Normal: "One of Spira's largest flying beasts. It's rumored to have lifted Sin into the air with its mighty talons. Not so sure about that one..."
Oversoul: "Flaps its wings with greater force now that it's oversouled. So much force, in fact, one flap will send your Hi-Potions flying!"

The Rukh is an enemy from Final Fantasy X-2. They are powerful enemies that take a while to kill, and become even more dangerous when in Oversoul, as they can take away up to 75% of a character's max HP in one blow. It is highly recommended to hit them with the most powerful attacks the party has or to simply run. They are always encountered alone.

It is possible to get petrified by a Rukh, so carrying plenty of Softs and Stoneward/Stoneproof accessories just in case might come in handy.
