One eye is an evil leopard that appears in the book series "Hakuna Matata"
Akril posted a thread with a link to those books in "beyond the lion king" if you want to see.

This is One-eye:


There are some more pics, he appears in the story "Monkey Mountain" and he has only one eye. He kinda reminds me of another villain with a scar....

I read the story it was the first time I saw it too. Is that hyena he is with, is that Banzai?

Thanks, but Lil_Cheetah really deserves the credit. She scanned and posted a link to all these images; all I did was pass the link on.

And yes, One-Eye is a lot like Scar. In the story he appears in, he is part of a ragtag pack of hyenas, hunting dogs and jackals, all of which have a physical handicap of some kind which would make it impossible for them to survive alone. One-Eye secretly depends on them to help him hunt, since the sight in his one good eye is deteriorating. He also got his scar from a warthog.

In a way, I felt sorry for One-Eye. While Scar wanted power and Zira wanted revenge, all One-Eye wanted was to survive. : (

As the story said, that hyena is named Shriek. He is the only member of One-Eye's pack that is named.

wow he looks so awesome xD i love his design xD

[thanigraphics]

thanks for the information, that sure is a sad story. I thought he was a bad guy, but I guess he just has a sad way trying to survive.

Wow cool design! He looks like Scar! Could someone tell me what he did in the book? Sorry, I just can't get motivated >.<

[thanigraphics]

yeah I didn´t really read the book either, just checking out some pics (there are way more new characters in it) but he seems to be evil in some way? Akril do you know what he did in the book?

Okay...this is just from memory, I'm a bit too busy to look up the story at the moment:

One of the vultures of One-Eye's "pack" notices young Simba, Timon and Pumbaa (who is limping because of a hurt leg), and tells One-Eye about them. One-Eye decides to hunt them down with the help of his pack, and conceals himself in some tall grass while the jackals and hunting dogs herd the trio closer to him so he can pounce on them. Fortunately, Simba, Timon and Pumbaa manage to escape the pack, but the only place they can flee to is the eerie Monkey Mountain, a mountain shaped like a monkey's head, with a cavern forming a huge mouth. Strange, loud noises have often been heard coming from the cave, and many animals are afraid to go near it.

One-Eye and the pack chase them up the mountain, then Simba goes on ahead while Timon and Pumbaa stay behind to fight the pack off. Simba finds a monkey inside the cave, whose shrieks are greatly amplified by the shape of the cave. Simba then gets an idea. A little later, Timon, Pumbaa, One-Eye and the pack suddenly hear a tremendous roar coming from inside the cave. The pack scatters in terror and One-Eye leaps from the mountain and slinks away, alive but powerless. As it turns out, the roar was just Simba's roar amplified by the cave.

EDIT: Oh, and here's the story where One-Eye appears.

Oh, interesting story! Poor guy, you mean his eye is no more?
