Is there a trope for a video game boss that's designed to be an easier version of a much more difficult boss, so it's sort of like a practice boss before you face the real threat? I had thought of Warm-Up Boss, but that's specifically for bosses at the end of the tutorial or first level, and I was thinking of some examples that can happen throughout the game.
