Ralph

Ralph is a male snake.
Ralph and his friend, Eddie, set up a free bug buffet in the Amazon in order to entrap unsuspecting animals. Timon fell for the trap, and Eddie excitedly informed Ralph of their catch, unaware that Timon's friend, Pumbaa, was listening in. However, when Pumbaa tried to warn Timon, the meerkat did not see reason. This enabled Ralph and Eddie to capture the two and tie them above a boiling cauldron. Timon and Pumbaa managed to escape, after which they lured Ralph and Eddie into a fake restaurant, then dumped them into a river of piranhas.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Ralph lived in the Amazon. At some point in his life, he befriended a fellow snake named Eddie.
===Skirmish with Timon and Pumbaa===
Timon tried to sneak up on water bugs in the Amazon River, but Pumbaa scared them away. Just then, bubbles appeared around the duo. At first, Timon thought it was Pumbaa, but it was soon revealed to be piranhas that were swimming around them.
Afterward, Timon and Pumbaa sought bugs on land. Timon sarcastically commented that it would be nice to find an all-you-can-eat bug buffet. Immediately, the two spotted a free buffet, which Pumbaa found to be too good to be true. Timon began to gorge himself, but Pumbaa was suspicious. Just then, Eddie showed up, and Timon mistook the snake for their waiter and requested ants as part of his meal.
Eddie went to his cohort, Ralph, who had come up with a plan to lure unsuspecting animals into a buffet trap, then eat them. Eddie told Ralph that they needed to get some ants for Timon, but Ralph reminded him that they were the hungry ones. Ralph then sent Eddie to get horseradish for the meal. Unbeknownst to the snakes, Pumbaa was listening in on the conversation.
Pumbaa charged back to tell Timon that the snakes were planning to eat them. Immediately, Ralph swooped in and snatched Pumbaa away. He tried to swipe Timon but missed, so he instead told the meerkat that he had to go to the VIP dining room. However, when Timon and Pumbaa got tied above a boiling cauldron, Timon finally realized the snakes' true intentions. The friends managed to escape and began plotting against Ralph and Eddie.
Timon and Pumbaa set up a fast food restaurant that catered to carnivores. The snakes fell for the trap and walked into the restaurant, which was really built on the edge of a cliff over the Amazon River. The two predators fell into the river, where they were chased by piranhas. Meanwhile, Timon laughed at them and cracked jokes.
==Physical appearance==
Ralph is a thin snake with purple scales. He has a lavender underbelly and several red spots on his sides. Unlike Eddie, he is bald. He has red eyes with yellow sclerae.
==Personality and traits==
Ralph is intelligent and cunning, and uses his intellect to entrap other animals. After he learned that Timon and Pumbaa loved to eat bugs, he created a restaurant trap to lure them into danger. Though Eddie is his loyal cohort, Ralph frequently gets annoyed by his idiocy. He can be somewhat abusive to Eddie, such as when he repeatedly smacked him for trying to bring ants to Timon.
