Harak is a male elephant. He is a member of Ashtaa's herd.
Harak schemed to kill his younger sister, Belee, because she received more love from their mother, Ashtaa. He formed an alliance with an eagle named Claws, who distracted Ashtaa and the rest of the herd while Harak made an attempt on Belee's life. Simba overheard the plot and attacked Harak, but Belee, misunderstanding the situation, tried to intervene, which caused a pile of bones to bury both her and Simba. This humbled Harak, who felt remorse for having tried to kill his sister when she had been willing to give her life for him. Belee eventually emerged unharmed, and Harak repented of his jealous ways.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Harak was born to Ashtaa. He had a younger sister named Belee. Along with his mother's herd, he lived within or close by the jungle. Over time, Harak came to resent his sister because she received more attention from their mother.[1]
Plot to kill Belee[]
When Belee safely returned to the herd after a period of separation, Harak was the only member of the herd who was dissatisfied. He resented his sister for getting most of their mother's attention and Simba for bringing her back.
Simba attacks Harak.
On their way to an elephants' graveyard, he met up with an eagle named Claws, who was angry at Simba for having foiled his attempt to eat Timon. Since they shared a common enemy, the two decided to team up and get rid of each other's problems.
When the herd arrived at the elephants' graveyard, Harak devised a plan to capture Simba and crush Belee under a heavy skeleton. Before the plot could reach fruition, Simba attacked Harak, which confused and upset Belee. She tried to thwart the attack, which caused a pile of bones to topple onto both her and Simba. Immediately, Harak repented of his evil ways, as he felt guilty that Belee had been willing to sacrifice her life for him. Just then, Belee emerged unharmed, and Harak was scolded by Ashtaa, who explained that she spent more time with Belee because she was younger and needed guidance. Harak apologized to Belee and said he would never forgive himself for having been so jealous.[1]
