That night, Shenzi and Banzai lamented how lions ruled over hyenas. ―Shenzi on Simba, after she and her clan drive him from the Pride Lands

Well, he's as good as dead out there anyway. Though Shenzi and Banzai tried to insist that they had been unaware of Simba's relationship to Mufasa, Ed clarified that he had known, which infuriated Mufasa. Just then, Mufasa arrived and fought off the hyenas. Afterward, the hyenas cornered the cubs against a rock wall and mocked Simba for his piteous roar.

At one point, Shenzi nearly caught Nala, but Simba stopped her by clawing her across the face. Shenzi pointed out that Simba was their size, and the hyenas gave chase. Simba and Nala approached, and Simba told the hyenas to pick on someone their own size. They stuffed him into a geyser and watched it erupt, which caused them to burst into laughter. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed corner Simba and Nala in the Elephant Graveyard.Įventually, the hyenas caught up to Zazu and grabbed him by the tail. The three began to plot how they would eat the cubs, during which Simba, Nala, and Zazu managed to escape. Simba then asserted his own title as the future king, but the hyenas were not impressed. Shenzi recognized Zazu as Mufasa's 'little stooge,' and Zazu clarified that he was the king's majordomo. The hyenas approached and remarked that the three were trespassing. Just then, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed echoed his laughter and emerged from within the skull, while Simba hid behind Zazu in fear. However, Simba insisted that he was not afraid and laughed mockingly in front of an elephant skull.

When Simba and his friend, Nala, ventured into the Elephant Graveyard, Zazu attempted to get them to leave. What's the hurry? We'd love you to stick around for dinner. Afterward, the trio walked away, guffawing. The hyenas nearly managed to catch Max, but he escaped down a hole just in time. At the conclusion of his song, they clapped and cheered sarcastically, after which they shoved him aside and launched an attack on his colony. With the meerkat distracted, Shenzi and her cohorts, Banzai and Ed, snuck up behind him. While on sentry duty for his colony, Timon began to dance and sing. Oh, look! It's dinner and a show! ―Shenzi, as Timon dances while on sentry duty She was close friends with two fellow hyenas, Banzai and Ed, as well as a lion named Scar. At some point in her life, she became the leader of her clan. Shenzi lived in the Elephant Graveyard due to her clan's exile from the Pride Lands. This led them to turn on him and devour him alive. Shenzi and her clan supported Scar's claim to the throne, but Scar betrayed them to Simba in an attempt to save his own life. Eventually, a full-grown Simba returned to the Pride Lands to take his place as the rightful king. Under Scar's reign, the hyenas were allowed entry to the Pride Lands, and a severe famine struck the kingdom. Leaving Simba for dead, they reported to Scar and his pride that Simba had perished, and Scar subsequently became the new king of Pride Rock. They attempted to murder Simba as well, but he escaped into the desert. Per Scar's orders, Shenzi and her clan instigated a wildebeest stampede that led to Mufasa's death. They formed a friendship with a member of the royal family named Scar, who recruited them to assist in the murder of his brother, Mufasa, and nephew, Simba. Initially, Shenzi and her clan lived in exile from the Pride Lands.
