Scar (The Lion King)
Scar is a fictional lion and the main antagonist in Disney's ''The Lion King'' franchise. He was created by screenwriters Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton, and animated by Andreas Deja. Scar is introduced in the first film as the ruthless, power-hungry brother of Mufasa, ruler of the Pride Lands.
