|| Always unplayable, each MOBA usually has a super monster that is very tough to beat and is almost impossible to solo, especially at low levels. At high levels, it may be possible to solo them, but will take a lot of effort, so it's better to group up against it. It usually yields a big reward. Occasionally a lesser version can appear, it'll be called 'Bonus Sub Boss' and the reward is usually global money for the team. Certain bosses have the ability to be summoned as an NPC that will help greatly for lane pushing, which is usually called 'Siege Bonus Boss', this usually doubles as the default normal bonus boss. ||||||||||||

|| [[IThoughtItMeant ... Not]] [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold that kind of hooker.]] This is an archetype of heroes with skillset that makes them dangerous pub-stompers and usually played at either a roamer or support, they're never carries. They have a [[YouWillNotEvadeMe long skillshot chain-hook that drags people to them]] (refer to the GET OVER HERE skills in the skill and items page, but not all who possess this skill can be this), but in the same time, they also have a skill that implements crowd control on them, putting the enemy in place (most commonly a rooted beatdown, but that's not always the case). So you are not just being hooked onto them, you're staying there with very small chance to escape, hoping you can press your escape button quicker than they press their disable onto you, which also allows their teammates to beat the hell out of you. And that is why they're considered extreme dangers to mostly pub stompers, an expert player usually would mind their positioning and map vision so they know they won't get dragged. These heroes tend to be modeled after [[VideoGame/{{Dota 2}} Pudge the Butcher]] who goes to become an iconic character amongst the genre, so often as a ShoutOut, they can get [[TheButcher a butcher skin]] ||||||||||||
