Here is my fanon take on Bhati, a Lion King character who was cut from the film during production. Based their design on some concept art they were in.

In my fanon Sukalaverse, Bhati never met Simba, but befriended Nala during Scar's reign and temporarily took Zazu's position as majordomo while he was "ribcaged", forced to be the king's entertainer. They're a wisecracking troublemaker that the hyenas absolutely loathe.

Sooo, I don't think you need to ask what my new headcanon is about their identity. Maybe I'll do more with them in the future.
