An optional boss you can fight, but it will cause some negative interactions with certain characters.

When you're not the father, It's a great big surprise. Thats-a-Maury.

A "Get Back Here!" Boss that likes to taunt you and its motions may be dodging, but may also just be him losing his balance.

A boss that you must fight from the inside of his mind with the aid of two rogue programs.

Boss of a murder mystery game that requires trapping him rather than a direct confrontation.

Rush Boss in a an action RPG of some sort, hits hard with attacks that are hard to avoid, and always moves away from the player, but isn't very fast, and has low HP for a boss. Someone with big damage output, like the player party's main magic user, would be best to take them on...except this is the player party’s main magic user, who's been tricked into fighting you. Good luck!

Final unexpected boss of a Japanese rpg. If you kill it you get a bad end.

The Dragon to the main boss. High damage output, but relatively low HP - a single hit is enough to kill the boss outright. This is countered by the boss's heavily randomised attack patterns, near One-Hit Kill damage levels and high dodging capabilities. Primarily fights from range, which only furthers this boss's reputation as That One Boss.

A very much tankish boss. Hitting it in places other than its few weak spots does very little damage, and it occasionally exposes these weak spots. You want to focus on those. And you need to play close attention during the battle and dodge, because it hits like a TRUCK. Considered by many to be That One Boss.

You need to use stealth to defeat this boss. If he sees you, he'll instantly lop your head off with his axe.

An Ax-Crazy Berserker of a boss whose small size causes players to underestimate him. Notorious for having stupidly high damage and the ability to soak up massive amounts of damage before falling. Only made worse by the boss's high speed and massively unpredictable attacks, causing it to be labelled as a pseudo-That One Boss, with the only thing saving it from this being hilariously low accuracy - he can't hit the broad side of a barn, unless said barn was literally running towards him as he swings.

The easiest way to beat the boss is to keep dodging the attacks, which will cause the boss to charge the PC. If the charge is dodged, the boss will be left vulnerable for a few moments, allowing the player to attack and potentially deal massive damage. Setting traps, then baiting the boss into a charge will also prove useful, as this can temporarily immobilise the boss and open him up to damage.

tl;dr: He's a close-combat monster, but can be beaten with good dodges, traps, and a fair bit of luck.

First and foremost, Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever.

Arguably a Puzzle Boss that needs you to hit various points and/or interact with the arena in some way to deal anything more than chip damage.

No achievement for defeating it without the puzzle-stuff.

Mid-game boss, two bosses who keep arguing with each other and can't always decide who will be the one to attack, so sometimes they'll both attack at once. The best time to try for hits when they're both alive is when only one is attacking

You have to choose to play the good or evil side, and your character's path is decided through the actions they take. Fighting and defeating this particular boss will fully commit your character to the evil side.

Probably either a tutorial mini-boss, or a (still early-game) boss that doesn't fit with the rest of the game. Probably starts out with a limited range of attacks, but has more variety as his health goes down.

A Humanoid abomination who drops the act during the final three phases of the fight, all getting more and more intense, both in difficulty, and in trauma.

Her patterns grow from “slightly random” to “oh crap” to “u h.”

And that’s before she starts hijacking the interface.

A midboss in the final area, featuring Those Two Bad Guys as a Dual Boss similar to Twinrova - using one boss’s attacks to hit the other one.

How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
