This is where a boss enemy resembles an enlarged or Palette Swapped version of a regular enemy, possibly with a crown or some other identifying feature. They may even be a mutant version, and will probably have an unimaginative name based on the enemy type they resemble. However! Their attacks may be vastly different from those of the enemies they are based upon, or they may be identical but stronger. This mook is usually one of the varieties that can turn red, causing the player extra pain. King Mooks tend to be such by virtue of being Large and in Charge. They may be the result of a Mook Promotion, or they may always have been tougher than your average enemy character. The King Mook has a high chance of being a Flunky Boss, having several of its weaker forms fight alongside it. It could be a Mechanical Monster if the original Mecha-Mooks it's based on are weird looking enough. A King Mook version of The Goomba is a common choice for a game's Warmup Boss. Compare Giant Mook. See also Elite Mooks and Superpowered Mooks. Contrast Monster Lord, when this is due to biology. Not to be confused with Flunky Boss, which is about a boss that relies on his army to do the fighting for him. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: King Bulblin, along with his steed, Lord Bulbo. Other examples include that giant version of the Twilight Kargaroks with trumpet bells for heads that you have to fly up Zora's River on, Diababa (a giant Deku Baba), Twilit Bloat the Shadow Insect Queen, Armogohma (a Giant Spider in a spider filled area), Stallord (biggest Stalfos in any game, and the player only sees him from the waist up) and Argorok (once again Kargarok). Even a boss who came from a corrupted good character, Blizzeta, takes the form of an enemy (Freezard). And then there's Ganon, whose One-Winged Angel form resembles a Bulbo. | |

In Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, some of the bosses are these, some even in a literal sense such as the Crowned Slime (a blue slime with a crown on its head that is basicly the King Slime from Dragon Quest) and the Eyebat King who has a "fancy hat, common wings" (again, simply a very large Eyebat with a crown, but he can fire a Wave-Motion Gun from his eye). The Gauntlet (the enemy, not the floor with mooks) is also simply a very big Knight. Like his two colleagues before, he is accompanied by swarms of normal enemies of the type. | |

Digimon: ShogunGekomon is basically a big, fat, red, crowned version of Gekomon. There is also KingSukamon, who is a gigantic Sukamon with a junk crown. There are several Digimon that fit this trope; KingEtemon, the various Mamemon such as BigMamemon and PrinceMamemon... Most of them are Joke Characters, though. The Digimon World 4 game had some tucked in a corner Mooks that would on a rare occasion be a King Mook. But the king status is only seen as a crown icon status effect. Nevertheless, they live up to the trope on toughness. There are more examples if the names don't have to be the same. A lot of the time, the grunts are like the boss but less awesome. For example, Petaldramon and his Chamelemon soldiers are a ginormous plant-lizard guy and some less ginormous non-plant lizard guys. |

The Item Worlds in the Disgaea series have these every ten floors. Most of them don't even get a palette swap. There were a few in the main story, as well. In Disgaea D2, the Krichevskoy Group, who believe Laharl is an Inadequate Inheritor, first want an order-following knight named Barbara to be Overlord, as they can control her. When Laharl defeats her, they unveil a new candidate for Overlord: a Prinny! When asked what makes this Prinny so special, they reveal that he was chosen by a very specific random number generator. | |

Several monsters fought in the Monster Hunter series are alpha, fully-evolved versions of regular creatures. Where used, italics determine the names of the mooks: First generation (Monster Hunter (2004) and its G expansion and Freedom port): Velocidrome (to Velociprey), Gendrome (to Genprey), Iodrome (to Ioprey), Cephadrome (to Cephalos) Second generation (Monster Hunter 2 (dos), Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and the latter's Unite expansion): Bulldrome (to Bullfango), Giadrome (to Giaprey), Congalala (to Conga), Blangonga (to Blango), Daimyo Hermitaur, Shogun Ceanataur, Vespoid Queen, King Shakalaka Third generation (Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and the former's Ultimate expansion): Great Jaggi (also representing the female Jaggia), Great Wroggi, Great Baggi, Royal Ludroth, Gigginox (to Giggi), Agnaktor (to Uroktor) Fourth Generation (Monster Hunter 4, Monster Hunter Generations and their respective Ultimate expansions): Seltas Queen (this one is unique in that the smaller Seltas is still classified as a large monster to begin with), Desert Seltas Queen (this one stands out for being the first subspecies in the franchise to invoke this trope), Great Maccao, Zamtrios (to Zamite) Fifth Generation (Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter: Rise and their respective expansions): Great Jagras, Great Girros, Great Izuchi, Rakna-Kadaki (to Rachnoid), Pyre Rakna-Kadaki (to Pyrantula; this makes Pyre the second subspecies in the franchise to invoke this trope) |

The Mega Hulk in the original Descent. The Fusion Hulks later in the game are somewhat of an inversion; they are a smaller Palette Swap of it. Several of the second game's bosses are also like this, eg the Water Boss is basically a giant Seeker. And in Descent 3, the Thiefbot has a boss version, the Super Thief, that can use stolen weapons against you. | |

Ancient Domains of Mystery has tougher versions of many types of monsters, but most of these are Elite Mooks, and even the ones called "King" this or "Emperor" that are usually more like Giant Mooks, and that only provided they're enough of a challenge and don't come in hordes. Some, however, are unique boss monsters, often optional, such as Rehetep the Mummy Lord, or the Assassin Prince. The Final Boss for the normal ending is even one of these — "Fistanarius, the Greater Balor". Since the game has ASCII graphics, everything is technically a Palette Swap of something else, so it's hard to draw the line exactly — is the Cat Lord a King Mook because he's a super-tough feline, or not one because he doesn't specifically resemble any type of feline? | |

Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: Among the bosses, the game only has the Undead King (based on the skeletal enemies and F.O.E. found in the Fetid Necropolis), with the remaining examples being minibosses (such as Angry Mole Lord, Luring Phantom and Xenolord; respectively based on the Rending Moles, the Roamng Wraiths and the Xenopods); the other major bosses, including superbosses, are thematically unrelated to the enemies found in the game. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Taluses are just enormous Pebblits, having the same body type as them. This also applies to Frost Talus and Igneo Talus (them being respectively the alphas of the Frost and Igneo Pebblits). Being the leader of the Yiga Clan, Master Kohga serves as a boss version of the Yiga mooks Link finds over the course of his adventure. He can also use some of the abilities stored in the Sheikah Slate, thus also doubling as a Mirror Boss. |

This is something of a habit in the Donkey Kong Country series: The bosses in Donkey Kong Country -Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty, the Master Neckys and Queen B.- are just bigger, badder renditions of common enemies you see in the game, except Dumb Drum, which is just a bigger, badder rendition of an enemy-spawning oil can. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has King Zing, Krow and Kreepy Krow, giant versions of Zingers and Mini-Neckies. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has Barbos, the boss of Razor Ridge. She's a giant version of the smaller Lurchin (urchin) enemies. Donkey Kong 64 has Puftoss (to the pufferfish-like Puftups) and Army Dillo (to the Army, despite the enemy not appearing in the game). K. Rool himself counts, what with him being the Kremlings' king. And the Kremlings have repeatedly been featured as mooks throughout the series. Mole Miner Max, Colonel Pluck and Tiki Tong in Donkey Kong Country Returns, respectively based on the Mole Miners, the robotic chicken mooks (BuckBombs) and the Tikis. Skowl represents the owl family of mooks in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Lord Fredrik, the Snowmad chief, is one among the walrus mooks. |

In Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the first boss, a giant wolf named Howl, has an attack pattern very similar to the Snappers (salamander-like mooks) encountered just before him; the Horn Beetle boss of Kwolok's Hollow is a gigantic version of the armored rhinoceros beetles found in said area; the Giant Spider boss Mora is this for the spiders populating Mouldwood Depths, and occasionally summons them during the battle; and the Willowstone is a boss version of the fireball-and-laser-shooting energy orbs. The deleted Optional Boss Grol would have been this for the corrupted Gorlek Miners. | |

The long-running Dragon Quest series has, as part of the many, many variations of the Slime family, not only a King Slime monster, but also a Queen Slime monster as well. And each of these two monsters has its own variations and alternate versions, such as the Japanese-themed Shogum, the Empress Slime, etc. | |

The Boss Chenille in Rayman 2: The Great Escape is a large red caterpillar; one of the regular Mooks in that part of the world. She's not even that adventurous with her attacks in her Boss fight; while caterpillars are essentially a chain of smoke-balls, Chenille is little more than a chain of a chain of smoke-balls. | |

Hyrule Warriors has several examples: Volga is a combination of the Lizalfos, Dinolfos and Aerolfos — enemies that are Elite Mooks at best and Red Shirts at worst — only scaled up to the power level of the playable characters. Wizzro is an even better example, as he even looks like a Big Poe, the Elite Mook he's based on. Captain Keeta and King Bulblin, who are larger and more powerful versions of Stalchildren and bulblins respectively and are treated as characters. |

Done for deliberate absurdity in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance's "Zako Survival" mode, where Raiden must fight a hundred Gurlukovich Soldiers of various types (the main Mooks in the game). Then a hundred-foot tall Kaiju-ised soldier with a fin on its head emerges, is introduced as the "Gurlugon" in its Boss Subtitles, and starts trying to paralyse you with Eye Beams... Playing as Solid Snake instead unveils a giant version of the Genome Soldiers from the last game called "Mechagenola". | |

Bloody Spell has a heavily armored, dangerous Elite Mook enemy who uses dual swords, and the Caretaker who's a boss version of said enemy type (expectedly, he's flanked by several of his mook counterparts). Then there's the priestess legion near the end of the game, which you defeat until you reach their leader, the High Priestess who's a red-clad, far more powerful version of the common priestess enemies. | |

In Magic and Mayhem, any monster can level up into a Captain and then King if they manage to do enough damage without dying. The King rank is also unique in that there can only be one King monster of a certain kind at a time, and if another monster of that kind gets close, they will "recognize their king" and change allegiance to their side. | |

Space Station Silicon Valley has the King Rat and King Penguin to their respective animals, though they don't really fight like a larger version of the smaller animals; rats can lay bombs or bite, while penguins throw snowballs and can use a parachute to fall slowly. The King Rat leaves a trial of noxious gas while the King Penguin flies for a short time and both king animals share the same B attack (sounding a trumpet to make nearby rats/penguins attack). | |

In NetHack, most sapient non-human species (i.e. gnomes, dwarves, elves and ogres) have kings (who keep being called that even if they are female). These are the strongest members of their species, and are usually purple. Otherwise, though, they have no special advantages, and are rarely worth paying any special attention to. Elven kings are highly likely to be carrying a pickaxe alongside conventional elven armor, for some reason. The other kings often do not get anything more than pieces of their species' basic equipment. It's entirely possible for a regular dwarf to be better equipped than her king. |

The Three Wise Men in Odin Sphere are really just Palette Swaps of the wizards fought in Titania, but with upgraded spells and requiring the player to hit projectiles back at them to injure them instead of it just being the most effective strategy; and since wizards were already Demonic Spiders on they're own, fights with the Wise Men very easily reach That One Boss status. | |

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3: The Tartarus level bosses were all like this, though color swapping mooks is a cottage industry in Shin Megami Tensei games. In Persona 4, the sub-bosses encountered mid-way through each dungeon and the optional bosses that take up residence in previously completed dungeons are all King Mooks. In fact, the first one of these you will encounter appears in Yukiko's castle, and is literally a king. He's a bit of a pain. Even Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne uses this, despite most of the enemies being drawn from a very large selection of mythological figures. There's also the more literal case of the recurring King Frost, a giant version of the series Mascot Mook Jack Frost with a crown and scepter. |

Etrian Odyssey: The first game, as well as its remake Millenium Girl, has both Fenrir (the alpha male of the Skolls), and the Queen Ant (self-explanatory). The remake also adds the Queen Bee, who commands the bee-based enemies and FOE that roam the second area of Gladsheim. Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard and its remake Fafnir Knight feature the optional Salamander, the large parent of the Baby Salamanders. Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan has the Berserker King (to the Bloodbears in Lush Woodlands), Hollow Queen (to the family of Hollow ghosts in Misty Ravine), and the Cradle Guardian (to the robotic sentries that patrol the Echoing Library). Some sidequest-related minibosses fit as well, such as the Baboon King (Angry Baboons and other related primates) and the Chameleon King (to the elusive Chameleons). Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: Among the bosses, the game only has the Undead King (based on the skeletal enemies and F.O.E. found in the Fetid Necropolis), with the remaining examples being minibosses (such as Angry Mole Lord, Luring Phantom and Xenolord; respectively based on the Rending Moles, the Roamng Wraiths and the Xenopods); the other major bosses, including superbosses, are thematically unrelated to the enemies found in the game. Etrian Odyssey Nexus, besides bringing back several King Mooks, introduces the Bugbeast (the alpha version of the Platinum Pillbug F.O.E., and the boss of the Western Shrine; by extension, it also represents the Silent Assassins which appear in the postgame Bonus Dungeon). |

