Alright, time for the love interests:

Kuumwa (sting)-Sumu’s love interest; Is basically the girl in the song ��Red Flags”. She appears innocent at first, but she soon reveals how devious, cunning, and a little crazy (like “can and will kill you if she feels like it” crazy) she is and it makes Sumu both attracted to and terrified of her. She meets Sumu during mating season and despite her…obvious flaws, he decides “challenge accepted”, resulting in a passionate tango. Despite going their separate ways after the courtship is over, they still genuinely have feelings for one another and hope to see each other again. To make it more family-friendly (it IS Disney), they’re like the scorpion version of Gomez and Morticia Addams

I know full well what female scorpions do to the males but TLG is still Disney and I am NOT touching that

Hukumu’s float: A rather small crocodile float living in a lake in the edge of the Backlands (and where the Pride Lands end). They’ve deemed themselves as the Backland’s protectors who don’t take kindly to intruders. That being said, they are willing to cooperate with other species if needed

I’m not TOO sure on how they meet Kiburi’s float, but for now let’s say Kiburi’s watering hole is drying up so they need to share it with Hukumu in the Backlands until it gets more rain or something like that.

—Hukumu(judgemental)-Kiburi’s love interest and the leader of her float; She’s basically the mom friend. Good-hearted, bold, wise, and very hardworking, she’ll do anything to keep her float and the Backlands safe since it’s all she has left. Although she’s nice (for a croc at least), she’s judgemental and untrustworthy at first along with a no-nonsense attitude. She doesn’t care who you are. If you’re giving off bad vibes, you’re not befriending her anytime soon. It’s like her sixth sense. She can tell if an animal is good or bad at heart. She and Kiburi practically hated each other at first. She always kept downplaying his ideas and hurting his ego while he acted dismissive and cold to her. However, they realize they have more in common than they thought the more time they spend with each other and soon think “maybe you aren’t so bad after all”. Kiburi has to admit, he likes her fighting spirit. It’s attractive.

And now they couldn’t be happier together~

“You may be the most dangerous crocodile in the Outlands, but that doesn’t mean anything to me.”-Hukumu to Kiburi

—Erevu (sensible/resourceful)-Tamka’s love interest; The smartest and most logical of the float. She knows everything about every animal in Africa and can easily come up with a strategy for any occasion (battle, how to put out a fire, etc.). While Tamka sometimes doesn’t know what she’s talking about, he absolutely loves listening to her and admires her intelligence. Erevu has no idea how on earth she fell for such an idiot, but she’s grateful to have someone appreciate her brains rather than her looks since she was always known in the past as “the pretty one”.

“….Did you just say you weren’t smart?”-Erevu to Tamka

—Kuamua (determined)-Nduli’s love interest; The spunky, loud-mouthed little sister of Hukumu who likes to rush into things (mostly fights) and doesn’t back down easily. While a bit ditzy, she still has a big heart and prioritizes doing the right thing. Upon meeting Kiburi’s float, she immediately assumes they’re looking for a fight (which, to her credit, isn’t completely false), prompting her to try and attack Nduli until Erevu stops her. She eventually begins to grow closer to Nduli because of his optimism, which she finds adorable. As for Nduli, well he’s liked her from the start so it works out

“Listen up, nobody tells my friends to leave! You want this watering hole, you’re gonna have to get through me first, you—you…you’re kinda cute…”-Kuamua to Nduli

More Lion Guard oc’s I have in my mind cuz I need to get it out

I know I talked about some oc’s in this post: https://www.tumblr.com/devilsrecreation/724739555112222720/you-know-how-i-mentioned-a-whole-tlg-fic-idea-with

BUT I CANNOT REST FOR I HAVE MADE MORE:

Jino (tooth)- Kenge’s oldest sibling who brings back some bad memories. He hasn’t changed since he was a hatchling and is the only animal who is able to call Kenge a “little lizard” without getting bitten, likely due to Kenge being secretly scared of him. It isn’t until he brings up Ushari (thinking he ditched Kenge, not knowing about his death) that Kenge finally stands up for himself and puts his brother in his place.

