Rafiki

“You follow ol' Rafiki, he knows the way!”
―Rafiki
Rafiki is a supporting character in Disney's 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. He is a mandrill who serves as a shamanistic figure in the Pride Lands. Rafiki has an eccentricity that paints him as something of a lunatic; in truth, he is a sage with a deep connection to magical and spiritual elements. With his bakora stick always on his person, Rafiki uses his wisdom to guide those in need, most notably Simba.
