King Mulu

King Mulu is a fictional character in Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was a vassal under the Nanman chieftain Meng Huo, and was the lord of the Bana Cave (八納洞). Mulu appeared in the chapter about Zhuge Liang's southern campaign to suppress the Nanman rebellion. He was known to possess the magical ability to control the weather and direct wild animals into battle. His army initially defeated the Shu Han forces but was eventually overcome, when his animals were scared away by Zhuge Liang's flame-spewing wooden beasts. The elephant that Mulu was riding on threw him off its back in fright and trampled him to death.

Famous quotes containing the word king:

    The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the world, the King the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced mighty and merciless Kings from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same to acknowledge one supremacy.
    Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–59 B.C.)
