Big, bad bug

The big, bad bug is a male butterfly.
When Timon and Pumbaa visited the Amazon and fed on grubs, they encountered the big, bad bug. Wanting to be the first to ever consume the big, bad bug of the Amazon, Timon underwent multiple attempts to catch the grub, to the point that he got into a battle with him. Pumbaa, on the other hand, suggested that they make peace with the bug, as he believed the big, bad bug had something to live for. Eventually, the big, bad bug transformed into a butterfly, and Timon conceded Pumbaa's point.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The big, bad bug lived in the Amazon. According to the Bug Eating for Dummies book, the big, bad bug encountered and beat many bug connoisseurs.
===Skirmish with Timon===
Timon and Pumbaa visited the Amazon, during which they ate bugs. The two encountered a strong bug, who beat them up, and called him "the big, bad bug of the Amazon." Timon read a book that said the strong bug had never been caught and eaten, which led the meerkat to suggest that he and Pumbaa be the first ones to consume the big, bad bug.
While the big, bad bug lay down on a tree, Timon snuck up behind him and was about to eat him, only for the big, bad bug to escape Timon's hand and beat the meerkat up again. Later, while the bug was swimming, he encountered a crocodile trying to eat him but managed to defeat it. This made Pumbaa suggest that they leave the big, bad bug alone because he may have had something to live for. Timon disagreed and put on a swimsuit. However, the big, bad bug stopped Timon's attempt to eat him. After Timon returned to the shore, Pumbaa stated that the bug was living a precious life, but Timon insisted on catching and eating him.
Timon tried to catch the bug again, this time by using a net and a bear trap. The plan failed, as the bug captured Timon with a bigger net. While Timon looked for another way to catch and eat the big, bad bug, Pumbaa, dressed as a hippie, told Timon to leave the bug alone and live in peace and harmony, but Timon told his friend that the bug was evil and that it would spread its evil until all bugs had turned against them. He showed Pumbaa a video, which revealed that there were more bugs than mammals in the world, and told him that if one bug stood up to them, all the other bugs would do the same.
While Timon, dressed as a military sergeant, attempted to destroy the big, bad bug with a tank, Pumbaa demonstrated against the meerkat's war, and the two argued over who believed in their cause the most. When the meerkat pressed his attack, the bug destroyed his tank, making Timon's plan fail again. Timon later used a jet plane to shoot the bug with missiles, but they missed the insect. The big, bad bug was about to eat the jet plane, which made Timon launch himself out. While Pumbaa extended an olive branch of peace to the bug, Timon used a cannon to destroy the insect, only for the grub to eat it as well.
The bug then climbed up a tree to create a cocoon while Timon and Pumbaa made peace. The bug turned himself into a butterfly, which caused Timon to change his heart and tell Pumbaa that he had been right about the bug having something to live for. 
==Physical appearance==
The big, bad bug is a small, green-skinned grub with a muscular body. He has black hair, with two antennae and pupil-less yellow eyes. He wears a greenish-blue shirt with darker green stripes on the sleeves and the bottom, and dark green pants. The bug had small white wings, which became large and bi-colored after his transformation.
==Personality and traits==
The big, bad bug is the strongest bug in the world. He is capable of beating up and outsmarting any bug connoisseur, such as Timon and Pumbaa. He is also capable of eating large, heavy objects, such as a jet plane and a bomb, both of which show his immunity to war materials. The bug can also create a cocoon and transform himself into a butterfly, much to Timon and Pumbaa's amazement. Although the bug beat up Pumbaa at first, he eventually came to good terms with the warthog, as he rescued him from a tank Timon was using and accepted an olive branch of peace that Pumbaa offered him.
