Mufasa's majordomo and trusted friend, Zazu is always there when he needs a hand (or is that paw?). He keeps the King informed on the state of the Pride Lands, organizes large events (such as Simba's first birthday), and has even been known to 'cubsit' the heir to the throne.
Zazu could easily be described as stuffy. He harps on protocol, and tries to keep everyone in line. Unfortunatly, not many people seem to take him seriously. Because of this, Zazu ends up at the bottom of a lot of jokes.
Somehow, through it all, he maintains his dignity. And Zazu couldn't be more loyal of a friend.
