Template:DisneyChar Nuka is a fictional character featured in the 1998 Disney direct-to-video film The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the sequel to 1994's popular The Lion King. He was voiced by Andy Dick. Considering the The Lion King II is based on Romeo and Juliet, he is likely based on Tybalt, who is also ambitious and a prominent supporter of a family rivalry.

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

Nuka is the eldest son of Zira, brother to Vitani and Kovu. His father is not explicitly mentioned, but the film strongly hints it was Scar, due to the brotherhood Scar shared with Mufasa is similar to his brotherhood to Kovu. His physical appearance is strikingly different from Zira and his assumed father however, with messy fur, exaggerated features and a lack of dignity.

He constantly tries to please his mother, and is very jealous of Kovu's position as Scar's heir. Nuka carries out what Zira commands along with his sister Vitani. He eventually dies after being crushed to death by some logs while pursuing Simba up a cliff in an attempt to get Zira's attention. Zira blames Kovu for Nuka's death and slashes him across the face, leaving him with a facial wound identical to Scar's. The film hints whereas as Scar was evil and angered by Mufasa's kingship and Simba's passage to the throne, Nuka has the same feeling to Kovu but in a more dim-witted fashion. Template:Endspoiler
