Janja's Clan

Janja's Clan are the antagonists of the 2015 Disney Channel film The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and recurring antagonists in it's 2016 Disney Junior follow up series The Lion Guard.

They are a clan of hyenas led by Janja that live in the Outlands and are descendants of the clan that aided Scar in The Lion King. They are the main enemies of the Lion Guard. They do not respect The Circle of Life and constantly break it by hunting as much as they want in the Pride Lands, only to be stopped by the Lion Guard, which is led by the prince of the Pride Lands Kion.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
The clan are first seen in their lair watching their leader Janja eating a bone. Moments later, Janja notices a honey badger named Bunga wandering nearby and decides that he would make a good meal and with that sends his henchmen Cheezi & Chungu to capture Bunga. However, the two fail to get Bunga as he is saved by his friend Kion, who uses the Roar of the Elders to rescue him.

Later, Janja berates Cheezi and Chungu for failing to capture Bunga despite their claims of Kion stopping them. Just then a vulture named Mzingo arrives and tells the hyenas that Kion has been made the leader of the Lion Guard by his father King Simba. Having heard of the Lion Guard (who protect the Pride Lands and defend the Circle of Life) and how the previous one was destroyed by Scar (who used the Roar of the Elders to kill his members for not wanting to help him overthrow his brother Mufasa) as King), Janja via singing "Tonight We Strike", makes a plan to attack the Pride Lands that day and hunt as many animals as they can before the new Lion Guard is formed.

Later that day, the clan enter the Pride Lands and attack a herd of gazelles, causing a stampede. Fortunately, Kion and his Lion Guard are able to stop the stampede, before Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blast the clan back to the Outlands.
