Pim

Pim is a male hyrax who lives in the Pride Lands.
==Appearance==
Pim is a small, plump tan mammal. He has two small mauve inner ears with a beige rim. A few strands of hair stick up slightly on his head. His eyes are black and surrounded by beige fur at the top. His nose is also black and also surrounded by beige fur, which extends to his underbelly. He has four brown fingers on each limb. He has two teeth that often stick out from the top of his mouth. On his back is a darker splotch of tan fur.
==Personality==
Pim is very excitable and skittish, often running at the first sign of danger. Despite this, he is clever, smart, intuitive, and intelligent enough to attempt masking his scent. He is also extremely appreciative and grateful to receive help when he needs it, often giving a hug to the individual who saved him. He is also discouraged by some scents, as shown by his retreat having smelt Bunga's fur.
==History==
===The Rise of Makuu===
Pim is stuck in a thorn bush and chitters for help, causing the Lion Guard to come to his aid. A few members of the Guard are extremely indignant at being summoned for such a minor problem, but Kion reminds them of their duty. Bunga seizes Pim, who struggles free and moves out of reach. Bunga then pulls some of the thorns aside as Pim cowers in the bramble. The honey badger finally lifts the thorns and orders Pim to move, but he only hides under a snakeskin that he's been holding.
Fuli darts in picks him up and deposits him safely on the ground, where he begins frantically rolling in and rubbing himself with the snakeskin. Ono comments on his cleverness, however; Ushari promptly eats Pim. Bunga forces Ushari to spit Pim out, and he shakes himself, startled. Bunga tosses Ushari away, and Pim gratefully hugs his savior but is quick to flee after he takes in Bunga's malodorous stench.
Later, Pim is residing in a tree in the Grove of Trees. Ono tries to convince him to leave, warning him of danger, by Pim merely chews on a leaf contentedly. Bunga then attempts to scare Pim using his scent, but Pim is no longer bothered by it. Bunga eventually grabs him and brings him down. The Lion Guard laughs as Pim climbs onto Bunga's back.
