Murglun the Lava Dragon is a premium hero in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, introduced with the Frozen Nightmare Mini-Campaign. Murglun costs $5.99 and starts at Level 5. On Steam, he is unlocked at stage 22.
Description
Inhabiting the bowels of the Earth, the millennial Murglun is a young members of the imposing race of magma dragons. She has inscrutable motivations and was never interested in the mortal conflicts, until Vez'nan managed to manipulate her with the gem of the heart of a volcano.
Magma Dragons never had an interest in mortal conflicts, the petty humans and their affairs were insignificant, their mortal lives shorter than a sigh and mostly spent on foolish conflicts.
Murglun, even at her young age, knew this; she lived with her kin in the bowels of the earth, where the lava rivers kept her warm and the conflicts and power struggles of the surface were meaningless.
From the moment Vez'nan knew these creatures existed, he knew he needed them to tilt the fate of the battle to his side. He forged a plan to control them, he knew these creatures were mystically connected to the volcano heart gems, and searched far and wide until he got a hold of one.
Now Murglun has to obey his command and use her fire powers to scorch the heart of his foes until this battle is won and she can return to her lair.

Tips and Tricks
Murglun has arguably the highest damage output in of all the heroes, dealing powerful aoe True damage in addition to buffing the damage of nearby towers. Her lava blood ability allows her to damage enemies right underneath her, something flying heroes normally cannot do. keep in mind however, that while her damage output is excellent, unlike Beresad and Eiskalt she has no crowd control whatsoever.
Murglun's ultimate ability is a powerful tool to immediately insta-kill troublesome enemies, especially if they are clomped together. it takes a second for the rocks to fall, so if the targeted enemy is moving it may be necessary to lead the ability just a smidge.
Being a flying hero, Murglun Cannot be used to block enemies.
