Mheetu isn't exacrly an official character as he only appears in concept art of the first film, but as he is semi-official, he shall be offered for discussion.
According to the 1995 Laserdisc release, Mheetu was intented into the first movie before its storyline was what it is today and before it was even called The Lion King. Mheetu was a character planned for the version titled The King of the Jungle.
He was supposed to be Nala's little brother born just before Mufasa's death. Scar was supposed to lure Mheetu into the gorge from where Simba was supposed to save him [Mheetu]. Nothing more is known about Mheetu. Only some concept art remains.
Mheetu never made his way into the movie, as he was cut off in early production.