Borderlands 2: Nearly every boss qualifies here in some way, save a few examples. 010011110100110101000111010101110101010001001000 has the appearance of a constructor and a Hyperion Loader mixed together Anchorman: The Big Sleep is a bodyguard for Sandman, but is visually just an average Anchorman with a special skin. Borok: Woundspike the genetic experiment. Bullymongs: Donkey Mong, King Mong, Warmong, Grendel, Jackenstein, and Knuckledragger are all Bullymong's and clearly use the same style model with differing appearances, sizes, and names, but all fight entirely different. Jackenstein for examples has incredible health, shields, can summon loaders, and fires electrical blasts from his chest, things no other Bullymong does. The Bulwark is another Bullymong with the odd ability to curl up into an invincible ball when the player is too close. Crystalisk: Blue and Rouge Dragons: The Handsome Dragon is essentially just a giant boss version of a red dragon with special AI behaviors. Additionally, the Ancient Dragons of Destruction, Brood the Invincible, Boost the Invincible, Incinerator the Incinvible, and Helianth the invincible, are all special dragon boss enemies. Drifter: Arizona is just a fire version of a regular Drifter. Dexiduous the Invincible is a colossal Raid Boss drifter. Goliath: Midge is a Midget Goliath riding a Bullymong. Although he doesn't resemble them, and he uses Electrical Cannons, Piston's running animation and melee attacks are clearly the exact same ones used by Goliath's and the Goliath Inspired enemies, Enforcers. There's also Smash-Head, who like both of the above doesn't really fight like most Goliaths (he has a shield, a rocket launcher, and a bunch of midget cronies) Golem: The Gold Golem piloted by Greedtooth is essentially a colossal Iron Golem, which in turn is just a stronger version of a regular golem. There's also the Unmotivated Golem which must be fought repeatedly. Hyperion Engineer: Pyro Pete and Hyperius the Invincible are both modified Hyperion Engineers. Knight: Sir Boil, Sir Mash, and Sir Stew Loader: Saturn, Innuendobot, Bone Head 2.0 (a reference to Bone Head from the first game), and H 3 RL-E. Saturn is easily the greatest difference, at a hulking 30 feet and equipped with cannons, but it is still visibly and obviously a giant Loader. Marauder: Assassin Wot is a stronger version of a Marauder Midget: Sandman is just a powerful midget obviously. Bagman is as well. Nomad: Big Maw and Deputy Winger are both special Nomad boss enemies, as is Captain Flynt, Doc Mercy, Mad Mike, and Assassin Oney. Orc: Arguk the Butcher is a regular Orc with swords for hands, but otherwise looks and attacks like any other Orc. There's also Warlord Grug and Warlord Turge. Pirate: No-Beard. Master Gee the Invincible is a standard pirate enemy that is giant, but also one of the most unique fights given the AI behavior and the environmental situation. Psycho: Assassin Reeth and Incinerator Clayton Rakk: Rakkanoth, and the hidden boss fight with Son of Mothrakk. Rat: Assassin Rouf is a big version of a Rat. There's also Dan, Lee, Mick, Ralph, and Flinter. Also Laney White, cousing of Scooter. Sand Worm: The Leviathan is a colossal Sand Worm of unbelievable size. Due to its size, it doesn't fight like a normal Sand Worm whatsoever, but it is obviously one just by looking at it. Savage: When you face off against Voraciduous, you will also face Chief Ngwatu, a special Savage with an incredibly powerful shield and lightning bolt attacks. He's also 10 feet tall. Scalyion: Thermitage the giant Scalyion. Skag: Dukino's Mom is a gigantic Armored Skag who cannot run and fires laser beams. Skeleton Knight: The Four Skeleton Kings fight just like Badass Skeleton Knights, and all use the same models and attack patterns. Snowman: Sir Tinder Snowflake is a giant snowman. In the same DLC he's fought in, killer snowmen are common enemies. Sorcerer: The Handsome Sorcerer loosely borrows his movement animations and attacks from the regular Sorcerers the player fights. Spiderant: The Black Queen is a mini-boss Spiderant that looks nothing different from an average spiderant. There's also Scorch, the giant Fire Spiderant. There's also the Spycho and Sully the Blacksmith, giant Spiderant-Human hybrids with the torso and head of a human, and the lower body of a Spiderant. Spiders: Although she has a human head, she essentially fights like an Arachne with special attacks and shields. She's also a lot bigger. Stalkers: A great many fights with Stalkers such as Henry, Tinkles, and the raid boss Voraciduous the Invincible. Thresher: Old Slappy, Moby, and nearly any other thresher is essentially a giant dangerous version of a regular thresher. This doesn't stop Terramorphous the Invincible from being one of the most unique boss enemies in the game (and easily one of the hardest). Varkid: Madame Von Bartlesby (Tina came up with the name) is a special colored giant Varkid. Vermivorous is a raid boss version. Vehicle: The Monster Truck that Torgue sends you to fight is clearly just a giant car based on the Bandit Technical. Motor Mama uses a special Motorcyle with the same design as the others, but two turrets instead of a rider. Clark the Combustible Cryptkeeper is apparently a modified Incinerator Clayton that is re-skinned to look undead. Motor Momma uses Ellie's appearance. Wilhelm is Half Loader, half Hyperion Engineer. The Invincible Son of Crawmerax the Invincible is a funny example of a giant boss version of a boss from the previous game. |

Epic Battle Fantasy 5 has the Cosmic Gigalith, acting as a giant endboss version of the Cosmic Monolith minibosses (and, by extention, the whole Monolith family). Destroying that reveals the Devourer immediately after, a King Mook to the earlier Beholder boss and its floating eyes. | |

Jr.), Gigant Edge (Blade and Sword Knight), Grand Wheelie (Wheelie), King Doo (Waddle Doo), Block Waddle Dee (Waddle Dees), Kibble Blade (Sir Kibble), Captain Stitch (Gordo), Water Galboros, Flame Galboros, and Miasmoros (Galbos), Jumpershoot (Drifter), Boboo (Bobos), Gao Gao (Gaw Gaws), Big Metalun (Metaluns), Moundo (Rockys), Hornhead (Beetley), etc. Most of the Mini-Boss characters in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards are giant versions of ordinary enemies; they are frequently surrounded by many of their normally-sized friends. Among them is a giant Galbo that eventually became the basis for the Flame Galboros of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. |

Etrian Odyssey Nexus, besides bringing back several King Mooks, introduces the Bugbeast (the alpha version of the Platinum Pillbug F.O.E., and the boss of the Western Shrine; by extension, it also represents the Silent Assassins which appear in the postgame Bonus Dungeon). | |

The Giant Birds in Rule of Rose are bigger, more durable version of the standard Bird-Imps, but what makes them a nightmare to deal with is how fast and far they strike, and knock the player down with every hit, taking a fair chunk of your hitpoints at the same time. You don't actually have to defeat any to finish the game, but if you make the mistake of entering the classroom during the night in the final chapter, as you have to do if you want to gather all secret items in the game, you'll be locked in until you kill the one inside. The only way you can even hope to win is either with luck and Brown's help, or with a revolver, if you by chance happen to have that secret weapon at this point. | |

The bosses in Donkey Kong Country -Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty, the Master Neckys and Queen B.- are just bigger, badder renditions of common enemies you see in the game, except Dumb Drum, which is just a bigger, badder rendition of an enemy-spawning oil can. | |

The end of the Control timeline in Quantum Break has the player encounter Liam Burke in combat. He's basically a regular Striker with more health and a chronon dampener that disables your superpowers for the duration of the fight. He also doesn't seem to take extra damage from headshots, to prevent you from ending the "boss fight" too fast. | |

In The Wonderful 101, the Gah-Goojin can be seen as the next logical progression from the Dough-Goo, Chew Dough-Goo, and Diedough-Goo enemies. The Gah-Goojin itself later gets a bigger version; the Wallgah-Goojin. Then, the Wallgah-Goojin is itself outdone by the Giga-Goojin! The Giga-Goojin will even throw replicas of the other two during its boss fight just to show how big it is! The big enemies often come first with the smaller ones coming later. Dahkarts is a large scorpion that shows up as the miniboss of Operation 001-A, but it's not until 004 that we're introduced to their smaller, larval stages. Lastly, the Vaikki is this for the Dahkarts, especially as the harder difficulties will swap out Dahkarts with Vaikki in certain Kahkoo-regahs. | |

The boss of the fourth level in the episode two of Highway Hunter is an upscaled version of the already quite large armed F1 racers you fight in that level. Like all the ground bosses, he's big enough that he hogs the entire highway, so it's not like you could just go around him. | |

The Mimic Queen from Final Fantasy XII. The vast majority of the rare monsters and Marks in the game are also giant versions of normal enemies. This is justified, though, as the Clan Primer entries for most of them explain their origins. Most of the rare monsters are explained to be naturally occuring mutant varieties of the normal monster species. Most of the Marks were mutated by prolonged exposure to corrupting magic which also caused them to go Ax-Crazy and attack anything in their vicinity that isn't a member of their original monster species, which is why the player's group is petitioned to eliminate them before they can either disrupt the natural balance and/or pose a danger to nearby humanoid settlements. Recurring franchise Super Boss Omega is also imagined here as a giant Mimic. | |

The majority of the A-rank and S-rank 'hunt targets' in Final Fantasy XIV are versions of normal mooks with increased size, a palette swap, and sometimes just a minor distinguishing feature. For some, the only real difference is their level, the red mark next to their names and the fact that they're about ten times bigger than their fellows. This also applies to a lot of minibosses and even some dungeon bosses, and particularly a lot of Epic FATE bosses. | |

