dungeon boss
Final chamber enemy
A dungeon boss is the powerful enemy encountered at the end of a dungeon in video games, typically requiring more strategy and effort to defeat than regular enemies.
The term comes from role-playing and adventure games where players navigate through dungeons—enclosed areas filled with challenges—before facing a climactic battle: We wiped three times on the dungeon boss before finally beating it.
