Lurg, the Burning Shield was a unique Ultra Phalanx that appeared in the Io Flashpoint.

Gameplay

Lurg would periodically be stationed at The Rupture with a crew of Legionaries and Incendiors, though he could always call for more reinfocements. Unusual among Phalanx units, Lurg was armed with a Cabal Bronto Cannon, a powerful Cabal weapon that can bring down half of a Guardian's shield with one shot. Lurg was also equipped with a shield that grants him full frontal protection, which could expand to form a wide barrier to provide cover for his crew, though he would not hesitate to use the shield as a melee weapon if cornered. He was infamous for his substantially high health count, making him an adamant target, and given the fact that he could easily reposition himself with his jump jets, it took a lot of concentrated firepower to kill him. Attacking Lurg with other nearby Guardians usually helped with this.
