Shenzi is a female hyena. She is the leader of a clan of hyenas. Initially, Shenzi and her clan lived in exile from the Pride Lands. 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, the kingdom's reigning monarch, and his heir, Simba. On Scar's orders, Shenzi and her clan instigated a stampede that led to Mufasa's death. The hyenas then made an attempt on Simba's life but failed. However, they reported to Scar and his pride that Simba had died, which allowed Scar to take the throne.
