In the "Lion King" prequel story, Mufasa is depicted as an orphaned cub who is adopted by Taka (later known as Scar) and his pride after a devastating flood separates him from his family, essentially making Taka his adoptive brother; this allows Mufasa to grow up within the Pride Lands and eventually become the rightful king despite not being born into the ruling pride.
Key points about Mufasa's adoption:
Tragic event:
Mufasa loses his parents during a flood, leaving him alone and vulnerable.
Taka's intervention:
Taka, a lion from a different pride, finds Mufasa and takes him in, providing him with a new family.
Brotherly bond:
Despite not being blood related, Mufasa and Taka develop a close bond, which later becomes strained as Taka's jealousy grows.
Rise to power:
Due to his noble character and leadership qualities, Mufasa eventually becomes the king of the Pride Lands, even though he wasn't born into the ruling family.
