The Rukh is an enemy from Final Fantasy III, fought on Dragon's Peak. Since it is a flying enemy, it is weak to Wind. They usually appear in pairs, and are rather powerful enemies when first fought, but can be disposed of relatively easily, especially if the party is around level 7 or higher.
They also have a low chance of Petrifying a party member when it attacks them. This has not yet been tested on the NES version, only in the iOS and Nintendo DS versions.
