Pumbaa (Caldafox's Fanfics)

Pumbaa is a male warthog. He is Timon's best friend and an adoptive uncle of Bunga.
== Physical appearance ==
Pumbaa is a large male warthog with red fur. His underbelly is maroon, and his inner ears and nose are pink. He has a black mane, tail tip, hooves, and eyes. He also has two white tusks and one tooth that sticks out from his bottom jaw.
== Personality ==
Pumbaa is gentle, kind-hearted and friendly to everyone he meets, and enjoys making new friends. He is very loyal and will readily fight to save his friends. A bit simple and slow-witted, he often needs Timon to help him understand a figure of speech, but can easily pick up on another's emotional state. He takes orders well, and is a bit more paternal than Timon.
Like his best friend, Pumbaa will often cry when one of his adoptive nephews is in danger, and is also very supportive of them. He is carefree and lazy, like Timon, and enjoys eating grubs.
