Description

Makuu is an adult male crocodile that resides in the Pride Lands. He is the current leader of his float. He serves as a major antagonist in Season 1, and later a reformed character in Season 2. Appearance Makuu is a large crocodile with bright green scales and a light green underbelly. He has several dark green scales running along his back and on his tail. He has some light green spots running along his back, and small black claws. Makuu has a long snout, and his eyes are yellow. Physically, he is also very strong. When initially introduced, Makuu is a young and courageous crocodile, but is also very prideful and arrogant. While he is no doubt strong, he is fairly mean-spirited and disrespectful towards others, always eager to pick a fight, believing that physical strength is the most important part of being a leader. Though physically tough and powerful, Basi notes that his fighting technique is inferior to that of Pua's. He believes that only weak and cowardly leaders are afraid to fight. Makuu does, however, know when he cannot win a fight, and will back down if so. He can be power-hungry and has no regard for the rules, especially when it comes to the Flood Plains. As the dry season comes near, Makuu discards his old ways becomes more responsible over time, wanting to ensure the survival of his float. He appears to have gained respect for the Circle of Life and the monarchy. He is willing to negotiate peacefully for the benefit of his float and the other Pride Landers, and will also show respect towards those that behave as his species does. Despite this, Makuu initially had problems with teamwork and was highly iritable towards Pride Landers who were not crocodiles as he and his float were highly independent and expected othe animals to be the same way as shown in "Pride Landers Unite". This changes after the Lion Guards's new army help save Makuu's float and watering fall from an attack by the Outlanders. He thanks the Pride Landers for their help and promises to return the favor whenever they need help. He is very intolerant of anyone in his float going against his direct orders, and shows that he is able to forgive those that make a mistake. He also views the safety of his float as being more important than his own wellbeing, a sign he has grown well into his new role.
