==Plot==
On the Savannah, a mouse is eating roots when what sounds like Makuu the crocodile tells the mouse "Mm-hmm you look tasty! I'm gonna eat you!" and the mouse runs away in fear. Elsewhere, a rabbit is eating a bush when a voice that sounds like Goigoi says the same thing. The Rabbit runs off in fear. At the same time, an aardvark is eating some bugs when he hears a voice that sounds like Janja says the same thing. The aardvark runs away in fear. The three animals run into the Lion Guard and tell them everything. The Lion Guard investigate and find the three predators were never there. Upon further investigation, they discover the perp is a drongo named Tamaa. He gets food by scaring animals away by imitating the voices of predators. They make him promise to never do this again.
Unfortunately, Tamaa was overheard by the real Janja who takes him prisoner. He uses the drongo's gift to trick a herd of impalas into heading into the Outlands. Fortunately, this is heard by a zebra who tells the Lion Guard. Meanwhile, Tamaa tricks Cheezi into letting him go and uses his gift to temporarily fool Janja into thinking he's surrounded by the Lion Guard. When the ruse is discovered, the real Lion Guard appears and defeats Janja.