World of Warcraft is pretty often guilty of this (it's easier to increase size instead of using a new model), especially outside of dungeons. The Devs admitted to this, and that it usually works in reverse. Once a boss is used they often find it is just too cool of a model to waste in one dungeon. | |

XCOM: Enemy Unknown: One of the biggest factors that made the final boss of the first game an Anti-Climax Boss was that it was just a souped-up "Uber Ethereal"- basically a normal Ethereal with a slightly more ornate helmet and massively inflated health. XCOM 2 avoids the problem by making its final boss a Wolfpack Boss. The Alien Rulers DLC focuses on a beefed-up Viper, Berserker, and Archon which can invade your ongoing missions. The Rulers have so much health that it takes multiple encounters to slay them, with the rewards being unique suits of armor that can cause panic in the mooks they're based off. XCOM: Chimera Squad has all three Arc Villain bosses and the final boss simply be enhanced versions of their faction's signature unit. Rank Scales with Asskicking is downplayed substantially here: all four only have somewhat more health than the mook they're based on, plus some extra status immunities, meaning there's several agents who can defeat them in a single turn. Depending on the faction and the order that they're fought, they may not even be the last boss of their mission. |

In EVIL, you encounter a gray boss Hunter named Karth Pakor'h that can only be damaged with plasma grenades, a Giant Devlin, a Super Assimilated BOB (who is really your Brainwashed and Crazy commander), and two Super Mystics on the final level. Marathon: RED has the Champion Metalloids in the level "Can We Get a Squeegee Over Here?", which is an homage to "You Think You're Big Time?", as well as boss versions of some of the Organic monsters. |

Most of the dungeons in EarthBound (1994) use a larger, powered-up version of a minor dungeon enemy type as the boss, giving it PSI powers and beefed up attacks. Titanic Ant is an Antoid, Mondo Mole is a powered-up mole, Trillionage Sprout resembles a Mobile Sprout enemy, Shrooom! is a powered-up Ramblin' Evil Mushroom, and the Plague Rat of Doom is based on the Rowdy Mouse enemy type. (Captain Strong is based on a Dummied Out enemy called "Dirty Cop," and it's possible that Carbon/Diamond Dog is meant to be one of the overworld dog enemies from elsewhere in the game.) The trope is justified in that these bosses are implied to be normal enemies suffused with the captured power of the "Your Sanctuary" locations the hero is searching for. It's less justified with Starman Deluxe and Master Belch/Barf (a version of the slime enemies). The game lampshades the trope by introducing Degraded Boss versions of the Department Store Spook named Mook. | |

Wolfenstein 3-D: The Episode 1 boss, Hans Grosse, acts like a bigger and tougher SS Soldier, with a similar color scheme on their clothing, similar blue eyes and golden hair, and considerably more firepower. The Episode 4 boss, Otto Giftmacher, acts like a bigger and tougher Officer, with a similar color scheme on their clothing, similar eyes and hair color, and bigger Hand Cannon that shoots rockets. Oddly, his projectile weapon can make him less threatening than regular Hitscan officers and bosses. The game's sequel, Spear of Destiny, has the Ubermutant, a giant four-armed Mutant with a Gatling gun in its chest. |

Resident Evil: In the original game, the Black Tiger spider. There's also Crimson Head Elder in the remake. The Adult Albinoid and Black Widow in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. Zealot Leaders in Resident Evil 4 have red robes and goat masks, sometimes wield rocket launchers, and can take quite a bit more punishment than normal Zealots. There's also the Bella Sisters, which are chainsaw-wielding miniboss versions of the female Ganados, Super Salvador in Mercenaries mode, and the Queen Plaga, which Salazar and Verdugo merge with for the Chapter 4 boss fight. |

In Persona 4, the sub-bosses encountered mid-way through each dungeon and the optional bosses that take up residence in previously completed dungeons are all King Mooks. In fact, the first one of these you will encounter appears in Yukiko's castle, and is literally a king. He's a bit of a pain. | |

XCOM: Chimera Squad has all three Arc Villain bosses and the final boss simply be enhanced versions of their faction's signature unit. Rank Scales with Asskicking is downplayed substantially here: all four only have somewhat more health than the mook they're based on, plus some extra status immunities, meaning there's several agents who can defeat them in a single turn. Depending on the faction and the order that they're fought, they may not even be the last boss of their mission. | |

In Warframe, almost every single boss was essentially a palette-swap of an existing enemy with boosted stats when they were first released. However, this has gradually become less and less the case, the devs redesigning boss characters one at a time to have unique looks and mechanics. As of three years after the start of open beta, there are only a handful of King Mooks left. While a few retain the visual aesthetic - being bigger, badder versions of normal enemies - they have been retooled to be more along the lines of being a Puzzle Boss, with one exception. The Sergeant, originally "Sergeant Nef Anyo" until Nef was split off into his own character, is just a larger, recolored Corpus mook whose only real distinction is that he can temporarily turn invisible... which only barely slows down his murder by superpowered space ninjas. | |

Epic Battle Fantasy series: Beholders and giant slimes are obviously this, relative to the regular floating eyes and slimes. Epic Battle Fantasy 5 has the Cosmic Gigalith, acting as a giant endboss version of the Cosmic Monolith minibosses (and, by extention, the whole Monolith family). Destroying that reveals the Devourer immediately after, a King Mook to the earlier Beholder boss and its floating eyes. |

The totem pole boss in Parcheesi Temple has the unusual distinction of being a King Mook for four different enemies: The yellow head is based on the oil-lamp-like enemies that shoot flames. The red head is based on the box-throwing robot enemies. The purple head is based on the bird enemies. The green head is based on the singing snake enemies. |

The first time you encounter it is in a true boss battle, just after defeating other Hells. Subsequent encounters with them feature them spawning alongside other Hells and even other Vanguards as if they were simple mooks, but while still keeping their firepower and durability, which in higher difficulties turns them into Bosses in mooks's clothing. | |

King Bowser himself, who debuted in the original Super Mario Bros., is nothing more than a comparatively giant spiked Koopa. Mecha Bowser (introduced in Super Mario Sunshine) is one to the Mecha-Koopas and Electrokoopas, while Dry Bowser (introduced in New Super Mario Bros.) is one to the Dry Bones. This trope was in fact a factor in his creation; Shigeru Miyamoto once envisioned him as an ox in homage to Alakazam the Great, but his final design came about as Yoichi Kotabe convinced Miyamoto to make the king of turtles a turtle himself. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The fourth edition includes rules in the Dungeon Master's guide on how to do this for any and all monsters. It also includes the inverse, how to mook-ify the really tough monsters. In previous editions, the King Mook chieftains of humanoid monsters such as goblins simply have an extra hit die or two to distinguish them statistically from the rank-and-file. Third Edition is the exception to this pattern, as it opens up the option of giving the monsters class levels. Hive mothers are very rare, large and powerful beholders capable of magically dominating their lesser kin, and are usually found ruling over communities of beholder and beholderkin with iron wills. In 5th edition, with the release of the Sidekick options, it is now possible to take a being that has a cr of 1/2 or less and give it Class options in the form of Expert (Rogue-like), Spellcaster (Mage gets wizard spell list, Healer gets cleric and druid spell lists, Prodegy gets bard and warlock spell lists), and Warrior (Champion Fighter-like, with a bit of Barbarian). This can elevate something like a regular Town Guard, up to the same level as a cr 20 creature. It also comes in handy for leveling up animal companions, like a knight's trusty warhorse. Likewise, it's a great way to make sure that a bandit the party ran into at Level 1 is still a threat, even at level 10 or higher. Likewise, the DMG has a section on how to apply class levels to monsters, the example being adding barbarian levels onto a werewolf. |

