Mummy beetle

The mummy beetle is a male beetle.
When Timon and Pumbaa entered the Lost Forgotten Abandoned Temple Shrine of the Sacred Glorious Golden Fruit Fly, the mummy beetle emerged. Many times, he attempted to attack Timon, only to be thwarted by Pumbaa. Eventually, Pumbaa defeated him altogether by removing his bandages.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The mummy beetle lived in the Lost Forgotten Abandoned Temple Shrine of the Sacred Glorious Golden Fruit Fly. He was part of the temple's curse.
===Terrorizing Timon and Pumbaa===
As Timon and Pumbaa fled a storm, they came across an ancient temple called the Lost Forgotten Abandoned Temple Shrine of the Sacred Glorious Golden Fruit Fly. Timon decided to enter the temple in search of the prized, jewel-encrusted, and valuable Glorious Golden Fruit Fly, but Pumbaa was too scared to go inside because of a giant mummy beetle curse. Timon, however, did not believe in the mummy beetle.
Pumbaa accidentally pushed a button that opened the door of the temple, which gave Timon and Pumbaa the chance to go inside. At first, Pumbaa refused to enter the temple. However, he changed his mind after Timon warned him that he would be outside all alone. As Timon and Pumbaa walked into the temple, Timon was unaware that the mummy beetle was watching them, but Pumbaa felt suspiciously afraid. The warthog saw the mummy beetle and so ran away and hid in a vase. Pumbaa told Timon that he had seen the mummy beetle, but when Timon turned around, all he saw was an opened window and a coat on a coat rack. Timon closed the window and got Pumbaa out of the vase.
Later, Timon read the directions to the Glorious Golden Fruit Fly. As he was about to continue on his way to the treasure, the mummy beetle pushed a giant brick toward him with the intent of crushing and killing him. Pumbaa saw this and quickly rescued Timon, leaving the brick to fall on him instead. When Pumbaa tried to convince Timon about the mummy beetle's existence, Timon still did not believe in the tale. He freed Pumbaa from the brick, and the two continued on their way to the Glorious Golden Fruit Fly.
Timon and Pumbaa then found themselves in a hallway filled with mummy beetle statues. Timon pointed out that, according to legend, no living thing had actually seen the Glorious Golden Fruit Fly. Pumbaa saw the real mummy beetle about to kill Timon with an axe and so quickly snatched the axe from the grub. When Timon was suspicious of Pumbaa for carrying the axe, the warthog once again tried to convince his friend about the curse of the mummy beetle. Timon still did not believe in the curse. He then ruined one of the mummy beetle statues to convince his friend that the grub was dead, but this caused the real mummy beetle to emerge and cut Pumbaa's body in half.
Pumbaa kept trying to get Timon to become aware of the temple's curse, so Timon told the warthog to describe the mummy beetle to him just in case he ran into him. As Pumbaa was explaining, the platform Timon was standing on went down, then came back up with only the mummy beetle on it. Pumbaa saw the grub and ran to the lower level to find Timon.
Timon showed Pumbaa that they had made it to the prized, jewel-encrusted, and valuable Glorious Golden Fruit Fly. Pumbaa was still worried about the mummy beetle's curse, so Timon locked up Pumbaa's mouth with a chain and padlock so that he would not have to hear about it anymore. The mummy beetle then showed up, and Timon saw him this time. The meerkat took the grub to another part of the temple and closed the doors. The mummy beetle, however, opened the door and followed Timon as he headed for the treasure. Pumbaa managed to defeat the grub by removing his bandages.
