An '''Ultra''' (also known as '''Boss''' in ''[[Destiny 2]]'') is the most powerful type of enemy in the ''[[Destiny]]'' series due to their high damage and health values. They can be identified by the way their health bar is displayed: shown as a giant yellow bar with a skull next to it in ''Destiny'', or a skull symbol integrated into the bar in ''Destiny 2''. They may have health bars displayed on the bottom of the screen instead of being on top of them. They are often large sized, sometimes simply an enlarged version of the kind's [[Major]] look, but often sporting unique designs. 

==Gameplay==
Ultras serve as bosses, and are thus often the focal enemies in an activity. They appear in [[Story]] missions, [[Dungeon]]s, [[Strike]]s, and [[Raid]]s; rarely will they appear during [[Patrol]], usually as part of a [[World Event]]. Ultras at the end of activities often have unique attacks, defenses, or mechanics related to their battle, generally increasing in number the more complex the activity is meant to be. Some very rare enemies only appear as Ultras.
All Ultra generally share the following characteristics:
*Area-of-Effect melee attack (if large sized). 
*Heavy ranged attack (from their equipped weapon). 
*Summon Reinforcements. 
*Rapid Movement. 
*Immunity to [[Arc#Verbs|blind]], [[Void#Verbs|suppression]], [[Stasis#Verbs|freeze]] and [[Strand#Verbs|suspend]] effects. 
**Ultras shatter shortly after being frozen and take snap damage after being suspended. 
*Immunity to [[Finisher]]s (with the exception of [[Lightbearer Knight|Light]][[Lightbearer Wizard|bearer]] [[Lightbearer Acolyte|Hive]]).

==Trivia==
*In [[Destiny]], most Ultras have a unique death animation where they burst into flames and burn away until there is nothing left. This trait is not carried over to [[Destiny 2]] and most enemies leave behind their corpses with some exceptions who still have this trait like the [[Crystalline Captain]].
**Some Destiny Ultras also do not have this trait such as [[Sepiks Prime]], [[Kolar, Psion Flayer|the]] [[Vatch, Psion Flayer|Psion]] [[Numoc, Psion Flayer|Flayers]], and all [[Raid]] bosses after [[Crota's End]].
*[[Guardian]]s can time a melee right after an Ultra uses their smash attack to negate the knockback. However this does not negate the damage and can be risky, but with good health regeneration or damage negation, it can prove a useful tool.