Most of the flagships in Battle Pirates are improved variants of standard hulls, like the Frostburn Interceptor, Borbas' Goresaber, Harlock's Aegis, High-Lander's Nuclear Cruiser, etc. While you can use a flagship with any fleet, it's most common to use it with a fleet of the standard hulls it's based on. For example, a Borbas' Goresaber would typically front a fleet of normal Goresabers. | |

[PROTOTYPE] has the Leader Hunter, which is just a juiced-up variant of the normal Hunter. Although its attacks aren't really changed they do an obscene amount of damage and it has a deep health pool to match, and to top it off you have to fight it on a tiny rooftop that gives it further advantage over your Glass Cannon character. Later on they start to appear as common enemies. [PROTOTYPE 2] has a couple of these. The Orion Phase 2 is identical to the Phase 1s but with much better stats, and hefights alongside a few. And a lot of the boss fights are against Evolved with more health and cooler weapons than their more common brethren. |

In Nintendo Land: Pig moblins appear alongside Pig Ganon, making them this to him like in A Link to the Past. The Pikmin attraction has even more. The Bulblord (bulborbs again), the Large-Mouthed Wollywog (wollywogs), and the Bladed Beeb (beebs, introduced in this game). |

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link has an Iron Knuckle riding a horse, Rebonack, as one boss. He returns as a miniboss down the line. There's also Carock, which looks and attacks like a Wizzrobe but is bigger and faster in terms of teleport frequency, and much harder to hit (that last being something Wizzrobes are good enough at already). Yet another example is Thunderbird, a giant-flying variation of the Fokkeru birds that drop fireballs in the Great Palace. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past features the Armos Knights, the Moldorm King, and the Helmasaur King, smaller versions of which inhabit their dungeons or the area around them. Additionally, Moblins have been redesigned from their bulldog-like appearance in previous games to resembling pigs, carry mini tridents, and have an implied backstory of being former people. This makes them a mini version of Ganon, a monstrous trident-wielding humanoid boar who started as a person. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Several examples. Mini bosses King Moblin and Master Stalfos are this to Bulldog Moblinsnote separate from the piglike Moblins which are called Pig Warriors here and Stalfos respectively. The dungeon boss Moldorm is a larger and more powerful version of the Mini Moldorm enemies. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The bosses of the first three dungeons: Queen Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade. You fight Gohma's hatchlings, Dodongo larva and normal Dodongos, and smaller jellyfish parasites before fighting the big ones. There's also the minibosses Big Octo (to Octoroks) and the White Wolfos (to the gray Wolfos). The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has Garo Master (leader of the Garos who challenge Link when he's wearing the Garo Mask) and Captain Keeta (a giant Stalchild). The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games: Two minibosses in Ages, Armos knight and Blue Stalfos, are souped-up versions of the Armos and Shrouded Stalfos enemies. In Seasons, the miniboss pair of Goriyas are a more powerful version of bulldog moblins who they closely resemble. Both games also feature Great Moblin, the king of the Pig Moblins and a recurring Goldfish Poop Gang. Being Laughably Evil, Great Moblin survives, unlike the other examples. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker features Gohma (who resembles a Magtail), Jalhalla (the king of the Poes), Helmaroc King (a giant version of a Kargaroc), Kalle Demos (whose head resembles a Boko Baba's with eyes) and Gohdan (who is a giant Armos statue). Even Molgera is one, as he's a giant version of the Moldorms he releases. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: A special case. Two bosses (Big Green ChuChu and Big Octorok) are simply regular enemies, but as Link has shrunk to flea size they're gigantic from his perspective. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: King Bulblin, along with his steed, Lord Bulbo. Other examples include that giant version of the Twilight Kargaroks with trumpet bells for heads that you have to fly up Zora's River on, Diababa (a giant Deku Baba), Twilit Bloat the Shadow Insect Queen, Armogohma (a Giant Spider in a spider filled area), Stallord (biggest Stalfos in any game, and the player only sees him from the waist up) and Argorok (once again Kargarok). Even a boss who came from a corrupted good character, Blizzeta, takes the form of an enemy (Freezard). And then there's Ganon, whose One-Winged Angel form resembles a Bulbo. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Moldarach is a thousand-year-old Aracha who grew to monstrous size. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds features series veteran Moldorm, Gigabari (a Mini-Boss that splits into numerous Bari when it takes enough damage), and Knucklemaster (a large, armored Wallmaster). The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Taluses are just enormous Pebblits, having the same body type as them. This also applies to Frost Talus and Igneo Talus (them being respectively the alphas of the Frost and Igneo Pebblits). Being the leader of the Yiga Clan, Master Kohga serves as a boss version of the Yiga mooks Link finds over the course of his adventure. He can also use some of the abilities stored in the Sheikah Slate, thus also doubling as a Mirror Boss. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Boss Bokoblins are giant versions of the common Bokoblins. They are found as leaders of larger Bokoblin tribes and encampments, leading them in patrols or lunging around in camp. When fighting, they prefer to stand behind a line of minions, using blasts of their horns to command their grunts into various formations. Froxes are gigantic, fully-developed specimens of the Little Froxes that roam in the Depths. Unlike their child variants, these are so durable that Link cannot defeat them by hitting their bodies per se, but instead the ore chunks located in their backs. Queen Gibdo, the boss of the Lightning Temple, is the progenitor of the Gibdos that have overrun Gerudo Town. The boss shares the same traits at them, but also the same weaknesses. Mucktorok is a small, yet highly skilled alpha species of the Octoroks capable of vomiting mud, both to attack its enemies and to swim between the puddles to dodge attacks. It can also take the form of a (literal) landshark to swim beneath the floor with agility. The Seized Construct is the largest, most powerful version of the Soldier Constructs fought in the game, and serves as the boss of Spirit Temple (and indirectly also the Construct Factory). It can use the same abilities as those you use when piloting Mineru's Construct body, as well as certain tricks from the Soldier Constructs (such as fusing materials to attack with stronger weapons in the second phase). A similar unit of the boss is also used by Master Kohga during his final rematch. Hyrule Warriors has several examples: Volga is a combination of the Lizalfos, Dinolfos and Aerolfos — enemies that are Elite Mooks at best and Red Shirts at worst — only scaled up to the power level of the playable characters. Wizzro is an even better example, as he even looks like a Big Poe, the Elite Mook he's based on. Captain Keeta and King Bulblin, who are larger and more powerful versions of Stalchildren and bulblins respectively and are treated as characters. Cadence of Hyrule: Wizzroboe is a large, more powerful version of the Wizzrobes, and was entrusted the Oboe instrument by Big Bad Octavo. It can summon snowflake-shaped shrapnels that freeze the floor, make icicles fall below Link, and case rows of purple fire. |

Halo does this a lot: Halo 2: The Heretic Leader is just an Elite Ranger with more health, an Elite Heretic skin, and the ability to make holographic clones of himself. The Dragon Tartarus is a white-gray Brute with a one-hit-kill hammer, an energy shield impervious to everything except beam rifle shots, and insane health. The Brute Chieftain encounters in Halo 3 are often set up like mini-boss fights; one Chieftain will even tell his followers to back off so he can deal with you himself. The Elite Field Marshal in Halo: Reach, while the Elite Zealots border between this and Boss in Mook Clothing. Halo 5: Guardians: Warzone mode has an insane amount of boss enemies, most of whom are just pallet-swapped regular enemies with a lot more health, immunity to one-hit-kill attacks, and the occasional exotic REQ variant weapon. |

