Mur Daitya
[Bhaagvat Puraan, 10/u8]

Mur Daitya was the guard of Bhaumaasur or Narakaasur's city. Bhaumaasur had taken Aditi's earrings, Indra's Mani Parvat, Varun's Chhatra (royal umbrella), and imprisoned 16,000 princesses, so once Indra came to Krishn to tell this. Krishn rode on His Garud along with Satyabhaamaa and went to Bhaumaasur's capital Praag Jyotish to take all these things back.

Mur Daitya was his guard, so Krishn killed him during this fight. Mur had five heads. Mur Daitya had seven sons - Taamra, Antariksh, Shravan, Vibhaavasu, Vasu, Nabhswaan, and Arun. They got angry on their father's death, they appointed Peeth named Daitya as their army chief and came to fight, but all of them were killed by Krishn.
