Role in the episode[]
Muviro is a warrior from the Waziri tribe. He is hostile to outsiders (especially Tarzan and his allies) and has been envious of Basuli for achieving everything he himself could not. When Tarzan accompanies Basuli on his quest to retrieve an eagle's feather before sundown, the two encounter hindrances along the way. A tree falls into the river they are crossing, a stampede of rhinos chases them, and a rockslide starts just as they enter a boneyard. Tarzan spots Muviro just as he is about to push another rock off the mountainside, and wrestles with him. When Basuli demands an explanation, Muviro confesses his jealousy of remaining in Basuli's shadow and reveals his plot to claim Basuli's place as chieftain and to be betrothed to Naoh. Tarzan and Basuli find out Muviro is the one responsible for all the incidents they encountered. Basuli fights Muviro one on one and both go over the edge of a cliff. Muviro's grasp slips, but Tarzan swoops down and saves him before he plummets to certain doom. Basuli exiles Muviro from the tribe for his treacherous actions - a fate worse than death.
