You're not welcome here. Nut I'll forget that I ever saw you. Long as you hand over your weapons and armor, that is. Refuse, and you won't walk outta here alive.
— Tarba

Tarba (Japanese: バンバ Banba) is a Nohrian highwayman robbing people who approach the entrance to Shiro's Deeprealm, and the capturable boss of paralogue 7 of Fire Emblem Fates. As Shiro flees his Deeprealm, Tarba is lying in wait and demands that Shiro hand over his weapon and armor or else be killed; Corrin's army arrives in time to protect Shiro, ultimately leaving Tarba defeated. As a capturable boss, Tarba can be captured by Orochi or Niles and placed into the My Castle's prison if one is present, then recruited into the player's army as a bonus unit from there.
