Shauku

Shauku is a male mongoose.
One day, Shauku and his friends were attacked by Janja and his cronies, Cheezi and Chungu. Though most of the young ones managed to escape, Mtoto did not. In an effort to save Mtoto, Shauku and his friends alerted Beshte to the situation, and he was able to save Mtoto's life. Afterward, Kion offered to give Shauku and his friends honorary Lion Guard markings.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Shauku lived in the Pride Lands. At some point in his life, he befriended Gumba, Kambuni, Kwato, and Mtoto. He and his friends formed a deep admiration of the Lion Guard, whom they liked to imitate as part of a game.
===Janja's attack===
Shauku faked a hyena attack with his friends, as they were in the middle of a game about the Lion Guard. However, they inadvertently frightened a group of Pride Landers, and the real Lion Guard showed up to resolve the problem. Meekly, Shauku and his friends revealed themselves and explained their game to the Lion Guard. Mtoto then invited the Lion Guard to play with them, but Kion explained that they had business elsewhere.
Later, after Mtoto trained with the Lion Guard, Shauku and his friends expressed amazement at Mtoto's experience. However, they despaired that he would not want to play with them anymore. To their delight, he started up another game with them, during which they pretended that the hyraxes were hyenas. While the young animals were playing, Janja and his cronies, Cheezi and Chungu, began to follow them.
Eventually, the young animals chased the hyraxes to safety and wondered what they should do next. Just then, Janja and his cronies appeared, and the young animals ran away in fear. Shauku managed to escape, but Mtoto was pursued by the three hyenas. Along with his friends, Shauku alerted Beshte to the danger, and the hippopotamus took off to save Mtoto.
After Mtoto's safe return, Shauku listened eagerly to his friend's recollection of the event. Shortly afterward, Kion volunteered to gift each child with a muddy mark of the Lion Guard, and the young animals crowded around him eagerly.
===Playtime with Mtoto===
Shauku and the young rhino were searching for Mtoto. Before long, the young elephant emerged and sprayed the pair with water. Mtoto then asked his friends if they could hear something. At first, Shauku failed to hear anything, but the three soon spotted a flock of birds overhead. Shauku continued to watch as the Lion Guard appeared on the scene.
==Physical appearance==
Shauku is small, long-bodied, and slender. He has a pale brown pelt, with darker paws and a dark streak between his eyes. His eyes are brown.
==Personality and traits==
Shauku is notorious for causing trouble around the Pride Lands, as he thinks little about the repercussions of his games. However, he does take instruction well and looks up to the Lion Guard.
