Scar survives but is cornered by the vengeful hyenas, who attack and kill him for his attempted betrayal, ending his threat to Simba and his family for good.
A terrified Scar tries to explain himself, but the hyenas refuse to listen to him as they are fed up with his broken promises of never going hungry again, also realizing that Scar was only using the hyenas for his own gain. Giving in to their hunger, the angry hyenas devour Scar alive as the fire sweeps over them.
If they did survive, that means that they would likely have to have left the body. Hyenas are opportunistic hunters, so a large clan with as many numbers as there was would've left very little of Scar within the short time it took for them to maul him. Assuming they left, Scar's remains would have been left to burn.
A lot of the time the consumption of a rival is an act of dominance, particularly among lions." Addressing a scene in which Scar talks to - what looks like - a lion's skull, the investigator has self-confirmed that Scar did in fact eat Mufasa after he died.
Though the venom in his scar may have influenced his evil nature, Scar was already proven to be envious and power-hungry before being infected as he was willing to work with another lion to overthrow Mufasa as king due to his jealousy.
After Mufasa mocked his injury, giving him the nickname "Scar" rather than praising him, an outraged Scar plotted to overthrow him, only to murder his Lion Guard in a blind rage, and lose both his position and power after using the latter for evil.
Scar's manipulative and deceitful nature, as well as his willingness to harm others to achieve his goals, align him with traditional villainous traits. However, some interpretations of Scar suggest that he is also a complex character who may be driven by feelings of inadequacy or resentment towards his brother Mufasa.
If Mufasa had survived the stampede and realized Scar was behind it, he probably would have banished Scar, and it would have been a painful life lesson about treacherous family members, both for Simba and arguably for Mufasa.
It's pretty obvious that it's Mufasa, as Scar even admits in the opening that he got the brains while Mufasa got the brawn. It's why Scar had to trick his way to the throne instead of attempting to win the right to rule through combat.
After Mufasa's fall, Scar convinced Simba that he was to blame for the death, after which he drove the cub into self-exile. With Mufasa and Simba purportedly dead, Scar became the new king of Pride Rock. Under his reign, he allowed the hyenas to invade the Pride Lands, and the kingdom slowly fell into ruin.
In the Lion King universe, Scar's real name is Taka. This name was revealed in the book series 'The Lion King: Six New Adventures'. However, after receiving a scar from a cape buffalo, he became known as 'Scar'.
In The Lion Guard, the strange lion lures Askari into a trap where he is attacked by a cobra. The snake bites Askari on the eye, leaving the scar that would become his namesake. But the cobra leaves more than that. The venom from the bite infects Scar, making him crueler and more bitter.
As punishment for using the Roar of the Elders for evil, Scar became weakened by this misdeed and lost the ability to use the Roar forever, making him shriveled and horrible.
Originally Answered: In the Lion King, did Scar get his name before or after his scar? Scar's real name is Taka. He got the name Scar after plotting to become king over Mufasa. His plot backfired A water buffalo attacked him instead of Mufasa and hit him with its horn Leaving a scar.
Scar was jealous of Mufasa, and wanted to be king himself. However, with Simba next in line for the throne, Scar would need to eliminate him in order to ensure his own succession. But first, Scar would need to kill Mufasa, which he did by throwing him from the side of a cliff into a stampede of wildebeests.
Mufasa's death is the most graphic death ever shown in Disney history. Trampled to death by an entire herd of wildebeests after falling from the gorge. But what if the wildebeests didn't run wildly and become scared of the hyenas? Would the story have been different?
Scar is easily among the worst siblings in Disney history considering he killed his own brother, although he is a contender for one of the smartest villains as well. The hyenas were skeptical if Scar could pull off his scheming under Mufasa's nose and that's exactly what he did.
And while that doesn't entirely take lion-on-lion feasting out of the picture, it makes it far more likely that Mufasa's body was devoured by carrion feeders and scavengers. Like hyenas. Screen text in Jordan's TikTok states that “hyenas don't usually eat lions,” but this isn't exactly true.
Scar (Prince Taka) was the younger brother of Mufasa and second-born son of King Ahadi and Queen Uru. As such, Mufasa was next in line to become King of Pride Rock. Because of this, Scar became bitter and jealous of Mufasa and tried to kill him BEFORE Simba was born.
Scar was the second-born in his and Mufasa's pride, which meant Mufasa always had first claim to the throne. Scar's jealousy, rage, and indignation certainly make sense when the circumstances of their rule are completely out of his control.
As an adult, he discovered the Roar of the Elders at Cikha Escarpment, where he trained relentlessly to master its powers. Due to his prowess with the Roar, Askari became the leader of the first Lion Guard and assembled a team of the Bravest, Fastest, Keenest of Sight, and Strongest lions in the Pride Lands.
