Makuu

"You are old and weak, Pua. Today is the end of your reign."

- Makuu to Pua before their mashindano

Makuu is the leader of the crocodiles living in The Pride Lands, a minor character in the 2015 Disney Channel TV film The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and a main antagonist in it's 2016 Disney Junior follow-up series The Lion Guard.

He is voiced by Blair Underwood.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
Makuu makes a brief appearance in this film when Bunga jumps onto his head. Makuu lifts himself out of the water in annoyance and growls at Kion who is following suit.

The Rise of Makuu
Makuu accuses the leader of the crocodiles Pua of being a coward for refuseing the offset of The Circle of Life by hunting fish in Big Springs and challenges him to a mashindano, believing that the float have a right to eat fish from Big Springs. Whilst being watched on by a crowd of animals including Kion, Bunga, Beshte, Fuli, Kiara, Simba, Nala, Tiifu and Zuri, Makuu wins the battle and becomes the new leader of the crocodiles and is congratulated by Simba who then thanks Pua for his service as leader. Pua thanks the King before leaving (as in tradition if the leader is defeated, they are banished from the fleet). Makuu then taunts Pua as he leaves (but Pua ignores him) before being chanted on by his fleet. Kion then wonders if Makuu's new position might bring bad news to The Pride Lands. This eventually comes true when Makuu takes over Big Springs and forces the other animals to switch habitats.

Kion confronts Makuu, asking him to leave Big Springs, but the crocodile refuses, mocking Kion for being unwilling to fight. Though Bunga encourages Kion to use the Roar of the Elders, the cub decides against it, not wanting to be like Scar and lash out in anger. Instead, Kion goes to Pua, asking for him to call for another mashindano, but Pua reminds Kion that Makuu is much stronger than him. He then advises Kion to back down if he's not willing to fight Makuu.

After Kion encounters Mufasa, he and his friends decide to demonstrate the Roar of the Elders on a grove of trees to show Makuu what he would be in for if he should attempt a fight. While Bunga, Fuli, and Ono set out to clear the grove of animals, Beshte and Kion confront Makuu. When Ono gives the signal, Kion roars into the trees, clearing them all of their branches. In awe, Makuu backs down and leads his float out of Big Springs.
