Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Not all bosses can handle the player by themselves. Many use waves of lesser enemies to fight for them while they rest, and some even let these minions do all the work.
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.
An enemy that uses a spell or a skill to multiply and add another enemy to fight
Enemy Spawners are living or non-living entities that "spawn" enemies under special conditions. Usually, these Spawners must be destroyed in order to stop a never ending flow of hostile threats.
The counterpart to 'faceless hero'. Sometimes the 'faceless evil' doesn't appear at all, but when it does, the player doesn't get a look at its face.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
In some video games, when some characters talk, what they say has absolutely no meaning, at least to the player. Whether it has any meaning to the character speaking is another matter entirely.
Games with characters known for wearing hoods over their heads, whether they be cloaked cultists, assassins, or just guys that keep their hoodies in the upright-and-locked position.
The ability to float through the air without the aid of a mechanical device such as a jetpack, or the usual biological aids, such as wings.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
A boss fight in which the player must not only battle the actual boss, but must also defeat or defend against auxiliary enemies.
A magician who specializes in the arcane arts of summoning. Conjurers are able to call forth otherworldly beasts and guardians to their aid.
Summoning involves bringing a distant ally into battle to either perform a single, devastating attack or to fight on the behalf of the summoner.
The ability to move from one area to another instantaneously - typically through some sort of special power or device.
The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
