'''The Lion King MUCK''' is a [[role-playing]] [[MUCK]] based on the [[The Lion King|movie]], as well as on African wildlife more generally.

The Lion King Muck was founded by [[Joshua C. Templin]], and originally was based on his fan fiction ''[[The Tales of Tanabi]]''. The storyline has shifted a number of times in the years since, with more than one reset of the Feature Characters from the movie.

This textual roleplaying environment has rather a high population of [[Lion]]s (as might be expected) including three official Kings and Prides. [[Leopard]]s (as well as their melanistic individuals, listed as [[Panther]]s) are also common, as are [[Cheetah]]s, [[Hyena]]s and the humble [[Meerkat]]. There's also a pretty good sprinkling of less common [[species]], such as [[Civet]]s, [[Raven]]s, and [[Serval (species)|Serval]]s.

== Social groups ==

There have been a great many In Character social groupings on The Lion King MUCK, which have formed, faded, and/or been revived over the years. The most prominent of these have been the prides. There are officially three prides as of March 2006:
* [[Natamba]], led by Tahzhoo, living in the Uzima Valley
* Tsavo-Prideland, led by Mtukutu with his queen Hamaki, living in the Pridelands
* [[Utatu]], led by Mtunga, living in the Utatu lands

There are also two official [[Hyena]] clans:
* Kisasa, led by the matriarch Kora'no
* Sumu, led by the matriarch [[User:SpazKitty|Inda]]

In addition, there have been groups particular to other species, or formed of more than one species. (Prides usually have non-lion allies or member as well.) Some of these include:
* The [[Shekwon pack]] of Ethiopian wolves

Some of the past prides and other groups include:
* The [[Bloodclaw]]
* The [[Zari Bara Pride]], a precursor to the Natamba
* The Kopje Valley Pride
* The Celestial Volcano Pride
* A number of incarnations of the Pride Rock Pride
