Ukuru

Ukuru was a male crocodile that lived in the Pride Lands, member of Pua's Float, and younger brother to Makuu, but older brother to Ungwana. He perished soon after his mother and sister died.
== Background ==
Makuu's younger brother, he hatched near Lake Matope in the Pride Lands, along with Makuu, Ungwana and their many other siblings. Sadly, when the hyenas were allowed into the kingdom and the rains never arrived, most of the clutch perished. The float left the Pride Lands, costing Nyota her life, and eventually Ungwana's as well.
== Personality ==
Although not much of him is shown, he was shown to be reckless, outright rude and resentful of Makuu for being his mother's favorite according to him. He also blamed Pua for his mother's death, and was harsh on his little sister Ungwana when she innocently asked when their mother would catch up to them, not knowing she had died.
== Appearance ==
Unlike his mother and siblings, Ukuru's scales were a dark blue green, with lighter green underbelly and jaw, and dark spines and claws.His eyes were black with golden sclera, and had dark green markings around his eyes.

=== Chapter 4 ===
Ukuru appears in a flashback that takes place shortly after his mother, Nyota, passed. When Ungwana innocently asks Makuu when she will catch up, Ukuru snaps at her that their mother is death, until Pua scolds him severely for it. Ukuru's anger then turns to Pua, and blames him for Nyota's death for leaving the Pride Lands, but Pua calmly states that Nyota died peacefully, which was a better fate than being devoured by the hyenas. Unable to respond, Ukuru leaves a huff.
== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
Ukuru didn't seem to get along with his siblings, clashing particularly with Makuu over their mother's affection, and being very rude to Ungwana. He was particularly upset about Nyota's death, which drove him further apart from his siblings. Despite this, he was upset when Ungwana died, showing he did care for her.