“Once a little lizard, always a little lizard”-Jino at Kenge

Voice claim: Peter Dinklage

Honestly, that would be a pretty good fanfic. Jino comes to visit and everyone in the Outlands gets to see a whole different side to Kenge. Like, he goes from an aggressive lizard with a Napoleon complex to just…freezing. And this surprises everyone cuz the Kenge they know would NEVER act like this. The most he’d do is get angry while Jino taunts him, orders him around, steals his food, and steps on his tail. Jasiri, being the good queen she is, tries to understand what Kenge’s going through, even trying to get the two brothers to get along. Kenge finally breaks after he witnesses Jino telling the others stories about their childhood. He tries to stand up to him, but Jino just laughs and calls him “little lizard”. Everyone thinks Kenge would snap and attack his brother, but merely lets out an angry yell and walks away. Jasiri chases after him, asking if he’s okay, then Kenge opens up about everything. After some encouragement from Jasiri and the skinks (and Jino mentioning Ushari), Kenge decides he’s had enough of his trauma haunting him and stands up to his eldest brother once and for all via pinning him to the ground and letting everything out. This sends Jino submitting to Kenge for once, apologizing, and running back home

-There would be numerous flashbacks and mini flashbacks from Kenge’s past throughout the fic: from meeting Ushari to biting his first victim

-We’d get to see Ushari’s reaction to everything as well (He hates Jino)

Maji (water)-A tough female nile monitor with no filter who can be just as aggressive as Kenge is. She has this sort of enemies to lovers relationship with him, with him being jealous that she’s bigger than he is. Slowly but surely, the mutual hatred turns into feelings the more they find out how alike they are and they become mates

Voice claim: Joan Cusack

-While Kenge claims to be the biggest lizard in the Outlands, Maji says she’s the biggest lizard in the Pridelands

-The rivalry starts when she steals Kenge’s food right in front of him, then when he tries to fight her, she pins him down

-From there, they always find ways to show off and one-up each other

-They end up having a bragging contest which ends in them going from yelling to aggressive kissing (whatever the lizard equivalent looks like)

-After a stupid amount of time processing their growing feelings for one another, they finally just confess and become the badass couple. Kenge has a soft spot for her

-Kenge was a stammering mess cuz he couldn’t find the right words when Maji just flat out told him

-Unlike her mate, she can control her anger and is usually the one to put Kenge in his place. It’s actually pretty easy for her, especially when he gets hostile for no reason. For example, he’ll get mad over someone saying “a little help” and Maji would yell at him, telling him to shut up and that it’s just an expression…and he actually listens!

-While Kenge has beef with Bunga, Maji would have beef with Binga

-After they start dating, Kenge (temporarily, as it’s a phase) becomes a completely different lizard. He’s much happier than normal and talks about Maji for hours. He even has this staring problem whenever he’s in the Pridelands. Meanwhile, Maji has become a lot more wistful and giggly

-They do the classic “that’s my girl/that’s my boyfriend!” with each other

-Maji tends to get really flirty with Kenge when they’re alone

Mkali (fierce)-It’s kind of a “what if” idea where Kiburi adopts a daughter and she becomes super badass

-Orphaned albino crocodile

-Backstory: Nduli finds her egg poking out of the dirt while searching for food and brings it to Kiburi. After trying to find its mother to no avail, Kiburi decides “screw it. I’ll take it in, but I’m not getting attached to it”. When it hatches, he names the new member Mkali

-Their relationship at first is like:

Kiburi: Leave me alone, kid.

Mkali: *cuddles Kiburi’s tail*

Kiburi: Okay, you’re my child now

-Daddy’s girl

-Wants to be taken seriously

-Calls the other crocs her uncles

Hatari (lethal)-You know how hippos are pretty much one of the most homicidal animals irl? That’s Hatari. Intimidating and territorial, he has a particular enmity towards crocodiles and devotes his life to getting rid of them since he sees them as feral, ruthless monsters. Although he claims to care about the circle of life, he doesn’t realize the roles crocodiles have in it and only thinks about himself in the matter (not even other hippos)

-He lives in a huge watering hole on the outskirts of the pride lands where everyone is warned not to go. There is a pile of food near it that he keeps all to himself

-Songs that fit him:

“Get Out” (Hello Neighbor song)-describes how territorial he is

“Bats” (MLP)-Basically his feelings towards crocs

-Is like this because he lost his entire pod to crocodiles and refuses to believe some are good

Piga (snap)-Kiburi’s dad. Although he was a bold, hardcore, stone-faced brute to others (think Terence from Angry Birds), he showed his soft side to his favorite son, Kiburi. Since the death of his mate, he swore to himself that he was going to teach his kids how to be the best and strongest they can be. Although he kinda gave Kiburi and his siblings some tough love, he genuinely cared about his son and let him know it when he died

-Kiburi gets a lot of his personality from him. Even some of the things he’s said came straight from his old man

“This is our watering hole now! We say when you can drink! And if you don't listen... Lemme show you what'll happen."

