Don't you know it's good luck to help a lion?
―Kwashi to his sister

Kwashi is a baboon who was deleted from the final movie. He can be found in King of the Jungle.

Appearance

Kwashi is an old and rickety mandrill with a long silver beard and mane, and brown fur. His nose is pink, and his face is a lighter brown.

Personality

Mandrill 1: Maybe Uncle Kwashi will know.
Madrill 2: Yeah, he knows everything!
—Kwashi's nephews

Kwashi's personality is similar to that of Rafiki's; however, he is purely wise and not a bit insane. He is a truthful and honest individual, not containing the truth even if it does hurt.

Information

In King of the Jungle

Zazu: ...where are you off to in such a hurry?
Kwashi: To find a lion, a champion, to rid us of these...these heinous-
—Kwashi's plan to free the lands from the hyenas

Kwashi meets Simba for the first time while picking blossoms when the prince is looking for his friend Nala. Later, when the lion is a teenager and Mufasa is defeated, he instructs Simba to run across the desert to escape the hyenas - to stay alive, and when he believes the prince has failed him, he looks for another lion to help free the Pride Lands.

He finds Simba again, older and stronger, and helps the lion take back his kingdom.
