Information

We both have a score to settle with the Lion Guard. I'm following them to the Tree of Life. Join me. Together, we'll get revenge on the Lion Guard... and so much more.

Makucha to Chuluun, Ghost of the Mountain

Makucha's Army, also known as the Army of Predators is an army of evil animals led by both Makucha and Mama Binturong. Their goal was to get revenge on Lion Guard and the Night Pride and go to the Tree of Life to kill and eat every rare, exotic, weak, injured, and sick animal inhabitants living there. They are the main antagonistic of Season 3, and the final antagonists of the series. The army was originally founded by Makucha until he is upstaged by a vengeful Mama Binturong. In a final attempt to take over the Tree of Life, they are defeated and exiled, ending their terror once and for all.

As soon as they arrive at the passage to the Tree of Life, Makucha, Chuluun, and Ora begin to squabble over who's in charge. After three unsuccessful attacks, however, Mama Binturong, whom the Lion Guard previously met and battled on their journey, arrives to assume command.

Later, she hatches a plan to have Makucha, Chuluun, and Ora infiltrate the Tree of Life at dawn when the Night Pride is tired and finishing their patrols. Mama would act as a decoy calling for help on the other side of the Tree of Life which would distract the teams while Makucha's army

would attack Queen Janna unencumbered. The plan backfires when Ono notices her slip-ups, and Anga sees from a distance that she's in no danger. Mama tries to get revenge on Bunga, but he easily repels her and reveals her identity to the Night Pride.

The Lion Guard and Night Pride force Makucha's army to leave once again.

them from entering the Tree of Life. Wanting to give her cubs a chance to escape, the mother tells them to go on without her before pouncing on Makucha. Mama Binturong orders Chuluun to go after the fleeing cubs as the tigress faces off against Makucha and Ora. The army gets defeated again.

The Lake of Reflection[]

Inside the mountain pass, Makucha's Army s once again confronted by the Night Pride. The Lion Guard soon comes to help them Rani instructs the Lion Guard to handle Ora while the Night Pride fights the leopards, leaving Mama Binturong to Anga and Ono. Under Rani's command, the Army is beaten and kicked out of the pass. Outside, Mama Binturong tells the Army what she has learned, claiming they have the perfect opportunity to attack.

As both groups engage each other, a tired Beshte is bitten by Ora, leaving him paralyzed.

Triumph of the Roar[]

Triumph-of-the-Roar (180)

Makucha's Army is ready

The army of predators attacks a herd of mountain goat at sunrise. Whilst the Night Pride is too exhausted to fight, the Lion Guard rush into battle. The army is swiftly defeated thanks to Kion's leadership skills, and Mama Binturong orders the army to retreat.

At the mountain pass, Makucha, Chuluun, and Ora are frustrated with another failed attempt, and are just about ready to give up, however Mama Binturong refuses to let their enemies win. She soon calls in her porcupine henchman Smun, who later reveals that during the villains' attacks at the Tree of Life, he, under Mama's orders had travelled to Makucha, Mama Binturong and Ora's old territories and lead all of their allies to the Tree of Life. Mama Binturong then announces that the villains will soon have their revenge upon the Night Pride and the Lion Guard and will claim the Tree of Life as their own.

The villains storm the mountain pass, and are noticed by Ullu. Before she can warn the Night Pride, Mama Binturong and her porcupines hold her prisoner in order to stop her from warning the Night Pride and ruining her plans. Fortunately, Ullu scares the porcupines away by turning her head all the way around, giving her time to escape and warn the pride (sans Rani). Meanwhile the Lion Guard also catch wind of the attack and rush towards the battle scene.

The Night Pride make it to the Tree of Life, however the villains push a boulder in front of the Tree of Life, blocking the entrance and trapping the pride and Makini within. With their enemies immobilized defeated, the army of predators terrorize the animals of the lands, whilst Mama Binturong hangs from above one of the tree's branches, laughing maniacally as she declares the army's victory over the Tree of Life.

The Lion Guard see this attack and rush to battle Makucha's army, despite the odds. Eventually, the battle ends up in the Guard's favor when Anga retrieves Kion, Bunga, and Rani for the final fight.

Kion, who has fully mastered the Roar of the Elders uses the Roar to overpower Makucha's army as well as destroy the rock encasing the Night Pride and Makini in the Tree of Life. Once the Night Pride and Makini are rescued and the villains are defeated, Kion exiles Makucha, Chuluun, Ora, Mama Binturong and their allies from the Tree of Life by using the Roar to create a whirlwind that blasts the villains far, far away from the Tree, where they are never to be heard again.

Journey to the Pride Lands[]

Beshte mentions Makucha's army being defeated when he and the Lion Guard approach him, ready to return home to the Pride Lands.

Trivia[]

  • This is the third group of different animal species. The first one was the Lion Guard, which lasted until the end of the series, and the second one was the disbanded Army of Scar. Unlike those groups, this is the only one that remained together and never disbanded.
  • This is also the only one who's fate is unknown.
  • The army is also referred to as "Army of Predators." However, Smun and his prickle would not count, porcupines are herbivores, and therefore, would not be hunters.
