Master Uril (Special Cat)

:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemies, see Master Uril (Enemy) and Esoteric Uril (Enemy).
Master Uril is a Special Cat added in Version 9.6. He can be unlocked from the Catnip Challenges after beating Floor 50 of the Heavenly Tower. True Form added in Version 13.0 increases health, damage, range and reduces cooldown time, while granting Behemoth Slayer and Surge Immunity, as well as Strong Against and Curse with the ability to additionally target Aku enemies.

==Strategy/Usage==
Master Uril's main selling point is that he has a high slow uptime, bringing short-ranged Relics like Oldhorn and Sir Rel to a crawl, and his low DPS allows him to be stacked, making him even more effective by paralyzing the vast majority of them so your attackers can burst them down.
Since his surge is disconnected from his main attack, it is possible to use Master Uril as a sniper. He is, however, not recommended for that due to his low DPS for his cost. This somewhat limits his usage to Relic enemies, but he works against most of them and makes a huge difference, unless he can easily be reached by attacks for any reason, usually involving support from Long Distance enemies.
===True Form===
In True Form, Uril gains a wide variety of abilities that dramatically boost his effectiveness. Any stat increments and the range bonus are always good for general use, with the cooldown reduction being a massive boon as he's now easier to replace when lost. While his damage remains very low, his Strong/Curse abilities, alongside his Surge Immunity, greatly improves his matchups against both Relic and Aku threats, as all of them either have a knack of causing status effects or generate devastating surges, both of which he easily dismisses. Lower-ranged ones that rely on raw stats like Aku Gory are also easily slowed to a crawl, making them a much easier target. It's worth mentioning however that Uril lacks the ability to counter enemy shields, so support is still needed to get a clean hit on them.
Behemoth Slayer is perhaps his only questionable ability. Many Behemoths that he could outrange properly are Surge Immune, with the only viable targets being Rangmaster and Folivorean, which, unfortunately, the former is protected by a durable shield and the latter outranging him, and since his value mostly lies in delaying enemies within his target traits, it's only viable for his own defense in general against such threats.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: What seems to be an older cat wearing robes with spiky, protruding hair. His mask is similar to Ururun Wolf's and Masked Yulala's, A.K.A a horned, tribal mask. Beside him is a cockatoo with a mask on, holding a lantern.
* Evolved Form: Identical to the last form, but Uril's mask and the cockatoo's mask now has a cat face on it. The cockatoo is holding a lantern that resembles the Heavenly Tower.
*True Form: Identical to the last form, but now in color.
==Trivia==
*Master Uril is implied to be related to Ururun Wolf and Masked Yulala; all three have white and spiky hair, wear tribal masks and joined the Cat Army on their own volition, and both Uril and Yulala reside in the Heavenly Tower.
**Mystic Uril's description indicates that his grandchild gave him his mask. Since Ururun Wolf wears a similar-looking mask, Ururun is most likely Uril's granddaughter, and since Ururun is implied to be Yulala's daughter, Uril is most likely Yulala's father. Furthermore, Mystic Mask Yulala's Japanese description calls him the head of his clan, and enemy Master Uril's Japanese description says he passed down that same title to his son when he retired.
*Mystic Uril's description makes the first reference to a "demon king" in The Battle Cats, with the second being Possessed by Evil's Japanese name (Possessed by the Demon King) and the third being Sathankhamun VIII's Japanese description ("A Devil created during the plan for the second coming of the great demon king via a mask that sealed magical power.").
** This could potentially refer to Lord of Ruin Jagando, who was "once sealed away by great heroes".
**This could also likely refer to Infernal Tyrant Nyandam, an Aku enemy known as 'Great Demon King' in BCJP.
*Ururun Wolf's, Masked Yulala's, Master Uril's and Urs & Fenrir's Japanese descriptions all start with a quote followed by how they joined the Cat Army, which always includes the word 勝手 (katte, meaning "selfish", "self-serving" or "acting on one's own without asking").
