan in motion right before the Lion Guard and the Night Pride change shifts. However, this plan is foiled when Ono sees through Mama Binturong's deception and has Ullu inform the Night Pride, allowing the Lion Guard to fully deal with Makucha, Chuluun, and Ora. At the same time, Mama Binturong is chased away by Bunga and Binga's sting after Ullu reveals Mama Binturong's scheme to the Night Pride.
===="Long Live the Queen"====
Makucha's army attacks a tigress named Varya and her three cubs who have just reached the pass to the Tree of Life. Makucha and Ora corner Varya, while Chuluun chases the cubs. The Lion Guard and the Night Pride arrive in time to save Varya and her cubs, forcing Makucha and the others to retreat.
===="The Lake of Reflection"====
Makucha's army launches an attack on the Tree of Life. The Night Pride challenges them, though Baliyo's yawning exposes how exhausted they are from a night of patrolling. The Lion Guard arrives in time to help, but Kion and Rani's dual leadership results in confusion.
Eventually, the Lion Guard and the Night Pride succeed in driving off the army. Kion offers to patrol the Tree of Life during the day in order to give the Night Pride time to rest, and Rani gratefully accepts his offer. Unbeknownst to the team, Mama Binturong is spying on their conversation from a nearby tree.
Later, Mama Binturong schemes with her allies against the Lion Guard and the Night Pride, ordering the army to attack in-between shifts at sunset.
When the army launches the attack, Ullu arrives and warns the Lion Guard. The Night Pride arrives, and Kion leads the two teams in their attack. The teams succeed, and the army flees.
===="Triumph of the Roar"====
Makucha's army sneaks into the Tree of Life due to Ullu falling asleep. The Night Pride arrives, only for the Lion Guard to take over the shift and defeat the army.
After the defeat, Mama Binturong brings in new allies for Makucha's army, including Fahari, Jiona, two komodo dragons, and Smun and his prickle. With these new allies, the army invades the Tree of Life. Ullu attempts to warn the Night Pride, but Mama Binturong captures her and tasks Smun and his prickle with keeping her incapacitated. However, Ullu scares off Smun by turning her head completely backward and manages to escape.
Ullu warns the Night Pride about the army's attack, and they rush to the Tree of Life, only to be shut in by a giant rock pushed by Ora and his minions. With the Night Pride out of commission, the army attacks the animals at the Tree of Life. However, the Lion Guard arrives, having been warned by Ullu, and resolves to free the Night Pride from the army's trap.
Later, Kion, Bunga, and Rani arrive, and Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to defeat the villains. He then strikes the rock at the Tree of Life's entrance with lightning, destroying it and freeing the Night Pride. Finally, Kion sweeps Makucha and his army into a tornado, which sends them far away from the Tree of Life.
