Kalki
💡 Explanation:
Kalki is the prophesied final avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism, expected to appear at the end of Kali Yuga (the current age) to end unrighteousness and restart a new cycle of time. Matsya and Varaha were earlier avatars, while Balarama is sometimes counted as an avatar but is not the final one.
