Boss (video games)

A boss is a particularly challenging computer-controlled enemy in video games. They are typically found at the end of a segment of a game, with the last enemy in the game itself called the final boss. A fight with a boss character is usually referred to as a "boss battle," which often has its own special music and environment. Bosses appear in many video games, particularly action games which often feature multiple bosses generally increasing in difficulty as the game progresses.
