**Muhanga** is a female aardvark. She is a member of an armory of aardvarks who live in the Pride Lands. She is the mate of Muhangus.

## Biography

### Early life

Muhanga lived in the Pride Lands as a member of an aardvark armory.

### Bunga the Wise

When Bunga became a self-proclaimed sage, Muhanga visited him for advice. Bunga took her pile of grubs.

### Marriage to Muhangus

Muhanga married Muhangus. Simba officiated their wedding.

### Kupatana

Muhanga appeared when Dogo and his brothers invaded her den. She and her mate grew furious when Goigoi ate a piece of their fruit, and Kion did his best to diffuse the situation. Later, when the jackals continued to steal from other animals, she and several Pride Landers gathered around them angrily.

At the Kupatana celebration, she performed a choral piece with Basi, Mbuni, Mtoto's mother, and Twiga.

### False alarm

One night, Muhanga and Muhangus spotted aardwolves scrounging around their den and mistook them for hyenas. They alerted the Lion Guard to the problem, and Kion used the Roar of the Elders to blow the aardwolves away from the aardvark dens.

### New water source

Muhanga followed Ma Tembo as the elephant searched for a new water source.

### Scar's attacks

At Mizimu Grove, Rafiki and Simba announced Makini's mpando mpaya. In the midst of the celebration, the Army of Scar attacked, and the Pride Landers rose up to defend themselves. The battle paused when Scar appeared in the flames and threatened to overtake the entirety of the Pride Lands. Frightened by Scar's unexpected appearance, the remaining Pride Landers, including Muhanga, fled Mizimu Grove.

Simba approached the Pride Landers once the Lion Guard had calmed them and admitted that he had had knowledge of Scar's return for some time. The herds deliberated whether they should leave the Pride Lands, and Simba told them to inform him of their decision the following morning at Pride Rock.

The next day, Kion implored Muhanga and the others to follow him to Mizimu Grove before they decided to leave the kingdom. The herds followed Kion to Mizimu Grove, where Makini's baobab tree seed had survived the fire. This inspired the Pride Landers to remain in the kingdom and work together to defeat Scar.

## Physical appearance

Muhanga is a moderately sized aardvark. She has a medium brown pelt, black legs, and a pale underbelly.
