Unlike other known lions in the Pride Lands Scar had a dark orange (deep brown in one painting) coat with a sleek, thick, darker black mane and a light hair tuft on his chin. He had a triangular face and a pale muzzle and underbelly. His eyes were green when he was alive but in the volcano they are white, with a dark scar, running down the left one. As an teenager, his mane was short and reached his chest, but this grew bigger as an adult, stretching to his underbelly. In addition, he gained black tufts on the back of his forelegs. Like all Lion Guard leaders, he possessed the Mark of the Guard, which later faded once the Roar of the Elders was stripped from him. In The Lion Guard Magazine, Scar is shown as a burnt orange lion with a black mane and paler fur on his muzzle, toes, and underbelly. Tufts of black fur are present on the elbows of his arms. The fur on his lower jaw is long, and his nose is black. He has a long muzzle, sharp features, and a thin, pink scar over his left eye. As a fiery disembodied spirit, Scar has dark orange-brown coloring with a yellow nose and markings on his ears and the edge of facial fur. He has pale yellow eyes. His scar is shown as being pure white.
