{{Nihongo|'''Tarkus'''|タルカス|Tarukasu}} is a [[:Category:Secondary AntagonistAntagonists|secondary antagonist]] featured in the first part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.

After taking residence in [[Windknight's Lot]] following his transition into a vampire, Dio resurrects Bruford and Tarkus as his [[zombie]] enforcers to exploit their hatred against the world, pitting them against [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]], [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]. While Bruford fights Jonathan, Tarkus prevents Zeppeli and Speedwagon from interfering in the fight. However, following Bruford's defeat, Tarkus desecrates his remains, calling him a mockery of the 77 Rings winners. Tarkus violently kicks the remains of Bruford's armor, turning its pieces into a dangerous hail of metal that wounds Zeppeli. Two bullies drag [[Poco]] into the graveyard to take revenge on him for his tall tales, only to run away upon catching sight of Tarkus; Tarkus nearly grabs Poco, but Jonathan saves him. Tarkus slices the ground with his sword, cutting through the cliff and isolating the heroes upon the knights' former training grounds. He then catches the two bullies and squeezes the blood out of them to drink it. Tarkus rushes to attack again, but Jonathan and Zeppeli use the [[Ripple]] to create a hang-glider from the nearby leaves. Though Tarkus jumps onto the glider, the group jumps from the glider as it plummets into a stone wall. Tarkus's durability allows him to survive the fall, convincing Zeppeli that the zombie is a loose end they cannot ignore.

Jonathan enters the building to find a place where [[Poco]] can hide safely, only to be caught in the Chamber of the Two-Headed Dragon, where Tarkus engages Jonathan in a Chain Neck Deathmatch. Poco sneaks in and successfully unlocks the door, despite taking a kick from Tarkus. Zeppeli prepares to fight Tarkus, but the zombie leaps into the air. Tarkus wraps Zeppeli in his chain before pulling it tighter, tearing the Ripple master in half and snapping Jonathan's neck. Although Tarkus presumes the two dead, Zeppeli transfers all his remaining Ripple into Jonathan's body. Empowered and healed by the sudden surge of Ripple, Jonathan shatters his collar and slices through Tarkus's arm. Though Tarkus spits his fangs into Jonathan's eye, Jonathan easily kills Tarkus with a barrage of Ripple-infused punches.
