Mwoga

―Mwoga to Mpishi[src] | ”

**Mwoga** is a male vulture. He is a member of Mzingo's parliament.

Initially, Mwoga and his parliament were enemies of the Lion Guard, with whom they had frequent clashes. The vultures eventually joined the army of the resurrected spirit of Scar, whose goal was to take over the Pride Lands. Eventually, the Pride Landers defeated the Army of Scar, and Jasiri became the queen of the Outlands.

## Biography

### Early life

Mwoga lived in the Outlands. He was a member of Mzingo's parliament.

### Ono's damaged eyesight

―Mwoga reports to his parliament[src] | ”

When Ono was flying over the Pride Lands, desperate to prove that his injured eye was not an impediment, he bumped into Mwoga, who observed the chaos of the Lion Guard down below and decided to report back to Mzingo. Once in the Outlands, Mwoga joined his parliament and reported what he had seen of Ono's hurt vision. Janja happened to overhear the conversation and hatched a plan to trick the Lion Guard while Ono was out of commission.

### Attack on Fuli

―Mwoga, after Fuli collapses from exhaustion[src] | ”

When Fuli overexerted herself on a mission, she became so exhausted that she collapsed beneath a tree. In its branches, Mwoga and his parliament spotted Fuli resting beneath their tree and resolved to make her into their next meal. The parliament descended and started to attack Fuli, who was too weak to defend herself. Just in time, the Lion Guard arrived and fought off the vultures. Kion then used the Roar of the Elders to blow the parliament away. Once the vultures were gone, Fuli thanked her friends for saving her and promised to wait for them on the next mission.

### Attack on the baby baboon

―Mwoga[src] | ”

While on patrol, the Lion Guard spotted Mwoga and his parliament circling in the distance. Upon arriving on the scene, they witnessed the vultures attempting to kill a baby baboon. Together, the team rescued the baby baboon and chased off the vultures.

After the rescue, Fuli was tasked with returning the baby baboon to his troop. Along the way, she spotted Mwoga and his parliament once more and so hid in a field of tall grass with the baby baboon. Despite this, the vultures caught sight of and overheard the baby baboon, and Fuli was forced to show herself. In an attempt to fool the vultures, she claimed to simply be out hunting. Mzingo asked what she was hunting. Fuli commented that Mzingo was looking rather plump, which made the parliament take off in a hurry.

With the vultures gone, Fuli returned the baby baboon to his home. However, the vultures closed in for an attack, and Fuli climbed up the cliffs to save the troop. Mzingo ordered Mwoga and another vulture to get the baby baboon while he handled Fuli. However, the two were thwarted by several baboons, who tossed fruit at them. Mzingo was also defeated, after which he called for his parliament to retreat.

### Alliance with Mpishi

―Mwoga to Mpishi[src] | ”

While out flying, Mwoga encountered a harrier hawk and began to follow her. As the hawk was flying, she noticed Mwoga trailing her and demanded to know if he was following her. Mwoga admitted that he was, for hawks tended to leave behind leftovers that vultures could pick over. He then politely introduced himself to her. The hawk introduced herself as Mpishi and explained that she was hoping to sample some new food in the Pride Lands. She lamented how the Lion Guard had continually interrupted her hunts, then attempted to strike up a partnership with Mwoga. The two briefly argued over whether fresh meat or carrion was better. Afterward, Mwoga agreed to help her avoid the Lion Guard.

Meanwhile, Ono searched the area for the baby hamerkop he had been babysitting and spotted her wandering near the river. Fuli attempted to save the baby hamerkop from danger but arrived too late to stop her from falling into the raging water. With no time to lose, the Lion Guard and the baby's mother, Kulinda, pursued the baby hamerkop down the river, only to watch in horror as Mpishi grasped the baby in her talons and took off for the safety of the skies.

Mpishi worked with Mwoga to keep the baby hamerkop from falling back into the Lion Guard's grasp. From the ground, Bunga worked out how he could help Kulinda and Ono, and climbed a tree in order to reach the feuding birds. He managed to knock Mwoga from the sky, but Mpishi only took the baby hamerkop from him and swooped out of harm's way once more, leaving him in the dust.

## Physical appearance

Like most vultures, Mwoga is thin and gangly. He has dark blue feathers, a ring of white feathers around his neck, and a red-tipped beak. His eyes are black.

## Personality and traits

Mwoga is sneaky and devious, and jumps at opportunities to take advantage of the Lion Guard's weaknesses. He is somewhat of a coward and prefers to attack only if his prey is unable to fight back. When it comes to food, Mwoga prefers carrion over fresh meat and likes to tail hawks so as to pick over their leftovers. Despite his former enmity with the Lion Guard, Mwoga bears them no ill will and is content to serve Jasiri.
