Lanaru the Mad
Overview
Lanaru the Mad is a Rularuu Archvillain. Heroes can find him at the end of Faathim the Kind's Task Force: The Saga of Lanaru.
Description
The demented consciousness of Lanaru the Mad is so twisted by rage that it has wrenched itself free of Rularuu. His psychic instability has manifested as a permanent storm that surrounds his castle and himself.

It helps to have a full 8 to finish it, Lanaru is the meanest toughest AV on the game. Tankers, DeBuffers, and anybody with a -regen power will rock the Storm Palace.
Lanaru is surrounded by two rings of enemies - an outer ring of elementals, and an inner ring of rularuu. Clear the outer ring with aggroing anyone else (easy enough), then have Lanaru tanked while you clear the inner ring.
Lanaru himself has storm powers - Hurricane, Freezing Rain, Lightning Storm, that sort of thing. On top of that, he can summon Storm Elementals which can do serious auto-hit damage (fun for the defence-based powersets in your team). However, as long as you can stand up to this, he actually goes down pretty easily. I recommend blasters, defenders and controllers stay at maximum range and attack while the tank tanks and the scrappers divide their time between the AV and the elementals when they appear. Ice tanks and SR scrappers may want to use this time to make a cup of tea.
His attacks that stun everyone are directed at the ground only. If the melee types are attacking him from his waist up and everyone else is "flying high" or out of range he is much easier to beat
