I always liked the Anti-Hero, or the one where the main antagonist is closely related to, or interacts with the protagonist throughout the game.

I would be Alduin, but he throws hammers. So an amalgamation of Alduin and Bowser circa Super Mario Bros.

Either that or none other than the Prince of Pain himself, Goro. You can say Shang Tsung was the final boss of Mortal Kombat, but you got no arcade cred for beating him. If you could beat Goro, hell if you could GET to Goro, you were a king.

I'd be Snorlax from the Pokémon games.


Basically, I'd apply Toxic to you, then just chain Rest (going to sleep and recovering health) until the DoT from Toxic kills your Pokémon or you give up out of boredom.

In the event that you defeated me, I would begrudgingly join your party.

Hey, cool topic, OP :)

I'd be a Legend of Zelda-like boss, except it's endgame, so I have different "stages" that can only be beat by using the various tricks, moves, and gadgets you picked up throughout the game. A melee battle on the floor where you can only hurt me by countering my attacks and hitting after my guard is broken, a wall-climbing version where you use the ranged weapon, a ceiling version where you use the hookshot-type gadget, a big open-space battle on mounts (I'm thinking some kind of raptor-like creature), then I transform into some kind of crazy demon/monster/reincarnate-god and there's section like a DBZ cartoon--where you fly around in the air breaking the laws of physics to smash into each other, followed by a final ground battle *Gaspthatwasalongsentence*. Followed by a kick-ass ending cutscene. So you know, a big-time final exam, where you have to use everything you learned throughout the game to bring me down.

I'd be an RPG near-end boss, with a large mook squadron backing me up.
I'd have 2 large slow attacks that deal massive damage, with an AoE attack after the mooks are dead.
My quirk would be that I would protect my mooks and give them room to recover after that get hurt.

The last boss from Parasite Eve 2 - I don't care if she's female. :) I'd be zipping about like a cat with it's tail on fire, spam loads of cheap teleport attacks and scream like a complete ***** when I finally get killed.

Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but Marauder shields, I die for Biowares sins.

I would be the final Bowser from Super Mario 64.
My one weakness? Throw me at badly placed bombs, which are a complete pain to aim for thanks to terrible game design.

Btw, I would also laugh at any potential lava damage.

(not bitter)

I'd prefer to be one of those bosses that can be only found during certain sidequests, only for the player to find out that I'm actually THE HARDEST boss in the entire game.

The kind that can kill you in one hit if your not careful. As for weaknesses, you'd have to disarm me, pummel me while I dodge and parry to get my weapon back, and hope you get my health down beforehand.

I would be one of those bosses that is horribly easy... if they didn't have somewhat unlimited minions and traps strewn about the place, and one of those invincibility sheilds that seems to flick on and off at random, and annoys the hero!

My attacks involve switches and buttons that summon poisen bees, or open trapdoors to lava pits, or electrify the floor in a grid, or sends a spiked tree trunk across the b'field!

The room I would be in is similar to the base of a missile silo... big, empty (apart from a few computers, and my precious switches... which by the way are fngerprint controlled, so only I can use them) and the item of desire that the hero wants will be sitting in a bulletproof glass cabinet, on a pedestal on a ledge that overlooks the silo... my throne is nect to it...!

Not sure what kind of game I'd be from, probably a platformer or RPG, but I'd definitely attack like this:

I would be one of those ridiculously hard post game bosses that you beat after the main quest after like 3 hours of trying or something.

As for the machanics themselves,I would be really squishy... if you could hit me.I would teleport around a large warehouse completely unpreditcably,launching attacks with every teleport,ensuring I make the game a bullet hell without it actually having to be japanese.Or a shoot-em-up.Or needing to be able to shoot anything at all.Also,I would screw with the fourth wall,Psycho Mantis style.Oh,yeah,and I telekinetically throw shit at you.

Also,awesome music is a necessity,to prevent people from rage quitting really soon.The result should be a ridiculously hard boss that is really satisfying to kill.

Anyone here play Project Overlord from Mass Effect 2?

I'd be kind of like David, only perfectly sane, and not limited to controlling machines only.

A boss who is actually an entire factory. IE a skilled mastermind, and a clever tactician. The AI is located in a main turret, firing bombs. Sending out my inferior robottroops to cover me as I bring the motherload. when the minions fall, I replace them with turrets I can make in my doomfactory. The turrets only use sniper rounds, and are programmed to not fire at each other. They have a 99% hit rate, and are armored with titanium. If I somehow get beaten enough to be in trouble, my main turret retreats into a hatch in the ground, and fill the entire battleground with electricity and or fire. Oh, and the room is filling with flamable gass. you have 2 minutes before death, you squishy lifeform.

Good luck beating me >:)

(you can beat the factory by pressing the shiny red buttons in a special code I left lingering at the end of each level. when they are rearranged, they make a pattern. I got lazy and forgot to destroy them, because they were in no way going to compromise me anyway. ahem.)

Is this way too detailed?

I'd be Tower Knight from Demon's Souls,


Just because of the sexy music and shear terror that went through me the first time I encountered him.

I'd be one of those ones collossi from Shadow of the colossus. Big, adorable looking, hits and takes massive damage, and has a built in platforming section.
