Thurston's Herd

**Thurston's Herd** is a group of zebras led by Thurston. They live in the Pride Lands.

## History

### Never Judge a Hyena by Its Spots

Thurston's Herd is grazing near a forest. Fuli, Beshte, Ono, and Bunga are conversing nearby, needing directions to Flat Ridge Rock. Thurston breaks away from the herd to talk with them, but fails to remember where he was going once he proves not to know where Flat Ridge Rock is. Ono suggests back to his herd, and Thurston rejoins the group.

### The Rise of Makuu

Thurston's herd attends the Mashindano between the crocodiles Makuu and Pua. When Makuu throws Pua over, two members lead forward while another cringes back. They eventually witness Makuu's victory over Pua.

### Eye of the Beholder

Thurston's herd is grazing at Chakula Plains. Ono arrives and eventually dives at the herd, causing them to panic and run further away from a nearby canyon. When Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to free himself and the Lion Guard from the canyon, a cloud of dust sweeps towards the herd, but they are unharmed and continue eating. Now free, Lion Guard ensures that Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu are unable to attack the zebras.

### The Kupatana Celebration

Thurston's herd comes to the Kupatana celebration.

### Follow That Hippo!

Thurston's herd panic and runs when they thought they saw hyenas.

### Paintings and Predictions

The Lion Guard goes to help Thurston's herd, who are stampeding through the Pride Lands. The stampede causes a rock high above to fall, but Fuli is able to move the zebras out of the way just in time. When questioned as to what caused the stampede, Thurston explains that it was a "great big boom", and Ono deducts that he's referring to the thunder from a storm not long ago. Thurston goes on to inform them that the herd did what they always did when something scared them: panicked and ran. Ono assures the lead zebra that it is safe for the herd to go home now, but Thurston fails to remember where their home is. Kion has Ono guide the zebras back to their grazing grounds. Nearby, unbeknownst to the herd, three hyenas watch and sing "Panic and Run", a song about attacking the herd. When the zebras reach the grazing grounds, a female zebra thanks Ono, and the herd begins to eat. But the hyenas attack, inducing the herd into a panic. The Lion Guard arrives and drives the hyenas away, but three members of the herd- Thurston, the female zebra, and a foal- are separated from the others, now located at Maji Baridi Falls. The Guard goes to fetch them, and with the help of Kion's Roar, are able to save them and presumably return them to their herd.

### The Imaginary Okapi

Thurston's herd are first seen grazing during Life in the Pride Lands.

When Ajabu tries to blend in with Thurston's herd, Thurston himself is quick to realise that this new face is not a zebra, declaring it loudly which gains the attention of a leopard named Makucha. After some more questions to the okapi, Thurston comes face to face with Makucha and starts to run, along with his herd. When he lands on top of Makucha he fears for his life, but becomes offended when Makucha is disinterested in him.

### Never Roar Again

Thurston and his herd are relaxing at The Flood Plains, when Makuu and his float attack. When a mongoose rushes past him Thurston becomes annoyed, but soon sees the approaching crocodile which sends him into a frenzy.

When the Lion Guard arrive, Kion uses his Roar on a raincloud, dispersing some water which helps loosen the mud.
