Chuluun

*Circle of Life? I follow my own rules.*
―Chuluun
**Chuluun** is a female snow leopard who lived in the Theluji Mountain.

## Appearance

Chuluun has a thick, fluffy build. Her fur is a dark lavender-gray in color, broken by white eyerims and cheek rims. Her muzzle, chest, underbelly, paws, and the underside of her tail are also white; her muzzle has a set of freckles on each side of it. She has a dark gray diamond marking on her temple, and the rest of her pelt is covered in dark gray markings and rosettes. Her tail-tip, in addition, is dark gray. She has gray ears with lighter patches on the back and near-black ear rims, and the inner portion of her ears is a two-toned pink. Her nose is dark pink, and her eyes are blue with ice-blue sclerae.

## Personality

Chuluun is haughty and disrespectful, harboring amiability towards neither neighbors nor newcomers, even if they are stronger than her. She takes great pride in her natural camouflage, and is willing to use it to any advantage. She also has little regard for the Circle of Life.

## History

### Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands

#### Kion and Nguruma's Birthday

Chuluun and the rest of Makucha's Leap team up with Kiburi's Float to crash the birthday celebration at Mizimu Grove. During the attack, they go after Binga and Chausiku. The leap and float are soon driven to the center of the grove, where they are blasted away with the Roar of the Elders.

### Legends of the Lion Guard: The Dark Prophecy

Chuluun, along with the rest of Makucha's Leap, spy on the Lion Guard, Makini, Mhina, and Nguruma as they make their way to the Tree of Life. She stands beside Makucha, sharing an intrigued glance with him. After Orji refuses to side with his brother, Chuluun pledges her loyalty to Makucha, promising to follow him to the Tree of Life. The leap soons arrive at the waterfall, and Chuluun asks if this is the right way, to which Makucha affirms that he's sure. Upon meeting Ora's Bank and Reth's Pride, Chuluun steps to Makucha's side, curious. While Ora and his bank agree to ally the leap in their plans to invade the Tree of Life, Reth rejects this offer, opting to remain independent with his pride. Later, Makucha's Leap and Ora's Bank arrive at the Mountain Pass. Chuluun asks if this is worth it, and Makucha affirms that it is, promising that there will be rare animals for them to take. Suddenly, a binturong named Mama Binturong arrives, remarking that they are too flawed in their attacks and effectively taking over as leader, much to Makucha and Chuluun's shock. Shortly after, Mama Binturong says that it is time for their first attack, and Chuluun questions if she's worried about the Tree's defenses, but Mama dismisses this.

Ullu sees them enter the Mountain Pass, and upon watching them target Cek's Flock at Winter Woods, she decides to warn the Night Pride; Rani recognizes Makucha and his leap. Once they find out everything, the Night Pride, along with Ullu, Kingiza, Mhina, and the Lion Guard, dash to Winter Woods and engage in a fight with the predators. After Mama Binturong is sprayed with Bunga's stink, she orders the army to retreat, and they run away from Winter Woods. Kion realizes that Makucha and his friends followed the Lion Guard as well, much to Rani's ire, and Mhina points out that they never asked to be followed by them or Reth's Pride. Some time after, the army of predators argues amongst themselves over what to attack next. Chuluun suggests attacking camels that live nearby, but Ora mutters that they'll get kicked and gain a broken skull if they do that. Mama Binturong angrily silences them, revealing her intentions to get revenge on Bunga - which don't sell with the army - including Chuluun, who points out that focusing on one specific member of the Lion Guard won't weaken them - until she clarifies that they'll also have a chance to pursue rare animals. Makucha agrees, declaring that they're in. As they travel to Bamboo Woods, Makucha's Leap is observed by Ullu and Cara, and they fly off to warn the Lion Guard and Night Pride. Upon arriving, Makucha explains that Mama wants revenge against Bunga and they want to go after rare animals - so they're going to attack the elephants and golden wolves living here.

He assigns Chuluun, Khurdan, and Chungwa to help him take on the wolves and Fahari and Jiona to target the elephants. They charge into the woods, immediately pursuing the golden wolves, and soon, the Lion Guard and a few members of the Night Pride arrive on the scene. During the battle, Bunga faces off against Makucha, Chuluun, Fahari, and Jiona. Chuluun leaps toward him, but he dodges her, pushes off a tree, and lands on top of her. Using his paws, Bunga covers her eyes, making Chuluun struggle to throw him off. As she does so, he jumps off of her, sending her into Khurdan and Chungwa. Fahari and Jiona then try to capture him, but Bunga is too quick and propels himself away from the tree, causing the leopards to smash into it. Makucha then jumps down onto Bunga and captures him. Bunga tries to free himself, but it is no use, and Mama Binturong arrives alongside Smun's Prickle. The porcupines trap Bunga just as he kicks Makucha away and begin to lead him out of Bamboo Woods, but using his catchphrase and stink, he tricks the army and drives them off. Later, Mama rallies her army and prepares them for their biggest attack on the Tree of Life. Suddenly, Chuluun notices Orji spying and shrieks, startling Ullu out of her hiding spot as well. Mama Binturong then assigns her, along with most of the army, to start attacking the Tree.

During the battle, Chuluun chases Astuto's Leash as well as a group of Amur leopards before Kion directly blasts her and Makucha with the Roar of the Elders, sending them stumbling backwards. With the whole army soon knocked out of commission, Kion sweeps them up in a tornado and sends them far away from the Tree of Life.
