Personality: A brutish hyena with a lust to kill. Despises females and wishes they were the inferior sex, not the males, in a hyena pack. Often tries to take charge, and often succeeds as his "mate", Anana is too gentle hearted to speak up.

Bio: Brought up under a "Kill or be killed" enviroment, with the king Ahadi hating the hyenas, his mind was warped into believing that all lions are evil. He forced the pack leader Anana to be his mate and she bore him a pup, Shenzi. Kucha made sure to teach his daughter all about how evil the lions were. One day he saw Shenzi meeting up with King Ahadi's young son, Taka. He warned the cub to get away from his daughter and that next time they met, he wouldn't be so lienient. He hit Shenzi for talking to a lion and disobeying him. Soon afterwards though, Shenzi was seen with the young Taka again. Kucha had no choice now. He slashed the cub across the face, leaving a scar on his eye. Taka ran to his father while Kucha hit Shenzi again. Shenzi ran away to be with her mother, but Kucha was furious. In an attempt to protect her daughter, Anana stood up to Kucha for the first time, and Kucha killed Anana. Ahadi came and killed Kucha. Taka claimed it was Ahadi's fault, that not spending enough time with him caused him to resort to talking with hyenas. It was his fault he was now called Scar.
