Missing bosses

There are 53 on this list, there are supposed to be 60. Anyone remember any off the top of their head? You can google for videos with the invader you remember (Thats not on the list) if you don't remember their skills off the bat. Gotta collect em all! Cilibinarii (talk) 01:54, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

I think the bosses should be divided into two groups because there are bosses that are exclusive to the invasion league (which are also the only boss kills needed for the challenge), but all of the corrupted area bosses are also listed here and included in the pool of bosses that can invade areas. That said, these are the bosses missing from the list (Blood Stasis and Blood Morpher are considered to be the same boss so it goes to 61):
  • The Sunburst Queen
  • All-Seeing Eye
  • Mother of the Hive
  • Curator Miem
  • Shrapnelbearer
  • Kamaq, Soilmaker
  • Shadow of Vengeance
  • Perquil the Lucky

Thanks for the last ones, I added them all. Strangledrift is the only one really left, it's on the list but has no information. I know it's similar to the All-Seeing Eye, but I couldn't find a video of it to get the particulars. Anyhow, I agree they should probably be divided into two categories, though in such a way that it's clear that the corrupted zone invaders also can spawn as regular invaders ("Invasion-league exclusive Invaders" and "Corrupted zone Invaders" maybe?). As it is, it's a rather humongous list. I'm not sure which ones are corrupted zone invaders though, I only cleared about 15 of the zones so far. So feel free to add if you want. EDIT: Nvm, Corrupted Areas article has the area bosses. Cilibinarii (talk) 00:06, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
I added and fixed a few things. It's still kind of a mess, but I guess it's alright in this "information gathering" stage. Some skills/supports listed are essentially incorrect since monsters often don't use the player equivalents. Just one example: Typically when a monster has multiple projectiles, it doesn't use "LMP" or "GMP", it just uses additional projectiles without damage penalties. Also things like "fireball" are incorrect for the carrion queen projectiles since they have different mechanics including their flight style and damage category & type (physical/fire hybrid, and it's an attack, not a spell). Additionally, I have no idea how to name some of the skills since they are unlisted and I don't know if it's appropriate to just invent names for them (for example the sunburst queen's huge "meteor nuke" which is derived from the conqueror wurm skill).

Huh, we're at 62 now. Did GGG fail at counting when they mentioned 60 (61 considering the blood ape duo) new bosses or am I overlooking something? Cilibinarii (talk) 18:21, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
They probably just said 60 as in "roughly 60" because it's a nice round number. Ezhiel (talk) 18:40, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't recall GGG saying "exactly 60". The patch notes state "Added over 60 new boss monsters". Also the number 62 corresponds to the sum of the invasion challenges (36 unique invaders + 26 corrupted areeas with 1 boss each). Chriskang (talk) 22:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Found one more not on the list. Beheader Ataguchu. According to the incoming link, there is 89 monsters have IsInvasionBossIsInvasionBoss

mod, and removing the duplicated variant for Vaal side area, there should be some not covered by this list of monsters. Neokowloon (talk) 05:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Arrangement & additional info

Would it be alright if I went ahead and separated the entries into two categories to indicate corrupted area bosses and invasion exclusive bosses? I'd also like to ask what kind of additional info we should be listing for all these bosses. I'm thinking at least the supporting monster types that they spawn with would be a good addition. Maybe also the areas they can spawn in (some bosses seem to be able to spawn only in some areas etc.). How about their unlisted abilities, like the huge projectile used by The Sunburst Queen? Is there a way to mine the names of these skills from the game data? - Ezhiel (talk) 00:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your last suggestion, I've been working on a project to extract monster data from the game file for several months and it's nearing completion now. I expect to have something to show in a few days. Chriskang (talk) 12:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Deleted boss from the list

Konu, Maker of Wind, according to the metadata id, have 2 variants. Boss can be both vaal side area boss and invasion boss. So are there any point to delete vaal side boss from the list? Neokowloon (talk) 14:05, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Seems vaal side area version does not have IsInvasionBossIsInvasionBoss
