Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Enemies who don't fight fair or flee when they're running low on health. Examples include Boos from Super Mario and those pesky goblins from Dark Messiah.
The severing of limbs is a good way for designers to make every battle a bloodier, gorier mess. Or sillier in the right situations.
Eggs or cocoons that give way to enemies.
An enemy that uses a spell or a skill to multiply and add another enemy to fight
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".
Sometimes, enemies will explode (usually when shot at) and will cause damage to the player.
Enemies that prefer to keep a distance to the ground, and swoop down occasionally to do some damage.
Whether it be a close up shotgun blast, far away sniper rifle, explosive, or backstab, the "one hit kill" is a popular kill strategy. Usually hard to master and even harder to avoid, the instant kill is loved and hated by gamers everywhere.
An invisible enemy is an antagonist that cannot be seen under normal circumstances. Sometimes these enemies are only temporarily invisible or can be made visible somehow.
When the character blows itself up, inflicting damage, or when the character falls, flies, or is otherwise ejected from the arena by their own actions.
Terrorists can be found terrorizing people all over the world of video games. While there is no consensus on how to define the term "terrorism", terrorists are generally considered to be people who express their ideals through violence.
Bosses that are designed to not be beaten; however, sometimes these bosses can finally be beaten at a later point in the game.
This is a place of special vulnerability. Particularly used in boss fights or when simply fighting Giant Enemy Crabs that cannot be defeated by usual means.