Banjo-Kazooie: Boss Boom Box from the first game is, as the name suggests, a big Boom Box. Nipper is one among the Snippets, and by extension the Mutie-Snippets (these being a Wolfpack Boss to begin with). Banjo-Tooie: For the Minjos, there's Mingy Jongo. Where Minjos impersonate minor collectibles (Jinjos), Mingy Jongo impersonates a major character (Mumbo Jumbo). |

In the Metro 2033 series, the Nosalises have two examples: the Plated Nosalis in 2033, and the Rhino/Big Momma in Last Light. Both are are exceptionally durable compared to their fellow mutants, and are fought in arenas specifically tailored to the encounters. To Artyom's fortune, both have weaknesses: the Plated Nosalises only live in total darkness and are easily Blinded by the Light of the headlamp at full charge, and the Rhino can be tricked into charging into supports and walls and take damage from them; if you get her to hit all the supports, her health will drop so low that any attack of yours, even a Quick Melee with the knife, kills her in one shot. | |

Three out of the five boss colors in Steven Universe Attack the Light are this, with Indigo being a massive scorpion with a few extra limbs, Green a massive plant-mage-thing that can summon Ditto Fighters, and Orange a massive shielded turtle that can shoot lasers, all of which are seen in their respective levels as basic enemies. Blue and Red break this trend, however, Blue being a big-mouthed whale and Red a giant three-headed centipede, neither of which are ever seen in the game at all, let alone in their stages. | |

Many of the boss-level enemies in Dead Frontier are simply the stronger versions of mutant zombies. The Titan, Black Titan, Wraith, Giant Spider, and Devil Hound bosses are the next stage in the mutation of Bone, Black Bone, Tendril, Spider, and Hell Hound respectively. | |

King Boar in The Flame in the Flood is a boar... who is as big and as tough as a bear. On the other hand, the White Wolf and Elder Wolf are not any tougher than normal wolves, but are much more cautious and will retreat rather than die to poison or arrows. | |

Pizza Tower has the Vigilante, a cheeseslime in a cowboy outfit who's noticeably tougher than the ones the player encounters. For one thing, his boss fight has him using various firearms against the player and can only be damaged by Peppino shooting at him with a gun, and when he returns in the Boss Rush, throwing Gustavo at him is the only way to leave him open for damage. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider OOO: A Greeed who's lost enough of their Core Medals to be reduced to only their head armor reveals that the body underneath is the same as that of a Waste Yummy, something normally concealed by being decked out in fancy animal-themed armor. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: The final boss of the show, a fusion between Kamen Rider Cronus and the ultimate Bugster, is beaten when the hero realizes that the result is that they're really just one of these: they've become a bigger, scarier version of the virus/human fusions that served as the show's earliest threats, and as such they're easily beaten by the Riders just dropping themselves to Level 1, which was designed for breaking up fusions. Kamen Rider Revice: The Big Bad, Giff, has many varying tiers of mook working under him, but Giff himself most strongly resembles the weakest of these: he's essentially a Giff Junior, the least powerful kind of demon there is, in a flashy gold coat. |

There are lots of Super Mario Bros. examples. Unless otherwise noted, their names allude directly to the enemies they represent: King Bowser himself, who debuted in the original Super Mario Bros., is nothing more than a comparatively giant spiked Koopa. Mecha Bowser (introduced in Super Mario Sunshine) is one to the Mecha-Koopas and Electrokoopas, while Dry Bowser (introduced in New Super Mario Bros.) is one to the Dry Bones. This trope was in fact a factor in his creation; Shigeru Miyamoto once envisioned him as an ox in homage to Alakazam the Great, but his final design came about as Yoichi Kotabe convinced Miyamoto to make the king of turtles a turtle himself. Tryclyde (bigger, triple-headed Cobrat) and Clawgrip (Sidestepper) in Super Mario Bros. 2. The Advance remake adds Robirdo, a mechanical Queen Mook of Birdo. King Totomesu to the sphynx-like Gao in Super Mario Land. Big Boo in Super Mario World, Bigger Boo and Roger the Potted Ghostnote this one specifically represents the Potted Ghosts in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Boolossus and King Boo in Luigi's Mansion and its sequels, Bouldergeistnote this one specifically represents the Bomb Boos in Super Mario Galaxy. The Yoshi's Island series has mostly regular enemies growing due to Kamek's magic (or in one case, namely with Prince Froggy, he shrinks Yoshi instead). Naval Piranha in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Petey Piranha in Super Mario Sunshine, Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha Super Mario Galaxy, and Peewee Piranha in Super Mario Galaxy 2 (all based on a Piranha Plant). King Bomb in Super Mario RPG, King Bob-omb in Super Mario 64. Whomp King and Chief Chilly in Super Mario 64. Big Bully in Super Mario 64, Prince Bully in Super Mario 3D World. Goomboss in Paper Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS (known in the former as King Goomba) and Mega Goomba in New Super Mario Bros.. General Guy (based on a Shy Guy) in Paper Mario 64; Megaleg in Super Mario Galaxy and Digga-Leg in Super Mario Galaxy 2 (both based on a Snifit). Huff N. Puff in Paper Mario 64, a giant Ruff Puff who serves as the game's sixth boss, with his abilities consisting of thunder and lightning attacks, a powerful breath of wind and the ability to swallow the Tuff Puffs that break off him when attacked to restore HP. Kammy Koopa in Paper Mario 64, Kamella in Super Mario Galaxy and Kamek in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the games where it's fought as a boss (he was The Unfought in his debut game, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island). All of them are based on Magikoopas. Gooper Blooper in Super Mario Sunshine. Giant-sized Wiggler in Super Mario Sunshine, Mechawiggler in Super Mario Odyssey. Interestingly, the lone Wiggler that appears in Super Mario 64 and is no different in size and appearance from the normal specimens, serves as the boss of Tiny-Huge Island. Two in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The Shadow Queen is this to Beldam, Marilyn, and Vivian, a much more powerful version of three piror minibosses. Doopliss, a Duplighost who serves as the boss of Chapter 4. Played with in that regular Duplighost enemies are only present in the previous game. Mummipokey (Pokeys), Cheepskipper (Cheep Cheeps) and Monty Tank (Monty Mole) in New Super Mario Bros.. Lakithunder in New Super Mario Bros., King Lakitu in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Many King Mooks are introduced in Super Mario Galaxy, in addition to those of mooks already represented in previous games by other King Mooks: Bugaboom (Mandibug), King Kaliente (Octopi), Baron Brrr (Brr), Tarantox (Scuttebug and Spoing), Topmaniac (Topman), Major Burrows and Undergrunt Gunner (Undergrunts). Prince Pikante (Octopi again), Glamdozer (based on the Pupdozer) and Squizzard (based on the Cluckbooms) in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Boss Brolder (pictured up top) and King Ka-Thunk (unique among most King Mooks in that he's based on a non-living hazard, namely the Ka-Thunks) in Super Mario 3D World. Boss Brolder provides the page image. Mollusque-Lanceur (Gushen, Astro-Lanceur) in Super Mario Odyssey. |

