The Lair of the Lion Guard

"Hidden within Pride Rock, in the lair of the Lion Guard... A new legend awaits."

- Rafiki, Return of the Roar

The Lair of the Lion Guard is an area hidden within Pride Rock. From what has been shown, it contains images of all the existing Lion Guards in existence, including Kion and Scar. It is an area designed specifically for members only, with many cave paintings decorating the lair, with some foliage growing around it. A small shaft of light peers down from outside.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
Rafiki reveals the lair to Simba after the pair hear Kion roar. The two then lead Kion and Bunga inside, and Simba reveals to Kion his new job as the leader of the Lion Guard after explaining how his great uncle Scar lost his Roar of the Elders.

The Rise of Makuu
After Kion and the Lion Guard witness Makuu's win over Pua in the Mashindano, they return to the lair to relax, whilst Ono attempts to cure Bunga of his stench problem. Not long after, Kiara arrives to let them know of some strange goings on in the Pride Lands. The crew exit to find out the problem.

Later, they return to the lair, whilst waiting for Kion to come back after speaking with his grandfather. Kion tells everyone that if Makuu wants a fight, then he needs to know that the Lion Guard can bring him one. Only Kion hopes that a demonstration will be all that is needed. Beshte mentions that the Grove of Trees near the Big Springs has no one living there, and that he could use it there. The guard leave to put his plan in action.

Can't Wait to be Queen
The rest of the Lion Guard is resting in the lair until Kion calls them to help Kiara, who had left the Pride Lands and unknowingly fallen into a trap of Janja's.

Eye of the Beholder
The Guard finds Rafiki in the Lair, where they alert him of the fact that Ono is injured. After Rafiki tends to their friend, the Guard notices paintings on the wall. Rafiki explains that all of the past Lion Guards are painted on the cave wall, and that on that particular day, he was adding their story. Rafiki works on the painting until he perfects it.
