Personality[]
Although not much is shown of Male Eland, he is shown to be very trusting of the Lion Guard, and grateful for their help. He is somewhat brave, keeping a fairly calm head when in dangerous situations.
It is suggested, however, that he went through a brief period of disliking the Guard, as evidenced by Ono's line of "I don't think they liked us" after they crashed into the eland herd in "Can't Wait to be Queen".
History[]
Can't Wait to be Queen[]
Kiara mentions the eland herd is migrating east along the river as expected, and that several new beehives were spotted along the path. Kiara becomes worried that the bees may sting the eland and send them into chaos. Kion admits he didn't think of that, to which Tiifu responds snarkily that he didn't have to as he is not the Queen. Kion is about to leave, when Kiara asks if the Lion Guard can divert the eland away from the bees nest. The Lion Guard find the bees, and Ono confirms that the eland are on their way. Since his sister couldn't tell him how to handle the situation, as opposed to moving the eland away from the bees as Kiara stated, he believes that the best solution is to move the Bees. This plan backfires, and the bees chase after the Lion Guard, whilst Bunga eats some honey from a fallen beehive. The Lion Guard smash into the eland, creating more chaos.The Wisdom of Kongwe[]
Male Eland and his herd are trapped in a wildfire over at Poromoko Crevasse and become lost in the smoke. When the Lion Guard find them, they they begin to lead the herd out of the area, much to Male Eland's relief.When their path becomes blocked by the blaze, Beshte forms a makeshift bridge to another safe location. Although Male Eland initially displays a little concern at crossing the hastily formed bridge, Ono reminds him of the alternative, prompting Male Eland to realize that the egret is right and promptly leading his herd over the bridge to safety.
