Line 49:
* [[Boss Subtitles]] <br />Where the boss is introduced with a big show of its name and a title or descriptive line.
* [[Boss Vulnerability]] <br />Some bosses are more susceptible to attack than others. This [[Trope]] lists all types.
* [[Braggart Boss]] <br />A blustering, over-the-top buffoon who confronts the heroic party, often completely out of nowhere, [[Incoming Ham|pompously and dramatically introduces himself,]] and challenges the heroes to battle.
* [[Breather Boss]] <br />A surprisingly easy, but not plot-critical, boss.
* [[Bullfight Boss]] <br />A boss that charges at you over and over again.
Line 85:
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] <br />A boss with no relevance whatsoever to the actual plot.
* [[Goddamned Boss]] <br />A boss that's not very dangerous, but very annoying or frustrating to fight.
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]] <br />Characters who keep popping up, requiring you to fight them multiple times through the game.
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]] <br />A Boss Battle where you get a [[Game Over]] if you lose, but if you win, the boss immediately proceeds to beat you in a cutscene.
* [[He Was Right There All Along]] <br />A boss who's already in the room when you enter, and only reveals himself after you go partway into the room.
Line 120:
* [[Stationary Boss]] <br />A fight where the boss remains in one place.
** [[Pivotal Boss]]<br />The boss is too big to move, so he turns to face you.
* [[Tactical Suicide Boss]] <br />The boss is impervious to the player's regular attacks, and would be impossible to defeat if one of its attacks didn't expose its particular [[Achilles' Heel]] in the process.
** [[Boss Arena Idiocy]] <br />The boss's weakness is something unique to the boss's own arena.
* [[Teleport Spam]] <br />A boss that teleports all over the place.
Line 134:
* [[Underwater Boss Battle]] <br />Are your [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]] up to par?
* [[The Unfought]] <br />An antagonist in the game who plays an important role in the story, but is never really fought as an actual boss. May overlap with [[Bait and Switch Boss]] and [[Cutscene Boss]].
* [[Vehicular Assault]] <br />Fight against a vehicle of some kind.
* [[Victory Fakeout]] <br />The boss is defeated, the stage is cleared and... wait, he's getting up again? What's he [[One-Winged Angel|doing]]? [[Oh Crap|Uh oh...]]
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]] <br />An early boss who ends up being much harder than expected.
