*[[Big Bad]]: Adam Crowley in both games. |

*[[Eldritch Abomination]]: The second games, at one point, features the humongous tentacles of an unseen horror chasing after Herbert and forcing him to seek refuge inside a museum.The [[Final Boss|final boss]] is a colossal, green mass of flesh, tendrils and fanged maws taking part most of the tip of the Eiffel Tower. |

Seriously, will you expect to face a fire-breathing multi-headed serpent near a sewer, or a Yeti in a church, or [[Jack the Ripper]] in a storehouse? The sequels has it even worse, with random monstrous bosses attacking Herbert without a proper introduction or setup. |

||
* |
*[[Monster Mash]]: Werewolves, Zombies, Gargoyles, Harpies, Giant Spiders, Snow Monster and Jack the Ripper (sort of). The sequel mostly relies on more generic, humanoid monstrosities. |

||
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: All of them. |