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link has an Iron Knuckle riding a horse, Rebonack, as one boss. He returns as a miniboss down the line. There's also Carock, which looks and attacks like a Wizzrobe but is bigger and faster in terms of teleport frequency, and much harder to hit (that last being something Wizzrobes are good enough at already). Yet another example is Thunderbird, a giant-flying variation of the Fokkeru birds that drop fireballs in the Great Palace. | |

A few mandatory encounters against enemy soldiers in Beyond the Beyond unexpectedly feature these. Two of these guard a specific location and give no outright indication that they border on Marathon Boss status, possessing several times the HP of normal men and capable of one-shotting weaker team members with their arrows. Another one of these guys shows up later alongside regular soldiers, though this time he is noticeably taller than the others. You can be easily smashed by either encounter if you think it'll be over in a couple rounds. | |

The Dramatis Personae for each faction of Mordheim: City of the Damned is essentially a max-level Leader with a unique character model. Merga is a bit of an odd example, because despite being a Magister her model and animations are that of a Sister of Sigmar wielding a great-weapon. | |

Jurassic Park: Trespasser: You spend the vast majority of the game facing off against three different colours of Velociraptor, and the Final Boss of the game, interestingly enough, is just a very large Velociraptor. It's also much weaker than the Albertosaurus and Tyrannosaurus enemies, and just as stupid as all of them, making it rather easy to defeat. The developers intended the boss to be a new dinosaur, but time and budget constraints led to it just being another Velociraptor. | |

In Heroes of Might and Magic games, there are simply too many upgrades for creatures to whom "Queen", "King", "Lord"... is added to count. So, you can end with an entire army of, for example, "Monarch Wyverns". | |

Some of the mini-bosses and bosses in Bug Fables are stronger versions of regular enemies. For instance, Venus' Guardian is a massive version of the Venus' Buds, Ahoneynation is a giant Abomihoney, Heavy Drone B-33 is a more advanced version of Bee-Boops, Dune Scorpion is mechanically-wise a stronger Psicorp, The Watcher is a stronger version of the Haunted Cloths, Primal Weevil is a stronger Weevil, Mother Chomper is a giant Chomper, Broodmother is a huge Midge, Seedling King is a boss Seedling, Tidal Wyrm is a giant (and more scientifically correct) Arrow Worm, Peacock Spider is a boss version of the various spider enemies, and the False Monarch is a cluster of Mothflies. Most of them are capable of summoning their regular enemy versions during their turn. | |

Pokémon: Bosses in the Pokémon Rumble series are simply supersized versions of Pokémon with proportionately higher stats and a larger range on their attacks. They also temporarily become enraged after they sustain enough hits, which further increases their damage, halves the damage they take, and increases their movement and attack speed. They're also accompanied by indefinitely respawning mobs of their lower evolutionary form if they're an evolved Pokemon (Legendary Pokemon instead getting a species of fully evolved Pokémon that shares one of their types as minions). Pokémon Sun and Moon has Totem Pokémon, which have to be fought at the end of each Trial. They're are larger than ordinary Pokémon, have boosted stats, and summon allies to their aid. Oh, by the way, you can't catch them. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Professor Samson Oak will gift you Totem versions of Alolan critters if you find enough Totem Stickers scattered around Alola. Subverted in that the Totem versions YOU get don't have any particularly different stats, but if their species has two regular abilities then their ability is guaranteed to be their Hidden Ability, and they have a larger model and weight more, which influences certain mechanics. The Mythical Pokémon Diancie is what happens when a Carbink (a fairly common Pokémon) undergoes a rare mutation that lets it evolve. In at least one continuity, it rules over other Carbink as royalty. In the actual game, it is impossible to make Carbink evolve into Diancie. In terms of game lore, the Pokemon Vespiqueen is a Queen Mook for the Combee species. Only a female Combee (which is very rare when compared to the male counterparts) can evolve into a Vespiqueen, which is both the Hive and Hive Queen of the Combee in the area. Mechanically, this means that she gets a few signature moves that look like a swarm of combee are attacking, but do damage otherwise normally. In the anime in general, evolved versions of Pokemon tend to act this way to pre-evolved members of their line. For example, in the very first episode, a Spearow that Ash ticked off evolved into a Fearow and called in a flock of Spearow to retaliate. Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces Alpha Pokémon who similar to the Totems above are larger, have way higher levels than the average for the area you're in, unique moves, Glowing Eyes of Doom, and are often surrounded by a pack of their lower evolutionary form. You can catch them, making it extremely high risk, high reward to face off against them. |

Final Fantasy: Behemoth King is the occasional Behemoth upgrade ever since Final Fantasy II. Tonberry King. The Jumbo Cactuar/Gigactaur, which is a gigantic version of the Cactuar enemy, with an upgraded version of its trademark attack that deals ten times as much damage. And a MUSTACHE. The Bomb King. Originally, in Final Fantasy IV, there was a boss called Mom Bomb (although an enemy named Bomb King was also present). In Final Fantasy V, the fifth boss is a tougher, mind-controlled version of a regular enemy Garula. In Final Fantasy VI, Flame Eater is practically a King Balloon, and Dadaluma is practically a King Iron Fist. The bosses each summon the enemies for reinforcements. The Monster Arena in Final Fantasy X is pratically built on this trope. Only one of the roughly thirty Super Bosses in there has an original model. About 90% of the Superbosses in Final Fantasy XI. The Mimic Queen from Final Fantasy XII. The vast majority of the rare monsters and Marks in the game are also giant versions of normal enemies. This is justified, though, as the Clan Primer entries for most of them explain their origins. Most of the rare monsters are explained to be naturally occuring mutant varieties of the normal monster species. Most of the Marks were mutated by prolonged exposure to corrupting magic which also caused them to go Ax-Crazy and attack anything in their vicinity that isn't a member of their original monster species, which is why the player's group is petitioned to eliminate them before they can either disrupt the natural balance and/or pose a danger to nearby humanoid settlements. Recurring franchise Super Boss Omega is also imagined here as a giant Mimic. The majority of the A-rank and S-rank 'hunt targets' in Final Fantasy XIV are versions of normal mooks with increased size, a palette swap, and sometimes just a minor distinguishing feature. For some, the only real difference is their level, the red mark next to their names and the fact that they're about ten times bigger than their fellows. This also applies to a lot of minibosses and even some dungeon bosses, and particularly a lot of Epic FATE bosses. And the Marlboro King from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (and probably more) has an awesome crown and was insanely large at Crystal Guardians: Vanguard Storm. There are other large (3x3 spaces) bosses. Most of them are unique, but the "Crushatrice" and its Palette Swap are simply bigger versions of regular enemies. One of those even turns out to be the mother of the regular ones. Quite a few of the bosses in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles , like the Giant Marlboro in the Mushroom Forest, the Gigas Lord in the Manor, the Lizard King in Daemon's Court, the Orc King in the Mines, and the Goblin Wizard in the Goblin Wall. |

Gary Coleman and Krotchy in Postal 2 aren't straight up bosses, but both are noticeably tougher than any other character in the regular game (not counting Apocalypse Weekend or the new Holiday updates). Krotchy fights with a rocket launcher and is also Immune to Bullets, but not scissors or explosives. Paradise Lost adds a couple unique enemies with better weapons and higher-than-normal health (the PU Games CEO and John Murray, the protagonist of the Eternal Damnation mod, who's worshipping the A/C part at the asylum), but who aren't straight up bosses. | |

Psychonauts: Justified with the Mega Censor where, while in one character's mind, the player destroys all nodes where censors (basically, mental antibodies that normally combat small bits of insanity) would usually come out. Unfortunately, this effective repression leads to a massive buildup of censor energy, which eventually overloads, releasing the Mega Censor. | |

