superboss
Hidden ultimate enemy
A superboss is a video game boss enemy designed to be significantly more powerful than the main storyline's final boss—an optional challenge for players seeking the ultimate test of skill: I spent weeks trying to beat the superboss after finishing the main game.
The term occasionally appears in business contexts for an exceptionally capable or demanding manager.