“We’re crocodiles. We don't wait around for other animals to tell us what to do! We take what we want”

“I say we deal with him the crocodile way!”

“Nothin' tastier than a meal with a sense of humor."

Yeah. All Piga. Now, don’t get me wrong, even though he was like this, he never dreamed of taking over the Pride Lands. He knew his place when it came to King Mufasa and never once challenged Pua to a mashidano

-He had a lot of battle scars on him, the most notable one being right next to his eye

-Second strongest crocodile (the first being Pua)

-Best friends with Pua

-Kind of a sore loser when it came to losing a fight, but would never take it out on any of his kids. He does appreciate Kiburi’s support about it

-He’s EXTREMELY stubborn. When it comes to getting him to budge, he is just like Terence. He doesn’t, no matter how hard you try. The only exception is a hippo if it’s strong enough (like, as big as/bigger than Basi and as strong as Beshe). Anyone else, forget it.

-Died from a hippo attack (Hatari), which happened to be right in front of Kiburi

-Could probably talk to Kiburi if Kiburi wanted/needed to. If so, he would appear as a water spirit

Nge (Scorpion)-Sumu’s straightforward, no nonsense, but otherwise loving mother. Speaking from personal experience, she’s the one who told Sumu that scorpions couldn’t be friends with anyone but each other. Although she loved all of her kids, she wasn’t afraid to smack them with reality if necessary, such as with Sumu wanting to make friends. After a young Sumu failed to do so, she had a little chat with him. The talk was disappointing and hard to hear, but he needed to hear it at the time. And Nge made sure to keep supporting him no matter what

-Nge taught Sumu everything he knows and she means the entire world to him.

-She was taken from Sumu and the rest of her kids by humans while Sumu could only watch in horror. Her last words to him were “If I don’t make it back, take care of yourselves”.

Sumu never saw her again.

-Nge’s theme is “Baby Mine” from Dumbo. If you sing the song, Sumu will burst into tears

-Sumu does eventually see her again and uh…let’s just say it isn’t pretty. To put in bluntly, she’s dead (obviously). Finish the puzzle.

-That being said, Sumu would be able to avenge his mother by stinging the humans who took her

-BUT if she miraculously survived, Sumu would be able to get her out of her little prison and it’d be a heartwarming reunion. She goes back to her little hole and goes her separate way, but not without telling Sumu how proud she is of him no matter if he is good or bad and promising to visit (he still gets to sting the humans tho lol)

“Ah kid, I wish the world was nicer to us scorpions…especially to you.”-Nge to a young Sumu

Voice claim: Wendi Malick (Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House) 

New story idea: When their bosses scold them after messing up a plan AGAIN, Chungu, Cheezi, Goigoi, Tamka, and Nduli set out to prove themselves useful. It isn’t long before each of them are captured by poachers (which they call “two-leggers”) who plan to do god knows what. It’s up to them to try to escape and prove themselves useful to their leaders.

-Said leaders (Jasiri, Janja, Reirei, and Kiburi) learn about their friends being captured and go to rescue them…no matter how dangerous it is

They also feel super guilty about it cuz they each lost their tempers and said something along the lines of “Why can’t you guys do anything right?”

-We get to see how much the henchmen really mean to them

-More character depth on Sumu, as we learn the tragic tale about how he lost his mother (He’s got trauma and it shows)

Sumu comes with the leaders and acts as a bodyguard (It was Jasiri’s idea. She wanted to play it safe cuz nobody’s messing with a scorpion). He claims he’s fine, but his new habit of staring into space whenever humans are mentioned says otherwise

-It has a good ending though! The dumb henchmen manage to escape themselves (while the leaders are distracting the humans) and reunite with everyone
