Kraglin is a fictional alien appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The character, created by Stan Lee, Don Heck and Ernie Hart, appeared in Tales to Astonish #46 (August 1963).
Kraglin is an A-Chilitarian from the planet A-Chiltar III and thus has the appearance of a furry, purple being with multi-faceted eyes. He and his species were defeated by Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Kraglin appears in Guardians of the Galaxy as a member of the Ravagers and is played by Sean Gunn. He is given the full name Kraglin Obfonteri and has a much more human appearance. He is Yondu's first mate and is usually seen accompanying him more often than the other shipmates. He joined Yondu when confronting the Broker over the whereabouts of the orb that Peter Quill had stolen and then later joins the chase at Knowhere when they found him. He, along with Yondu and the Ravagers, help the Guardians battle Ronan on the planet Xandar. In the end Yondu gets the orb, though he later learns that it is a fake, and Kraglin ponders with him whether if it was best that they didn't deliver Quill to his father.
Gunn reprises his role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. James Gunn confirmed that Kraglin would have an expanded role compared to the previous film. During the Ravagers' hunt for the Guardians, he unintentionally caused a mutiny with Taserface leading it against Yondu and his loyalists. He later admitted to his mistake and helped Yondu, Rocket Racoon and Groot escape the mutineers and later assisted the Guardians against their fight with Ego. He was present during Yondu's funeral in which Star-Lord gives him Yondu's signature arrow and becomes part of the Guardians of the Galaxy. In a mid-scene credit, he inadvertently hits Drax with the arrow while practicing how to use it.
