Rabbit

Rabbit is a male rabbit.
After Timon and Pumbaa saved Rabbit from drowning in quicksand, he pledged himself to their service. Rabbit began to serve the duo dutifully, but they were annoyed by his constant presence. Eventually, after many failed escape attempts, Timon and Pumbaa feigned danger and allowed Rabbit to save their lives. However, the plan backfired, as Rabbit vowed to protect them forever.
Later, Rabbit expressed interest in starting a magic act with Timon. Though Timon was adamant about Pumbaa being in the act as well, Rabbit went behind Timon's back and sent Pumbaa away. After spending a long time in exile, Pumbaa realized that he had been tricked and returned to get revenge on Rabbit. He managed to trap Rabbit in a cage and finished Timon's magic act in the rabbit's place.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Rabbit spent many years searching for a partner to assist him in his magic act.
===Service to Timon and Pumbaa===
While Timon and Pumbaa were traipsing the Mojave Desert, they found Rabbit drowning in quicksand. Pumbaa tried to save Rabbit's life, but in the process, he got stuck in the quicksand as well. This left it up to Timon to save the two.
After Timon and Pumbaa saved Rabbit's life, he wanted to repay them hand and foot, which annoyed them. In order to get rid of Rabbit, Timon sent him far away to fetch a glass of water. However, right before Timon and Pumbaa could leave, Rabbit returned with the water.
Come nighttime, Timon, Pumbaa, and Rabbit were sitting around a fire. Rabbit gave Timon and Pumbaa blankets, and the duo suggested that it was time for bed. However, the two only feigned sleep and snuck away from Rabbit while he was asleep.
Later, Timon and Pumbaa ran into Rabbit again, and he told the two that they were his lifelong friends and that he was going to stay with them forever. Afterward, the duo thought of a way to get Rabbit to leave them alone: put themselves in danger and allow him to save their lives.
To enact the plan, Pumbaa used a rope to hang himself from a tree. Timon lit the rope on fire, and he and Pumbaa cried for help to get Rabbit's attention. When Rabbit arrived on the scene, he realized what was going on and walked away. The rope soon ripped apart, and Timon and Pumbaa fell. Just in time, Rabbit returned with a giant glass of water for the two to safely land in. Rabbit then declared that he was going to protect them forever.
===Magic act with Timon===
Timon and Pumbaa saw a parade that was advertising a talent show called the Serengeti Star Talent Contest. Timon told Pumbaa that they should join the contest so they could be big stars. Just then, a magic hat appeared next to the two friends, and Rabbit struggled to get out of it. Timon helped Rabbit escape the hat, which impressed the rabbit and prompted him to invite Timon to be part of his magic act. Timon decided to join Rabbit but told him that he must let Pumbaa be part of the act as well. Rabbit reluctantly agreed to Timon's request.
In preparation for the talent show, Rabbit and Timon performed many tricks, but Pumbaa continually ruined their performances. Eventually, Rabbit got fed up with Pumbaa's incompetence and suggested that he and Timon get rid of the warthog. However, Timon refused and proclaimed that the only way to get rid of Pumbaa would be to tell him that Timon no longer wanted to be his friend. This gave Rabbit an idea.
Rabbit went to Pumbaa and told him that Timon no longer wanted him to be part of their act. He added that Timon no longer wanted to be Pumbaa's bestest best friend. Heartbroken, Pumbaa accepted Rabbit's story as the truth, and Rabbit poofed him away to a frozen wasteland. When Timon showed up, wondering where Pumbaa was, Rabbit claimed that the warthog no longer wanted to be Timon's bestest best friend.
With Pumbaa gone, Rabbit and Timon began to win many talent shows and got a lot of attention. On the night of the finale, Timon and Pumbaa missed each other. Suddenly, Pumbaa realized that Timon had never said anything mean about him; rather, it had been Rabbit. Enraged, the warthog resolved to get revenge on the rabbit.
After leaving the frozen wasteland, Pumbaa snuck into the backstage area of the talent show and lured Rabbit away from Timon with a carrot. Rabbit spotted Pumbaa's initial trap and kicked it away. He then noticed Pumbaa nearby and taunted the warthog by calling him a "pig." An antagonized Pumbaa promptly trapped Rabbit in a cage.
Meanwhile, Timon was onstage and failed to get a rabbit to come out of his hat. Pumbaa saw this and got an idea. He stripped off Rabbit's fur, disguised himself as a rabbit, then popped out of Timon's hat in Rabbit's place. This won Timon and Pumbaa the Serengeti Star Talent Contest. Meanwhile, Rabbit sulked sadly in his hat.
==Physical appearance==
Rabbit is a large and heavyset rabbit. He has bright pink fur, with a gray chest, a gray muzzle, gray paws, and a gray tail. Additionally, he has a darker pink nose, long whiskers, and buck teeth. His eyes are blue.
==Personality and traits==
Rabbit is overbearing and obsessed with helping those who have saved his life. Despite Timon and Pumbaa's attempts to make him leave them alone, he continually annoyed them and insisted that they would be together forever. Rabbit also has a devious and ruthless side. In order to isolate Pumbaa from Timon, he lied to the warthog that Timon no longer wanted to be his best friend. This caused Pumbaa great pain, but Rabbit showed no compassion or remorse for him and merely whisked him away to a frozen wasteland.
