RPG-boss creation (NEWS ON PAGE 4)

[jarelash]

Ok, so me and my few friends have been working on an RPG for 3-4 months now and we kinda ran out of ideas for interesting bosses. I wanted to know if you have any ideas.
The rules are simple:
Fill the form below. Nothing silly though (trololol mutants, Badspotnators, Nobots, Russian chicken hunters, etc.). The game's theme is fantasy, but there are some futuristic stuff in it.

*le form*
NAME
RACE (lizardman, human, demon, robot, russian half-dwarf mutant assassin (not really), spirit...)
STRENGHT (attack, defence, mind, agility)
WEAKNESS (any basic element)
INFO (like what kind of attacks he/she/it has)
SPECIAL DROPS (if you want him to drop a special item, i can create it, nothing OP though...)
PURPOSE
LOCATION
EDIT: The RPG's game mechanics are a bit like the old 2-D final fantasies, so i might not be able to make the bosses exactly how you want them to be (example, the posessing boss is a bit hard to create, but instead of posessing, he might convert one of your party members to his side.

/create

EDIT: Check out my youtube channel "Jaytech97" for footage from the unfinished game.

Here's a boss idea.

The Shadow
Race - ???
Strength - ???
Weakness - ???
Info - He is not tangible. He can possess someone in your party, and, whoop dee doo, that guy becomes the boss. To screw things up, he changes host, but he is exposed while this happens. He only changes host when his current one is weak.
Drops - Shadow leech (A wand that can possess foes similar to the shadow. it takes ages to recharge, though.)

NAME: Corrosivo
RACE: Demon
STRENGHT: I'm not really sure how to fill this in
WEAKNESS: Ice
INFO: Has a sword than can vaporize things.
SPECIAL DROPS: Corrosivo's Hat(a purple top hat with a green band around it, and on the band is a triangle)

[VincentTheGuy]

NAME - Dresmius
RACE - Ante-Light
STRENGHT - Darkness
WEAKNESS - Fire/light
INFO - A Huge boss who is the servant of the Dark Lord. All his attack must be to the beat of the fight music because it's freaking amazing when they are. He slams, fires dark attacks, and spawns smaller dark beings.
SPECIAL DROPS - The Harbinger's Staff of Darkness +1-999

The staff fires a random dark spell and or corrupted spell that has the power of the added +1-999 at the end of the staff's name.

Shroud of Souls

Makes the area completely dark and makes all enemies decompose. Takes 50 hp away from the user.

If you add this i require that i get credit for him.

This one sounds pretty good...
By strenght i mean is he a good attacker, a good defender, a good mage or extremely agile.

[VincentTheGuy]

No one ever want Dres.

Ever.

It's upsetting.

NAME: Nappy the Electrosmith
RACE: Dwarf
STRENGH: Defense
WEAKNESS: Electricity for buildings (Overload the machinery), Earth for Nappy himself.
INFO: Builds assorted electrical machinery such as generators (Attacking with electricity magic) and robots (Attacking with physical attacks, possibly healed by generator) to attack for him. Can also attack with electricity magic to avoid build spam.
SPECIAL DROPS: Electrosmith's Hammer. +X to Electricity magic power. Allows user to cast Overload. Overload deals X Electricity damage to all enemies on the field. Reduces the amount of mana used to cast Electricity spells.

Oh. In that case, he's a good mage. Uses a sword though and implements his corrosive magic into the sword.
Also...people can be both good mages and good attackers, can't they? :U

no.

NAME: Nappy the Electrosmith
RACE: Dwarf
STRENGHT: Defense
WEAKNESS: Electricity for buildings (Overload the machinery), Earth for Nappy himself.
INFO: Builds assorted electrical machinery such as generators (Attacking with electricity magic) and robots (Attacking with physical attacks, possibly healed by generator) to attack for him. Can also attack with electricity magic to avoid build spam.
SPECIAL DROPS: Electrosmith's Hammer. +X to Electricity magic power. Allows user to cast Overload. Overload deals X Electricity damage to all enemies on the field. Reduces the amount of mana used to cast Electricity spells.

I approve of this idea.

Of course. In fact, one of the playable characters is a magical knight, who's good with magic and swords.

Here's an example of a boss, that's already in the game:

NAME: Core Guardian
RACE: Robot/mechanical
STRENGHT: Defence
WEAKNESS: Thunder
INFO: A hulking laser cannon...with feet. Once the party explores the reactor core of a huge airship, the core begins a self-destruct sequence and the way is blocked by the guardian. What makes this battle interesting is that he has lots of health and you have 10 turns to kill it.
DROPS: Solid plasma blade

NAME - Dresmius
RACE - Ante-Light
STRENGHT - defense
WEAKNESS - Fire/light
INFO - A Huge boss who is the servant of the Dark Lord. All his attack must be to the beat of the fight music because it's freaking amazing when they are. He slams, fires dark attacks, and spawns smaller dark beings. Slam = 10-15 DMG Attacks = 20-30 DMG Smaller Beings = 5-8 FMG
SPECIAL DROPS - The Harbinger's Staff of Darkness +1-999

The staff fires a random dark spell and or corrupted spell that has the power of the added +1-999 at the end of the staff's name.

Also, you might want to know some of the stuff in the game:

Elemental temples: Oh the originality! hidden around the world. Defeat the challenger in each temple to recieve a special item/skill.
Mazes included!

Redclaw Empire: Pretty much like any other evil empire in FF games (FFVI, VII and XII). They got basic swordsmen, machines, airships, tek armor and other stuff.

Now you can add more info to the form:
PURPOSE (What does it do/ why does it exist)
(i told you about the temples, if you wanna give boss ideas for the challengers)

Dresmius sounds like endgame/temple challenger material. The slam attack could deal damage PLUS stun the target (misses next turn).
I'll make sure to give credit to you.

More info of the game if you want to decide the LOCATION of the battle:

(note: areas i don't mention already have their bosses.

northernlands mountains: A cold place. One of the hidden characters lives here.

the dry forest: A dead forest in the middle of a desert. Not a drop of water in sight.

Redclaw stronghold: The stronghold of the evil empire.

Daemon Realm: The darkest realm. Endgame stuff...

Cloud of souls: Formed from the dark energy released from a portal to the daemon realm.

Dwarven mountains: More cold mountains, full of mining tunnels.

Aincent sky tower: A large stone tower, which acts as a landing zone for the redclaw airship fleet.

Other: You decide
