[edit] The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
Nuka is the eldest son of Zira, brother to Vitani and half-brother to Kovu. His father is not explicitly mentioned, but the film strongly hints it was Scar. Nuka is often mistakenly thought of as unintelligent and dim-witted. He constantly tries to please his mother, and is very jealous of Kovu's position as Scar's heir. Nuka carries out what Zira commands along with his sister Vitani. He eventually dies after being crushed to death by some logs while pursuing Simba up a cliff in an attempt to get Zira's attention. Zira blames Kovu for Nuka's death and slashes him across the face, leaving him with a facial wound identical to Scar's.
