| “ | That is not Kion. It's Nala's father, Kion's grandfather, when he was a cub. And you did not watch the whole thing. Kion's grandfather did fall from a big branch. But he was saved by the Lion Guard of his day. | ” |
–Rafiki, Paintings and Predictions | ||
Nala’s Father is the father of Nala, the father-in-law of Simba, and the maternal grandfather of Kiara and Kion.
He is mentioned, and appears in a cave painting in Paintings and Predictions.
Appearance[]
Nala's Father compared to his grandson, Kion
Though only shown in one of Rafiki's painting as a cub, Nala's father had golden fur with light yellow paws and underbelly, a white chin and a red tuft of hair on his head and a tuft of red hair on the tip of his tail.
His appearance in this painting bears a striking resemblance to Rafiki's paintings of his grandson Kion.
History[]
Prior to The Lion Guard[]
Sometime during his childhood, Nala's father fell down from a tree branch, but was rescued by the Lion Guard of his time.
Upon reaching adulthood, he met Sarafina, fell in love with her and together they had a daughter, named Nala. What happened to him after this is unknown.
