Bartholomew is a 40-foot tall monster that has red eyes, the head of a bull, the comb of a rooster, the fangs of a snake, the body of a bear (with purple fur), the feet of a primate, and a tail whose animal is unidentifiable. Despite being a monster, he is often labeled as a "Wild Animal."

Bartholomew was an scientific experiment created by [[Dr. Happy]]. Bartholomew used to live with the doctor for an unknown period of time until he had escaped from his laboratory, where he would live a lost and lonely lifestyle in the jungle.

During one of their training methods, Timon had Pumbaa dress up as the monster, only to mistake the ''real'' Bartholomew for Pumbaa during training, where the monster attacked them.

Simba and Bartholomew proceed to fight as Timon and Pumbaa flee the scene. After a short fight however, Simba "emerges" victorious when he confronts Timon and Pumbaa and explains to them Bartholomew's story. Feeling sympathetic for the monster, Simba offers to Bartholomew if he wanted to be friends with him, Timon, and Pumbaa (much to Timon's discomfort), to which Bartholomew shyly agrees. Later at night, the four animals proceed to sing "[[Hakuna Matata]]," mimicking the infamous scene in the film. Bartholomew's weight, however, is too much for the log to support all four of them, and then breaks while Bartholomew is crossing it, causing Bartholomew and the trio to comically fall down it.

Biography

Backstory

You see, ever since he escaped from Dr. Happy's lab, he's been lost and lonely and all alone, and I figured he'd make a nice addition to our Hakuna Matata club.
―Simba about Bartholomew[src]

Bartholomew is a monster who lived in the jungle during Scar's reign. He was created as a lab experiment by Dr. Happy, but he escaped into the jungle, where he met Simba and his friends, Timon and Pumbaa.

The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa

"Shake Your Djibouti"

And with this weird wild animal on the loose, we can't be too careful.
―Timon to Simba about Bartholomew[src]

In a vicious display of carnage and monstrosity, Bartholomew breaks his way out of Dr. Happy's lab, prompting the mad scientist's loyal pooch to report to his master about the monster's successful escape attempt. Despite the damage done to his facility, Dr. Happy shows little concern for the doings of Bartholomew, though the newspapers immediately pick up on the gravity of the situation and start to spread news about the disaster.

Upon seeing news reports about Bartholomew, Timon and Pumbaa start a training program with their friend Simba in which he protects them from predators while they hide in nearby foliage. Simba, however, pays little attention to their constant drills, confident in his abilities to take on dangerous predators.

SYD Timon Pumbaa Simba & Bartholomew

Simba explains that Bartholomew is a friend

Wanting to instill confidence in their lion friend, Timon and Pumbaa plot to have Simba think he has saved them from the escaped beast. The plan backfires, however, when Timon encounters Bartholomew while prepping the event and mistakes him for Pumbaa. When Pumbaa shows up, the meerkat realizes his mistake, and the two friends take off, screaming, into the jungle. They run immediately to Simba and force him into combat against the beast, but Simba quickly learns that Bartholomew is a friend.

In the face of his friends' shock, Simba explains that ever since escaping Dr. Happy's lab, Bartholomew has been lonely and lost. He suggests that they let Bartholomew into their gang. Realizing Bartholomew's potential as a bodyguard, Timon reluctantly agrees to the idea, and Bartholomew admits that he's been giving their motto a lot of thought. Once officially a member of their club, Bartholomew attempts to follow them across a log, but the trunk breaks beneath his weight, and all four friends slide backward into a ravine.
