These baddies were originally the boss of the original Doom's first episode, but they would become normal enemies in Doom II.
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.
A level that is focused entirely on a boss encounter.
When players must fight all of the bosses of the game at once. This can either be an optional mode, or a required sequence. Boss Rush can also mean a game where the player only fights bosses.
A clone is a being created as a perfect genetic duplicate of another being, right down to the DNA.
See? The exploiting, soulless people who run the video game industry DO care about their fans!
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
Death From Above.
An opponent that typically appears around the halfway point in a level. Mini-Bosses are more formidable than the average opponent, though normally not as tough as the end-level Boss.
An optional boss is a boss whose defeat is not essential to the plot and can be avoided. In some cases, they are stronger than the game's final boss.
Organization XIII are a group of 13 powerful Nobodies from the franchise Kingdom Hearts, first appearing in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. They focus on collecting Xehanort's heart.
Enemies that are adamant in their will to hunt you down. Example: Pac-Man ghosts.
Veteran cannon fodder that have made appearances in more than one game, often with a small cosmetic change each time.
Sea monsters are sea-dwelling, mythical or legendary creatures, often believed to be of immense size.
An evil criminal organization the player must defeat in the Pokemon games. Also very iconic in the Pokemon anime.
The king of all dinosaurs, featured prominently in most every game that features dinosaurs. Usually portrayed as a high-level boss or even an invincible obstacle.
Bosses that are designed to not be beaten; however, sometimes these bosses can finally be beaten at a later point in the game.
A legendarily tough and rare enemy in the Final Fantasy series. Even though in some incarnations its appearance differs wildly, in most cases it resembles its initial incarnation from the original game.
Extremely rare within the worlds they populate, WEAPONs are extremely powerful creatures found within the various realms of the Final Fantasy series. Usually an optional superboss, WEAPONs have also been part of the main story, such is the case with Final Fantasy VII.
