Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
One or more events from someone's past that negatively affected them. Plenty of video game characters have such pasts.
Demons are generally creatures of evil, usually from Hell, who are often totally untrustworthy even when they're not murdering everyone and destroying everything in their path.
Many video game villains oftentimes laugh in evil ways, be it a vicious cackle, a sneering chuckle, or a booming laugh. Common evil laughs often include "Bwa-ha-ha", "Mwa-ha-ha", or "Ho ho ho".
Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a woman.
When a character that the player fights as a boss is playable elsewhere.
A boss that players fight multiple times throughout the game. They usually follow the player as they progress.
Reversed controls occur when the player's movement controls are opposite, meaning pressing left will cause the character to move right.
The idea of deriving a feeling of pleasure through inflicting pain or suffering on another living being.
Shrine maidens, or miko, are girls or young women who perform various duties at Shinto shrines.
SNK fighting games are notorious for boss fights of ludicrous difficulty. Common symptoms of SNK Boss Syndrome include absurdly high attack priority, overpowered special attacks, and AIs that read button inputs. Though it's most common in SNK games, the syndrome has also appeared in games by other companies.
An antagonist who isn't a villain by choice and is not in control of their emotions or a victim of tragic circumstance.
