Growler

Growler is a male warthog.
When Pumbaa joined Growler's family, Growler grew jealous of him because of his popularity. In order to get rid of Pumbaa, Growler lied to the chief warthog that Pumbaa wanted to steal his territory. Growler then lured Pumbaa to The Rocks, where the chief warthog and his lackeys surrounded and threatened him. Because of his attempt on Pumbaa's life, Growler's mother exiled him from the sounder, then informed the chief warthog of the truth, which saved Pumbaa's life.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Growler was born to an unnamed female warthog. He had many brothers and sisters. The family lived in the jungle.
===Rivalry with Pumbaa===
Growler strongly disliked Pumbaa and considered the older warthog to be a disgrace to the entire species, as he was poor at hunting and many other things warthogs were supposed to excel at. Conversely, his mother enjoyed Pumbaa's company and patiently taught Pumbaa how to be a real warthog. Annoyed that his mother and siblings did not share his mindset, Growler instigated a conflict between the chief warthog and Pumbaa by lying and telling the chief warthog that Pumbaa was planning to take over their land.
Growler led Pumbaa to The Rocks with the promise of a fun game. After leaving Pumbaa surrounded by the chief warthog and his enforcers, Growler crept off, but Simba and Timon caught up to him and forced Growler to tell them where Pumbaa was. After hearing that Growler had led Pumbaa into a trap, his mother called him a disgrace and banished him from the sounder.
