Turks:Rude is a recurring boss in Final Fantasy VII, who can be fought a maximum of four times. Only the third possible fight is a required part of the storyline. The player can choose to avoid the locations of the possible first and second battles and can refuse to fight the fourth. Rude is often accompanied by Reno, and at one point fights alongside Elena. Rude fights without a weapon, opting to use bare fists to pummel his opponents. When fought in Gongaga and Sector 8, it is possible to get a preemptive attack on the Turks because there are random battles in the room they are fought in.
