===Legacy===

When Bunga stole Rafiki's bakora staff, he stumbled upon paintings of Nala's father as a cub and mistook him for his grandson, Kion. Bunga touched the paintings with Rafiki's staff, which brought them to life. He then watched in horror as Nala's father fell from a tree. Frightened, Bunga proceeded to protect Kion from every tree they encountered, as he was terrified that Rafiki's paintings predicted the future.
Later, Rafiki revealed that the painting in fact depicted Nala's father. He explained that Nala's father had fallen from a tree branch and been saved by the Lion Guard of his day.
==Physical appearance==
As a cub, Nala's father had golden fur, with pale paws and a pale underbelly. His inner ears were yellow, his muzzle was white, and the bridge of his nose was brown. Like his grandson, Kion, he had a red head tuft.

==Trivia==
* During a Tenth Anniversary Reunion discussion panel, directors Rob Minkoff and Roger Allers were asked who Nala's father was. Minkoff joked that Allers was the father. The two directors then stated that Mufasa or Scar could be Nala's father. This claim was disproved with the release of the Lion Guard episode "Paintings and Predictions".
