Timon is a meerkat and close friend to Simba; in fact, he and his friend Pumbaa saved Simba from certain death and raised him after the murder of his father, Mufasa. Although appearing cowardly at first glance, Timon is more than willing to step up to the plate when it matters most in Disney Heroes vs Villains, and his humorous antics keep the heroes spirit's up in the darkest of moments.
