Boss Ideas

This. But swap ukulele for an almighty ban-hammer. Laser eyes are a must. I think her weakness could be sweets. Drop a cupcake on the ground and she zergs for it, dropping her guard.

 

How about this... "Clippy" aka "Karl Klammer".

 

Awesome, but probably copywrited (along with most of the suggestions in this thread). :P

 

me is thinking something from the SCP or something like the pokey spider thing from Earthbound.

 

I'm not at all bias but any Earthbound-style enemies would be awesome.

 

How about a boss that you totally don't expect in a sci-fi game? We've already got mechs and spaceships, mutants and aliens, how about something a little more down to earth...or should I say...OF the earth?

Let me present the Golem:



Lore:
Golems are large beasts, created using the surrounding environment and nanotechnology. A creator would release a large cloud of pre-programed Nanites which would begin to use the resources directly available to create a large "mech". The result would be a huge, roughly humanoid creature consisting of multiple body parts held together and working seamlessly by the use of tiny Nanites. The Nanites communicate almost simultaneously via a cloud connection, which lets the Golem act and move as one creature.

The Nanites, having only the surounding resources to build with, would create a creature fitting the theme and biome of the planet. On a Crystal planet, you'd find a Crystal-themed Golem. One a rocky desert planet, a rock Golem. On a hellish molten landscape, you'd get a magma Golem. ...and so on.
This would provide lots of variation, and if each variation had somewhat unique abilities, that would be a huge plus.



Tactics:
Each Golem consists of four parts:

Torso:The Golem's main body, usually holding the highest defense and HP. If this part is destroyed, the Golem dies.

Arms:
The arms are the primary weapons, usually used to block attacks on the torso (If the Golem is more Def. orientated) or smash/shoot/cut/fry/electrocute/etc. the enemy into a harmless pulp before any damage to the torso can be done (If the Golem isn't as protective as it is aggressive...).

Head:
The head is a secondary weapon for any Golems that this would fit for. Some Golems might have the ability to breath fire? In which case the head can serve as a secondary weapon. If else, the head is merely a part of the torso.


Earth-Based Golems:
They would most likely rip up chunks of the ground (5x5 circles of dirt/stone) and hurl it at the enemy. Moves slower.


Fire-Based Golems:
Ranged fire weapons, possibly even inflicting damage upon direct contact? Takes less damage from fire.

Crystal-Based Golems:The strongest ones known. Uses impressively sharp axes or other bladed weapons, directly merged with their arms. Have more HP and Def. in general.

Mechanical Golems:
Sometimes the Nanites are set loss in a shipwreck or factory, in which case a Steampunk-Esque mech is created. Usually has ranged weapons such as cannons or guns, possible even a steam AoE attack?



Conclusion:The Golems would be a great boss to use in mods, seeing as they're easily adaptable for any new biome or dungeon a mod would add, and could work nicely with any new weaponry that mods adds. They'd provide many roleplay purposes by posing questions such as "Who built them? When? Why?". They could work nicely as "mini-bosses", spawning with a special rarity or during on special event?

I'll be continuing on this later, hopefully with some sprites and drawings I've actually done myself to explain in detail how they would work, and how the body is split up. Any questions? Just PM me. I'm always here.

The classic battle from Star Trek!
A lizard-skinned alien who has super strength attacks you with boulders and heavy objects.
It should be an early boss battle so that you don't have powerful guns yet. I would love to hear that hissing sound!

 

A PURE EVIL

 

Some relic of the race that created the glitch that is deactivated and called to your planet destroying things(like the penguin boss in summoning) Imagine giant robot warrior of awesomeness.

 

Traveling vast distances + capturing monsters; it can only equal one thing, Tiy.

 

<--- You could add Juice Box himself, but unfortunately he couldn't be beaten

 

Did you make that?

 

There's a joke here involving suction, but I feel like it is NSFW so I won't try and formulate it.

 

I like the idea of a "steampunk" or medieval golem who could be a glitch gaurdian. Maybe of a dungeon?

 

Well you weaponized penguins, why not weaponize cats. (Sorry for my poor artistic abilities.)

 

How about a mob of angry humans, all screaming "we want daily updates," while throwing burning torches and golf clubs.

 

Okey this is my second idea for a boss.

Imagine yourself encountering a destroyed human base.. you can say Ruin's
and inside you encounter a still active machine with a weared looking chair
you deside to sit on it and when you do it plugs you in and conects you to a virtual world.
When you arrive you find yourself Boxed and as you look up a face apearce and before you can comprehand whats going on its trys and delete you like a file !!

Okey so a bit about the boss :
Name : Virus °23
When it was created it was supose to help the humans but instead it turn against his creators
Like a Virus trying to delete/elimnate all that in his way.

He can maniplate the gravity , change it from heavy to light.
Can create object that atak the player ( player can block with shield)
It can disappear and reappear it a onthere place in a split second. ( so your ataks can easy miss)
It can try BanHammer you!

i think it gives abit of varity as your boxed and can't use premade buildings to defend.
and the gravity will make sure to be fun place to fight in

Ok guys tell me what you think
Srry for my english i do my best to explain as i see it ;D

How about no you unappreciative ungrateful po?
Edit: If only there was a dislike button...

 

Me.

And upon death I do that thing where super hero's leave a scrap of clothing behind.

 

dang, this looks like something almost straight from noitu love devolution

the glasses and the mouth make it seem really similar.

honestly, the only ideas I can think of are a Po boss or some cool robot.

I've changed my mind, a reference to one of Dr. Robotnik's bosses would be really cool. Just not the wrecking ball boss, because that's been done a million times and is boring!
