Barakus is the second boss of R-Type II, encountered in The Cave and also encountered in R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate.
Barakus
Attack Pattern
Barakus is a large Bydo that attacks primarily by ramming its enemies within the tight confines of the cave. Barakus' weak spot, a glowing eye-like organ at the top of an elongated neck, alternates position above and below when it feels threatened. Two electrical beams emitted from power dischargers on its shoulders connect the creature to the ceiling and will block attacks.

Trivia
- In R-Type Final 2 Barakus' original appearance has been censored in the European and North American regions, this is due to his head resembling a "phallic object". NIS America has stated a message that reads: “Please note that due to differing storefront policies in North America, the final boss within Stage Y1.0 in DLC Set 4 will differ slightly from the original Japanese release.” It will be censored worldwide for PC and Xbox, for Europe PS4 and North America Nintendo Switch. What censorship has modified is the eye and the neck, the tones are blue with many thorns around it, this is to avoid controversy.
