i suppose another layer to "what kind of boss fight are you" could be is,
would you be an average-sized but powerful enemy, a huge imposing enemy, an otherworldly enemy,
...there's probably others that i can't think of atm. (i'm not sure i ought to spend too much time thinking about this <<)
@kitsch ◾ ♪ The best part of going askew / Is when your ammo's you ♪ *evil cackle* *SHATTERSTRIKE!* *railgun of disassembler/takeover drackels fired toward the protagonist at high speed* *techno music with some kinda siren*
@kitsch ◽ *sigh, okay*
*strident voice* I may be small, but I am an avenging angel with _wings of fire_! Come no closer unless you seek incineration! *Searing Splitshield* *quiet, staid*
*protagonist steps forward*
… you still insist on trying to violate our sanctum? Then you have only brought this upon yourself, adventurer. May your end be swift and merciful!
*orchestral horn crescendo* *Haste* *Divine Premonition* *Formation Bugle* *Ranged Cancel* *Dragon Fire (takes 6 turns to charge)*
