Scar's Army (also called Army of Scar) are the main antagonists of Disney Junior's 2016 animated series, The Lion Guard.
It was founded and lead in Season 2 by the spirit of Scar, who was resurrected by Ushari and Janja's Clan, and comprises of animals residing in the Outlands with grudges against the Lion Guard and the Pride Lands as a whole. In Season 3, the army was disbanded after Scar is defeated by his grand-nephew Kion and becomes neutral under the rule of the hyena Jasiri.
History[]
After hearing how great lions of the past can be contacted from the afterlife, Ushari plots to use this knowledge to have his revenge on the Lion Guard for getting him trampled several times. He forms an alliance with the hyenas to bring back the most evil lion that ever lived: Scar, to help in their plot. Tricking Rafiki's apprentice, Makini into asking a question from Rafiki and with the help of the skinks, he learns that bad lions can be summoned with a Bakora staff and fire made by the Roar of the Elders; so he has the hyenas steal Makini's staff and kidnap Kion's sister in order to lure Kion to the Outlands and then threatening the rest of his family so he would give an angry roar that causes a volcano to erupt. After a initial failed attempt to resurrect Scar, Janja angrily throws the staff into the lava, thus causing Scar's spirit to finally rise from the flames.
Since then, Scar began to assemble many other animals from around the Outlands to aid him in destroying the Lion Guard and once again rule the Pridelands, such as Reirei and her jackals, Mzingo and his vultures, and Kiburi and his crocodiles after they were banished from their float by Makuu and Simba. He also employed the skinks to spy on the Pridelanders as well as his own troops. In addition, Scar enlisted the aid of certain deadly creatures such as Kenge the Monitor Lizard and Sumu the Scorpion in his cause. But despite all these assets, Kion and his Lion Guard always succeed in thwarting Scar's schemes.
In "The Battle for The Pride Lands", seasons into the conflict, Scar’s army learns of the Lion Guard’s plans to invade the Outlands and overpower the army as well as Janja’s consideration of helping the Guard in their plans. To counter this, Scar leads Janja into a trap by telling him to keep the Lion Guard in their lair. Soon it’s revealed that the trap involved setting fire to Pride Rock, with the royal family, the Lion Guard, and Janja’s clan inside. The plan fails, and eventually Janja turns to the Lion Guard’s side, giving them information on how to beat Scar. However, this information was also a lie orchestrated by Scar in the event that Janja survives; If Kion attempts to banish Scar using the Roar of the Elders, it will cause an eruption that will wipe out the Pride Lands.
