Shrews are a species of animal native to the Tree of Life.

History[]

Poa the Destroyer[]

They say you demolished the penguins' ice slide, threw rocks at the goats, and knocked over the shrews with a tidal wave.
Rani to Beshte[src]

While searching the Tree of Life's territory for interesting new animals, Beshte approached Sasem and Tsah's pond. They overheard him singing and came out of hiding to investigate, only for Beshte to inadvertently cause a tidal wave that knocked them over. As he walked away, oblivious to their distress, they surmised that he had knocked them over on purpose.

Later, Sasem and Tsah ran into several other animals who had been terrorized by Beshte, or "Poa the Destroyer," and decided to report him to the Night Pride. Together, the aggrieved animals explained Beshte's behavior to Baliyo, describing him as a monster who was as tall of the Tree of Life and on a path of destruction. Upon hearing about the incidents himself, Beshte went to check on the shrews, but they hid from him.

Eventually, the Lion Guard and the Night Pride resolved to clear Beshte's name. They gathered Beshte's victims at the Tree of Life and tried to explain that he was, in fact, a kind-hearted animal. At that moment, Beshte approached with Pinguino on his back, and Pinguino declared that Beshte had saved his life. Their faith in Beshte restored, the gathered animals started up a cheer of "Poa!" for him.[1]

Janna's death and Rani's coronation[]

As Queen Janna lay dying, Sasem and Tsah waited outside the Tree of Life for news. Eventually, Makini announced the queen's death to the crowd. That evening, Sasem and Tsah attended Rani's coronation at the Tree of Life.[2]

Kion's coronation[]

Sasem and Tsah attended Kion's wedding to Rani at the Tree of Life.[3]
