Who is Lion Scar?
Scar is a villainous character in the Lion King franchise. He was created in 1989 by screenwriters Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton and was animated by Andreas Deja. The character is obviously partly based on King Claudius of Hamlet and an article of Entertainment Weekly in 1994 states that Scar is also inspired by Adolf Hitler. (Source: Businessinsider)
In Disney’s 1994 film, The Lion King, Scar is the next to take the throne as the ruler of the Pride Lands behind Mufasa until the birth of Mufasa’s son, Simba, changed that. Scar leads an army of hyenas in his plot to murder Mufasa and blame the death on Simba so he can take his place on the throne. He is cruel and violent and will stop at nothing to be king.

To achieve the look of Scar you can start with a full black fur lion suit but if that is not an option you can instead get a pair of black pants, brown shirt, and brown or black shoes and add a pair of fur paw gloves, a fur tail and a full Scar mask which can be found online or in a costume store (look at the list at the top of this article). Add a mean sounding roar and your Scar costume is ready for your next cosplay event, costume party or Halloween.
