Mowgli the Man-Cub is a minor protagonist in the Kingdom Hearts Unlimited Saga, first appearing in "The Journey" as the primary party-member of the Madhya Pradesh campaign.
A lost man-cub who was raised all his life by the Wolf Tribe due to the death of his parents at the hands of Shere Khan the tiger, Mowgli has grown to love the jungle as it is the only home he knows and wants to stay in it for the rest of his life. However, when Shere Khan returns after a long absence to demand that the boy's life be ended to settle his debt with the wolf tribe lest he destroy everyone in the Jungle with his Darkheart forces, the Jungle Elders are forced to send Mowgli away to the nearby Man-Village, despite his misgivings on the whole idea, so that he may be safe from the tiger's wrath. At first, the Man-Cub absolutely refuses to be part of mankind due to his upbringing, but when the young maiden Shanti becomes lost in the jungle while out on an expedition and they end up catching each other's eye, Mowgli can't help but wonder if maybe he's making the right choice after all in wanting to stay in the Jungle forever despite everyone else, especially the beleaguered panther Bagheera, arguing for him to no do as such.
In the future, Mowgli will inherit Tarzan's title as Lord of Both Worlds, protecting both the Jungles and the Man-Village from whatever dark forces may threaten their safety.
