Weird Bosses

[Dagger Dias]

We have all encountered an endless line of video game bosses as gamers. They come in many shapes and colors. Some are very serious about their assignment of killing you or preventing you from completing your own missions. Others though are purely comedic relief and then there are the ones who are just flat out STRANGE. This thread will look at the weird bosses we all love to laugh at, as the sillier bosses hardly get the attention that supervillains do.

Here's one of my favorites. In the SNES game Earthbound there is a mine where you need to go inside to rescue a miner who got lost. Inside you get attacked by 5 huge moles. The first one estimates that he is the 3rd strongest mole in the mine. No problem, right? Then you find another and wait a minute, he too claims to be #3 in power. What's going on here? It turns out that for some unknown reason all 5 of them think they are the 3rd strongest. The last one has the funniest thing to say out of all of the "3rd strongest moles".

This makes me laugh every time.


So what about the rest of you, what are some weird bosses you have encountered over the years and what makes them so strange to you?

I look forward to your responses.

I remember the final Mysterio fight from the Spider-Man 2 movie game. This Mysterio was a more goofy interpretation of the character, but had still been somewhat formidable in the previous encounters. When you meet him for the final time, he's busy robbing a convenience store or something. You walk in and his health bar is gigantic, making you think you're in for one hell of a fight. You hit him once, his health instantly drops to zero, and he's at your feet begging for mercy. Absolutely hilarious.

Like Dagger, I have to refer to Earthbound, which was a game series known for it's weird bosses. Although, the one I'm bringing up comes in the Japan released third game, Mother 3. In the third chapter, one of the things you can fight is a dung beetle, which you can redeem the dung for xp. It all seems fine, until you get to the end of the area.

Yes, the cactus wolf. It comes in at a random point and just wants to screw with the monkey. The fact that you can copy it and "use a cactus headbutt" just makes this battle even more weird.

Watch out for that dangerous LEAF shield he hurls at you. Oooohhh... leaves.... scary! This was one of the easiest bosses in all of the Mega Man games I played...

I just bought a bunch of games recently, one of which is Super Paper Mario. I'm about halfway through it and just encountered a strange but hilarious boss named Francis. He's basically an over-the-top exaggeration of nerds in general, in the form of a chamealean. While he's a little annoying, it seems like they really put a lot of effort into making him funny, what with his complaining about things on the internet and all. The dating sim parady that comes up is brilliant and easily the funniest thing in the game so far.

Yu Yevin From FFX. Sure there are a lot of bosses that can be mentioned instead of Yu Yevin in the FF series {Kafka is a Clown...nough said} But... going through countless bosses fights to reach him and then to be confronted with that!!! what was it?

 

[poppycock]

I think Gunstar Heroes for the Megadrive has to be up there for a game having some of the oddest bosses aswell as being one of the most fun games I ever played as a kid.

Final boss from Earthbound, anyone?
You're fighting a fetus. In utero.
Wat.

And I can't remember which one it was, but one of the Kirby games. You're battling the giant eye. Then it rips it's own pupil out. Blood everywhere. I shat myself.

My pick can be considered more disturbing than weird but considering they rems often associated with each other I will have a go at it.

I was originally going to put Pandora from revelations: Persona as my pick but I have no idea what a female wang is so I did not want to take the risk of getting band for possible nudity.

Anyway back to the Great Mighty Poo from Conker's bad fur day. The simple thought of your shit singing to you about how it lusts to throw itself had me rolling on the floor in both laughter and amusement. The game itself was meant to be for hardcore gamers on the Nintendo 64 but failed miserably. Though that did not stop it from making a legacy out of the Great mighty Poo. This is both hilarious and disturbing as well as weird any way you look at it.

Final Fantasy Series - Cactuar.

Never mind the fact that he's a Giant Cactus that looks surprised all the time. But somehow, he keeps his balance by standing on one leg, has some blazing speed for a big thing, and keeps his eyes locked on YOU. Not the character you control, but YOU the player.

The first time I fought one of these was Final Fantasy VIII and after he lit me up with 10,000 Needles, I was like wait...did I jus lose to a Giant Cactus?

Needless to say, the thing gave me the creeps. Still does as a matter of fact.

One more: Final Fantasy 12 - The Entities

You could NOT level up without seeing one of these. A Giant Spirit Bomb looking creature that automatically readies an attack from 20 feet away. I've never seen an enemy so...weird. It was a floating one-attack kill machine.
