Disney Dreamlight Valley Fan Points Out Disturbing Request From Pumbaa

Key Takeaways

  • Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s Jungle Getaway update added Timon and Pumbaa to the game, with the latter making a creepy request.
  • Fans have been spooked by an unsettling gift request from Pumbaa in Disney Dreamlight Valley, which saw him asking for Pulled Pork, hinting at cannibalism.

As a longtime fan of Disney and its enchanting world, I must say that the recent turn of events in Dreamlight Valley left me quite unsettled. The arrival of Timon and Pumbaa was highly anticipated, but the creepy gift request from the warthog has taken the jovial atmosphere of the game to a rather dark place.


Some players of Disney Dreamlight Valley have recently been receiving quite unsettling gift requests from Pumbaa. Although Halloween celebrations are arriving a bit later than many fans anticipated within Disney Dreamlight Valley, these unusual requests seem to hint at a darker side in the usually cheerful warthog that might not be so jolly after all.

The Disney Dreamlight Valley game rolled out its major Jungle Getaway update on October 9. This free update introduced Timon and Pumbaa to the cast of characters in the game, joining Simba, Nala, and Scar from The Lion King. Apart from a new rock music-themed Star Path and some enhancements for better gameplay experience, these beloved characters from the 1994 animated film have captured the attention, with fans anticipating their arrival for over a year.

Some players found their carefree attitude disrupted when they encountered a Favorite Things of the Day request from Pumbaa, the warthog character in Disney Dreamlight Valley, due to its potential association with cannibalism. In this game, giving gifts is an effective method to forge friendships, and players have access to each character’s wish list of three favorite items that rotate daily. Many players on Reddit have mentioned encountering Pumbaa’s requests that include Pulled Pork, a dish made from a species that shares close ties with the friendly warthog.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Pumbaa Makes a Horrific Gift Request

Some players have pointed out that warthogs are classified as omnivores and have been known to feed on animal carcasses. However, in reality, warthogs are not hunters and only tend to feed on carrion during droughts or times of famine, generally preferring a diet that mainly consists of plants, many of which they pull from the ground using their tusks. They’re also known to eat slimy-yet-satisfying insects and worms, much like the beloved Disney character is shown to do in the movies, and a desire to cook and eat their fellow members of the pig family certainly isn’t commonplace for them.

Though it’s evident that the creators of the game didn’t intend for a warthog character to ask players to cook his family as food, there’s an unsettling aspect to this demand that aligns with the overall spooky atmosphere of the season. Some players were disheartened when the Jungle Getaway update lacked any special content related to Halloween. Typically, the game’s valley transforms for Halloween celebrations every October, but it was not included in Jungle Getaway. However, expect the valley to be adorned with Halloween decor once again in 2024 during the third Trick-or-Treat event starting October 23rd in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
