Similar to the Hind-D helicopter fight from Metal Gear Solid.

Some kind of late-game Duel Boss.

The rival in a mech based tactical RPG or Racing Simulator.

A Moral Event Horizon boss in an rpg that locks you into the evil route once slain.

You play as Regime Superman to fight this Final Boss. He likes to use grapples, some bombs and he has a prety lethal desperation move of siccing a gunship at you.

He is the final boss of a MLP video game.

Boss of a Nintendo Hard Retro 2D shooter. Uses wide range lighting attacks and hides in the clouds. Becomes a lot faster when at half health.

The final boss of the dark path! Zero effort, and a way to cross the moral event horizon.

Teleport spam? Check. Literally throws everything but the kitchen sink at you as an attack? Check. Maniacally laughs as he completely changes the battlefield with the snap of his fingers? Check. Employs a healthy dose of interface screwage? Check. Hope you know what you signed up for when you said you wanted to fight the Bonus Boss!

Visual Novel boss

An early-game boss, who doesn't really want to be here and is only reluctantly following orders. Not too hard, but still offering a taste of boss challenges to come later on.

a mob of enemies in a fight that requires you to manage your items and health well to succeed.

An early game boss that's the weakest member of a Quirky Miniboss Squad. Has a change of heart and joins the hero at the end of the game.

A harmless mini-boss which if you kill you are just being cruel (And you may or may not get punished for that.)

Well it's Dr eggman so final boss in a giant machine or boss at the end of each stage with a new machine each time.

A harmless tutorial boss.

The first enemy in a visual Novel and available to recruit on the second play through.

A rather powerful boss considered one of the hardest in the entire game. Fights with a mixture of highly-damaging close range attacks and ranged attacks. Notorious among players for being painfully difficult to fight, as ranged projectiles are easily deflected or outright destroyed, while getting into close combat is an immediate death sentence for almost any class, with the exception of a single character class, and specially-built classes.

This boss will fight the PC by using ranged attacks similar to telekinesis, throwing objects from the environment at the player and hurling the PC into walls and the ground. If the player reaches a certain distance from the boss, they will switch to close combat. This is where the boss excels - these physical attacks each have the chance to severely damage, or outright OHK the PC. The boss may also begin a specialised attack that will One-Hit-Kill the PC if successful; during this, a QTE activates. If the player can complete the QTE, they will evade the attack and momentarily stun the boss. The attack consists of drawing the PC close, then impaling them on the boss' weapon.

The weakness of this boss lies in not being able to deflect or counter any and all attacks. While the boss counters one attack, such as a Thermal Detonator being thrown at them, they are vulnerable to ranged projectile or energy weapon fire, and can be overwhelmed by concentrated fire due to not all of the shots being blocked. When this occurs, the player has a brief window of opportunity to deal as much damage as possible to the boss.

Upon defeat, an option to kill or spare the boss will be given. If killed, the player character will be left "Irredeemably Corrupted" on the morality scale - all factions of a "Good" alignment (and "Neutral" factions that have strong ties to "Good" factions) will automatically turn hostile toward the PC, and they will be permanently barred from joining these factions. If already a member, they will be exiled and a threatening message (usually from the faction leader) sent to the Player Character's in-game inbox. However, the "Evil" factions will now accept the PC without the need to perform reputation missions for them, and the Player will immediately be elevated to a mid-level rank in the group they join. The PC only encounters this boss if their morality score is already deep in the "Evil" scale - to be exact, when they are at 80% corruption.

Sparing, on the other hand, changes the character's morality to "Ambiguous" - the Player can subsequently access a series of "Redemption" missions that will reset their morality to "Neutral". If these missions are completed, the PC will be accepted as having reformed, but will be watched closely by the other factions. In game, this manifests as a multiplier to morality actions - they will award more Good or Evil points, depending on your actions. The redemption missions can only be accessed once - descending fully into Evil a second time will force the player to engage the boss again (with unique dialogue occurring before the fight). However, the "Spare" option is removed, and you can only chose to kill the boss, leading to the above consequences.

Advancing Wall of Doom boss.

An easter egg boss added as an April Fools joke from the developers. It's stupidly hard to kill and leaves behind a ridiculous looking but powerful weapon when defeated.

This robot has been reprogrammed by Dr. Eggman as a last resort weapon. It is equipped with an arsenal of advanced weapons not usually used by Eggman. Fighting this one is a suicidal move.

A puzzle boss that you need to blind somehow in order to get a hit in. Likes to screw with the lighting in the area and make it near-to-impossible to see sometimes, depending where you are.
