raid boss
Group battle antagonist
A raid boss is a powerful enemy in video games designed to be fought by a large group of players working together.
The term comes from MMORPGs where "raids" are coordinated group attacks on especially difficult content.
Raid bosses typically have massive health pools, devastating attacks, and complex mechanics requiring teamwork to defeat: We wiped six times before finally downing the raid boss.
Outside gaming, raid boss describes anything formidable that seems to require collective effort to overcome: Finals week is the raid boss of every semester.
