Pumbaa (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Pumbaa is a character featured in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from Disney's The Lion King. He is a male warthog. He is the adoptive uncle of Bunga and the husband of Pika.
Like in The Lion King, Pumbaa is voiced by Ernie Sabella.
==Early life==
Pumbaa was born into a family of fast food workers. They owned a fast food restaurant that specialized in burgers and fries.
When Pumbaa was young, he had a major flatulence problem. Many Mobians gave him a wide berth due to his stench, which they claimed would "wreck their appetite." Even Pumbaa's friends refused to stand downwind of him.
Later, his parents were captured by SWATBots and they were roboticized by Doctor Robotnik, becoming his slaves. He later joined the Freedom Fighters, vowing to rescue his family.
==Physical appearance==
Pumbaa is a large and portly anthropomorphic warthog. He has red fur, with a maroon underbelly, pink inner ears, black hooves, and a pink nose. He also has two white tusks, a black mane, and a single snaggletooth on his bottom jaw. His eyes are black. According to Timon, he is fat. While this article shows him with his appearance from the Disney movie, in the Sonic Underground reboot he is redesigned to be more in line with the typical designs of Sonic characters.
==Personality==
Pumbaa is gentle, kind-hearted, and friendly to creatures of all kinds. Pumbaa strives to make new friends and is particularly fond of small, cute animals. He is somewhat slow-witted and simple. Due to his overly literal nature, he often does not understand figures of speech and will respond seriously to sarcastic questions, commands, or comments. Even so, he does sometimes display more clarity of thought and emotional maturity than his former friends, as he is far more knowledgable about science and can more easily pick up on another's emotional state.
Pumbaa is a loyal and devoted friend. He was even willing to help Sonic in the final battle. He takes orders well and will fight fiercely for what he believes in. Though usually quite tame by nature, he can have a nasty temper. Even in the face of impossible odds, Pumbaa will stand his ground and fight bravely alongside his friends.
==Trivia==
*Pumbaa's name means "be foolish" or "be dumbfounded, be astonished" or "be weak-minded" or "be negligent, be careless, be thoughtless" or "be ignorant" in Swahili.
*Pumbaa, for a long time, disliked large crowds, which suggests that he has enochlophobia. Sonic helped him get over it so, for example, he could fight in the final battle.
*Pumbaa has had various love interests, including Gertie, Pika (whom he eventually marries), and Sharla.
*Pumbaa prefers his fries to have extra grease on them. This is a reference to the Disney movie, in which he says that he prefers grubs that are "slimy and satisfying".
*Pumbaa is proficient at using a laser blaster, but has trouble piloting.
