You One-Winged Angel you...

[The Salty Vulcan]

For those of you not in the know, a One-Winged Angel refers to Game Bosses that changes form during a fight, sometimes even more than once. Whether it's a Mad Scientist downing in his own mutogen or Sephiroth himself*, once these guys change it's usually time to end the fight quickly if you plan to save the world.

So with that in mind, I ask you my fellow Escapists, what would your One-Winged Angel look like if you were the Big Bad?
Or, if your not up to envisioning yourself sprouting horns and a few extra eyes, talk about some of your favourite examples of this. They could be from games, films, books, comics whatever.

*In fact, Sephiroth was the guy who inspired the term.
Ok, so it was his theme music but it's the same thing.

If I'm going to be a big bad, I'm going to harbor the element of surprise:

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I start to leak all of the toxins I have gleefully been pumping into my body.
Then I guess I sort of just get all floaty because why not.

I don't actually do anything else. Good guys barge in and I change. They're all "oh no" and then I make them a cup of tea or something.
While insulting their mothers.

Castle Crashers Final Boss FTW!

For me, a Killer Bunny erupts from my chest.

And Boom goes the Dynamite.

I'd turn into a finely crafted wooden desk, poor suckers would never see it coming.....

 

[Legion IV]

I'd just die. Am not gonna be one of those boses who is sustained by pure hate. If you beat me once you are obviously stronger then me. I accept my fate. But then i die in someway that your not 100% sure and then i come back as someone else leading an Anti cradle terror... wait a minute!! (props to anyone who gets this)

 

[Lambi]

Let me start with saying that I'd be one of those insane villains. Think something like Kefka or the Joker, just not looking like a clown, even if Kefka is a court mage, he still looks like a clown.

My first form would be just me as I am. Then I'm beaten and I'd change into a smaller version of what Kefka is at the end of FF VI and not as god like. That is, I'd have only one pair of wings, angelic ones, my skin would have a purple shade over it and my eyes would be yellow, not glowing yellow, just have yellow instead of the normal white, and I'd be three times as big as a normal human. Then if that form is beaten, I'd change into something like Kefka at the end of FF VI. Purple skin, glowing yellow eyes, six pairs of wings, two of the pairs angelic wings and the lowest pair demonic wings, I'd be about 10 times, if not more, taller than a normal human and my voice would sound all creepy.

 

[spectrenihlus]

I'd personally go more with the Andross self assured destruction route.

IF I GO DOWN I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME.

Then everything proceeds to explode.

 

[Talvrae]

I would take an apparence very reminescent of an H.R. giger creature with bar wings...

i had draw that years ago... but well wont post it... not really apropriate... and i'm a very poorly skilled artist

 

[HT_Black]

Me, but in a nice terry-cloth smoking jacket.
With massive bat wings, a venomous needle-shooting tail, a rack of razor-sharp horns, and on fire.

 

[lacktheknack]

Ever heard of H. R. Giger?

You shall COWER IN FEAR OF MY BIOMECHANICAL ONE-WINED ANGELLLLLLL!

 

[Gigaguy64]

Spoiler: Something along the lines of this

So freaking cool.

 

[astrav1]

Turn into a giant man lion hybrid with angel wings.

 

[revolutionaification]

I'd probably have two back-ups.

The first would just be me again, except I'd be a little (barely noticeably) smaller, a bit more sickly looking. I'd then proceed to b'aaawww and tell you how much I regret letting it all get out of hand.

Then, when you didn't believe my amateur dramatics I'd start to flicker (kinda like a monitor dying) and warp away, ninja style, to some other part of the room. I'd then proceed to 'flicker' at you, closing in to attack before warping away again.

Yeah, I'd be one of those annoying 'speedy' bosses. Plus, I'd obviously have some kinda of regenerative power, just to ramp up how irritating I was.

 

[ReverendJ]

I START the fight in my "final form." I mean, if it's so badass and powerful, why not lead with it?

As far as what it is, it probably involves fire. Lots of it. And 40k-esque chainsaws everywhere. And a big, black cloak or robe. And miniguns on my forearms. Also, I'd be slightly taller.

 

[VanillaBean]

You know Dragon Ball Z also comes to mind with this one-winged angel stuff.
As for my final form, definitly Neil Patrick Harris

 

[Something Amyss]

I would be a kitty.

With tentacles.

Lots and lots of tentacles.
