Murglun

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, she is unlocked at stage 22.
==Description==
Inhabiting the bowels of the Earth, the millennial Murglun is a young member of the imposing race of magma dragons. And even though she is young, she still very quickly received the title of "the strongest trending dragoness". 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.
Already in her youth Murglun displayed incredible powers and miraculous abilities. She fought against many enemies as strong as they were, and she defeated them all. There are also those who tend to think that she is the most powerful dragoness who ever lived.
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. At least for her powerful race of dragons, who of course live forever.
From the moment Vez'nan knew about Murglun's tremendous power, he knew he needed it to tip his close favor to his side and defeat Linirea and King Denas. He forged a plan to control Ba, he knew these creatures were mystically connected to the volcano heart gems, and searched far and wide until he got 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 is definitely one of the most powerful non-heroines in the Kingdom Rush game series.
Murglun has arguably the highest damage output of all the heroes in the game, dealing large amounts of true area 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 is the only Dragon Hero that has Armor, and she is also the only Dragon Hero that can hit Ghosts. which are enemies that other dragon heroes like Beresad or Eiskalt are powerless against.
Murglun's Ultimate Spell is definitely one of, if not the most powerful Ultimate Spell in the entire Kingdom Rush series of games.
Volcanic Barrage is definitely the strongest instant kill power available to the hero. (You can also call it "Mini Fat Boy"). This Ultimate Spell is capable of killing any type of enemy and there is also no limit to the number of enemies it can kill in each hit, as long as they are standing close to each other. In addition to the fact that this power can take bosses off up to half their health, something no other hero power in the game can do.
Being a flying hero, Murglun Cannot be used to block enemies.
