Mufasa is an exceptionally large and muscular lion, bearing powerful shoulders and a compact build. He has golden fur, with a beige muzzle, paws, and underbelly. His upper eye shades are darker than his main pelt, the lower eye shades are lighter, and his eyebrows are thick and black. Mufasa bears a thick mane of dark scarlet that extends down to his middle chest, and the tip of his tail matches it in color.
He was voiced by James Earl Jones who was also the only reprising role in the 2019 remake of The Lion King. He is also known as the original voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars Trilogy. In Swahili, "Mufasa" means "King".
