The Purrgil King, a sizable male purrgil, served as the leader of a purrgil pack. His multicolored appearance, along with his larger size, distinguished him as the group's leader. He formed a bond with Ezra Bridger and rescued him from danger.
The Purrgil King made his debut in the fifteenth episode of Star Wars Rebels' second season. Mel Zwyer directed the episode, which aired on February 10, 2016.
