===Backstory===
Dayaalu was born at the Tree of Life. Eventually, he married Janna, and became the second king of the Tree. He and Janna ruled for many moons until Dayaalu became ill with greencough and died; Janna abdicated the throne, allowing Jivin and Maya to take over.
===Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands===
====A Fragile Hope====
Rani mentions that Janna is worried about Jivin because greencough, the illness he had, is what killed her paternal grandfather, Dayaalu.
===Legends of the Lion Guard: The Dark Prophecy===
Janna recalls the times in which she ruled the Tree of Life with Dayaalu. As they walk to the Blazing Star, Nguruma asks Janna if it was hard for her to abdicate the throne following the death of Rani's grandfather, and she admits that while it was, she knew she was putting the Tree in good paws. She knows that Dayaalu is watching her from the stars and telling her a joke, which she misses fondly.
