He's not a final boss, he's a post final boss, the final boss was gogmazios. Rusted kusha is allowed to be as hard as he wants so to show people the true power of elder dragons. I remember a thread on gameFAQs where people were pitting all the old elder dragons against Alatreon, and people were making Alatreon out to be ten times more powerful than anything else (except fatalis), the truth is that while alatreon is strong, he's not the only thing that's strong. Kushala combines speed, strength, and the ability to repel others, that's what makes it strong.
