Galagos are a species of animal native to the Pride Lands.
History[]
Fuli's rescue[]
| “ | ” |
One day, Ono spotted three galagos about to fall off a tree branch. Before the galagos could be harmed, Fuli sped to the tree and caught them on her back. Thankful for their rescue, the galagos hugged her.[1]
Conflict with Badili[]
| “ | ” |
Laini and her group were scared away from their tree by a leopard named Badili. They appealed to the Lion Guard for help and sought shelter at Hakuna Matata Falls in the meantime, until they were frightened away by Pumbaa's flatulence. The galagos then decided to stay with the Guard, as they were still terrified of Badili. Once the Guard helped Badili drive a rival leopard, Mapigano, from his territory, the galagos returned to their home.[2]
Beshte's rescue[]

One day, the Lion Guard found three galagos stuck beneath a log. Ono called to Beshte for help, and he promptly lifted the log, thus freeing the galagos.[3]
Sheltering Ma Tembo's herd[]
| “ | Kion: Elephants, hold still! See? Everything's okay now. Laini: But only because they're not moving! When they walk, the ground shakes, and the trees move, and...
|
” |
After Ma Tembo's herd left Kilio Valley due to a fire, Kion requested that the herd temporarily stay with Laini and her galagos. At first, Laini was receptive to the elephants staying in her home, but once their heavy plods started making the ground shake and causing galagos to fall out of trees, she appealed to Kion to take them elsewhere.
Laini appeals to Kion to take the elephants elsewhere.
Later, a new fire broke out at Ndefu Grove. The Lion Guard rushed to the grove, where Laini begged them to save her galagos. Bunga, Fuli, and Kion quickly pinpointed the galagos, who were trapped in a tree, and saved them from the flames. However, as they were delivering them safely back to Laini, Beshte informed them that the fire was not being put out fast enough. Kion resolved to find help, while the rest of the Lion Guard stayed behind to combat the fire.
Kion raced across the Pride Lands to where Ma Tembo and her herd were traveling to another kingdom. He explained the situation to her, and she agreed to help the galagos, as she considered the other Pride Landers her family. The elephants soon arrived in Ndefu Grove and put out the fire. Relieved, Laini thanked the elephants for their help and offered them a place in Ndefu Grove. They happily accepted her offer.[4]
Encounter with Shujaa[]

Beshte and Shujaa encountered Laini and her fellow galagos in a tree, where they were suspicious of a serval who was on the opposite branch. The serval admitted to being stuck, and Beshte questioned Shujaa as to what they should do. Shujaa suggested uprooting the tree, but Beshte reminded him that the tree was the galagos' home. This led Shujaa to bend the branch of the tree down to the ground so that the serval could clamber to safety. However, when Shujaa let go of the branch, he accidentally catapulted Laini and the galagos into another tree.[5]
Scar's attacks[]

Bunga recruits the galagos for training.
After Scar's army launched many attacks on the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard concluded that the Pride Landers must unite against the threat of the Outlanders. They gathered together Bupu's herd, Laini's group, Ma Tembo's herd, and Mbeya's crash.
At first, the various groups of Pride Landers were tense, but Kion worked to defuse the tension. He instructed the animals to race toward Bunga. However, the event soon got out of hand, with the larger animals tripping over the galagos and ending up in a heap. Kion then got the idea to call Makuu the crocodile for help. Makuu begrudgingly agreed to help train the Pride Landers, but his training proved too rigorous and ruthless for the other Pride Landers to master.
The galagos join the fight against the Army of Scar.
Later, after Makuu abandoned the Pride Landers, the Army of Scar besieged his float. Ono witnessed the battle from the air and reported his findings to Kion. Together, the Lion Guard and their Pride Lander allies stormed the watering hole and fought off the Army of Scar. After the fight, Makuu thanked the Pride Landers for their help and vowed to do the same for them, should the need ever arise.[6]
One day, at Mizimu Grove, Rafiki and Simba announced Makini's mpando mpaya, and Timon and Pumbaa performed "Tujiinue" for a crowd of Pride Landers. In the midst of the celebration, the Army of Scar attacked, and the Pride Landers rose up to defend themselves. However, the battle paused when Scar's spirit 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 Laini and her group, fled Mizimu Grove.
The galagos worry about Scar's threat.
After the Lion Guard calmed the Pride Landers, Simba approached 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 morning, Kion implored the Pride Landers to follow him to Mizimu Grove before they decided to leave the Pride Lands for good. The herds followed Kion to Mizimu Grove, where Makini's baobab tree seed had survived the fire. This inspired them to remain in the kingdom and work together to defeat Scar.[7]
Battle for the Pride Lands[]
| “ | Bunga: And I'll get the galagos. Fuli: Galagos? Kion: I know what you're thinking. But if we're invading the Outlands, we'll need all the help we can get.

The galagos participated in the battle against Scar and his army.[8]
Battle of the Lion Guards[]

Tazama uses her keen sight to locate Laini during the Battle of the Lion Guards.
One day, Laini rushed into the Lair of the Lion Guard, crying for help. However, she paused when she realized that both Kion's and Vitani's Lion Guards were present. She then bid them to follow her to Mbali Fields, and both groups agreed to the task. Once at Mbali Fields, the Lion Guards found Thurston trapped in a hole. The two groups bickered over who should save him, while Azaad guided Thurston out of the hole himself. The incident inspired the two groups to compete for who deserved to protect the Pride Lands.
Later, during the Battle of the Lion Guards, Laini hid in a dark cave to test the keenest of sight. Both Anga and Tazama tried to find her, with Tazama eventually locating her and bearing her out of the cave, thus winning the competition. Laini witnessed another competition between Bunga and Shabaha for the bravest. Finally, Laini watched the final mashindano between Kion and Vitani, and marveled at Kion lifting Pride Rock with the Roar of the Elders.[9]