Bosses of this type in the House of the Dead series include the Hermit and Lovers, giant spiders; Strength and the Empress, boss versions of the chainsaw zombies; and Temperance, a giant fat zombie. Inverted by the green ninja zombies in 3, who appear to be a smaller version of the Hierophant boss from 2. | |

Bangai-O Spirits explicitly uses double, quadruple, and even half-sized versions of every single enemy in the game, including those that were already bosses. One stage in the game even has you run through a half-sized, normal-sized, and finally a double-sized version of the Cannonboss. | |

And the Marlboro King from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (and probably more) has an awesome crown and was insanely large at Crystal Guardians: Vanguard Storm. There are other large (3x3 spaces) bosses. Most of them are unique, but the "Crushatrice" and its Palette Swap are simply bigger versions of regular enemies. One of those even turns out to be the mother of the regular ones. | |

The first Metroid Prime has a giant Sheegoth guarding the Wave Beam. The difference: that is the "normal" version. More common, "baby" versions are seen long before the fight. Although adult Sheegoths you fight as regular enemies after that are much smaller, meaning either those aren't fully grown or the guardian one was really strong. There's also Omega Pirate, a King Mook of Elite Pirates, which are themselves Giant Mook Space Pirates. So it's a King Giant Mook. | |

Bioshock 1: Other than the final boss and the Big Daddies, all the bosses are simply normal Splicers with much more health and better resistance against elemental Plasmids. Which sort of makes sense, in-universe, since pretty much everyone started off as normal people, who just abused the ever loving shit out of Plasmids. You could just look at it as that Steinmann (Being a plastic surgeon who had easy access to lots of cosmetic Plasmids) and Cohen (Being that he was close to Ryan, and probably had easy access to ADAM and such) just got shitloads more than most. Rose inverts this for being encountered before the normal Spider Splicers. There's also a mid boss called The Beast Master is basically a mage 3, with heavy armor, more HP and magic immunity. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Triple Trouble has two examples; the Tart Turtle and Giga Thomas "Pen", the respective bosses of Great Turquoise Zone and Robotnik Winter Zone. Both are giant badniks who serve as the leader to their respective species of badnik, the Turtle Badniks and the Penguin Bombers. Sonic or Tails have to bounce on the shells of the Turtle Badniks to propel themselves up to the Tart Turtle, while Pen tries to attack them by launching Penguin Bombers at them. In Sonic Adventure 2, there was King Boom Boo, a much larger (and creepier) version of the small slasher-smiling ghosts that you would sometimes encounter in certain levels. Sonic Mania has several bosses like this: a giant Hotaru miniboss in Stardust Speedway Zone, a giant leaping Caterkiller miniboss in Mirage Saloon Zone, and most infamously, the Mega Octus in Oil Ocean Zone - a large submarine that resembles an octopus-based badnik. |

Bosses in the Pokémon Rumble series are simply supersized versions of Pokémon with proportionately higher stats and a larger range on their attacks. They also temporarily become enraged after they sustain enough hits, which further increases their damage, halves the damage they take, and increases their movement and attack speed. They're also accompanied by indefinitely respawning mobs of their lower evolutionary form if they're an evolved Pokemon (Legendary Pokemon instead getting a species of fully evolved Pokémon that shares one of their types as minions). | |

It's a semi-recurring occurrence in Super Sentai that Mooks would get promoted (and sometimes upgraded) to Monster of the Week. Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman: It eventually turns out that the Batzler Mooks used by the Zone are led by a larger Batzler named Batzlergin, who shows up as the Monster of the Week for one episode. In the second movie of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, one of the challenges the heroes have to face is an army of Mooks from all over the franchise's history. Eventually, the grunts would perform a Fusion Dance into a monster called the Combined Combatant. Very late into Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, Ginis is revealed to be the result of packing thousands of the Deathgaliens' Moeba footsoldiers together. Ginis being exceptionally vain, being reminded of this is his Berserk Button. |

Space Bomber has a literal version of this trope, the "King Alien" as the Final Boss. For most of the game, you're battling regular aliens, floating heads and firing projectiles at you, and then comes the final level, where the King Alien turns out to be a recycled animation of the regular aliens, but expanded at least by five times, and wearing a crown. He's predictably a lot more durable even compared to the helmeted aliens (Elite Mooks which can absorb a lot of damage on their own). | |

Nearly all bosses in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes are this. There's Amorbis (a colossal Sandigger trio), Chykka (an oversized War Wasp), Quadraxis (a giant version of the Quad robots you fought in the preceding level), and the six "sub-guardians" that were ordinary monsters before being possessed by the six Ing that managed to steal Samus's upgrades (Bomb Guardian is a Sandigger that was already one of these before getting possessed; Jump and Boost Guardians are Warrior Ing; Grapple Guardian is a Grenchler; Spider Ball Guardian is a Pillbug; and Power Bomb Guardian is a Sporb). Then there's the Alpha Splinter (which gets possessed too), the optional Dark Missile Trooper, the Alpha Blogg, and Emperor Ing himself. The only bosses in this game that aren't a King Mook are the Caretaker Class Drone and Dark Samus. | |

Valve later added three even more powerful ones-Sir Nukesalot, an upgrade to Major Bomber who uses the Loose Cannonnote and the size of its detonations are humongous, Colonel Barrage, who wields the Rocket Launcher and consistently fires what amounts to a wall of rockets, and Major Crits, a crit-boosted version of Colonel Barrage who wears the Full Metal Drill Hat and is 1.9x larger in size than the other robots. | |

All monsters in Albion have up to 3 variants, with a difference in number, size and color indicating their power relative to their peers. Skrinn 2 and Warniak 2 monsters usually accompany larger groups Skrinn 1 and Warniak 1 monsters in early stages, more or less fulfilling this role. Averted with stronger monster types that appear in the later stages: variant 3 monsters become regular enemies, while variant 1 and 2 become very rare (except for the Skrinn and Krondir that only have 2 variants). There are exactly three Animal 1 demons in the entire game and they all attack individually. Animal 2 demons usually accompany a single Animal 3, while Animal 3 always attack in large groups, and due to a trigger, can spawn infinitely. | |

Minibosses in Bonfire are reskins or Palette Swaps of regular enemies with beefed-up stats and at least one ability changed. Some, such as the Resonant Golem, change substantially from their regular counterparts, while others remain similar in tactics. | |

Doctor Who: The supreme leader of the Cybermen is a customized Cyberman known as the "Cyber Controller". The Cybermen are also often led by a Cyber-Leader, which tends to just resemble a regular Cyberman with part of its head colored black. A more literal example is the Cyber-King in the Christmas Episode "The Next Doctor", which is a Cyberman the size of a building. The Supreme Dalek is a model of Dalek which leads regular Daleks, but physically resembles a regular Dalek with a Palette Swap and occasionally some other minor tweaks to its casing. There's also the Dalek Emperor, the absolute ruler of the Dalek Empire, which is essentially a Dalek in a more grandiose and over-sized casing. |

Pikmin (2001) has Emperor Bulblax, the final boss, which is basically a giant bulborb that happens to be immune to tactics that are effective against bulborbs. Attacking its rear won't work as it has a rocky caparace, and attacking its legs won't work because it will fall on and crush your Pikmin. | |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past features the Armos Knights, the Moldorm King, and the Helmasaur King, smaller versions of which inhabit their dungeons or the area around them. Additionally, Moblins have been redesigned from their bulldog-like appearance in previous games to resembling pigs, carry mini tridents, and have an implied backstory of being former people. This makes them a mini version of Ganon, a monstrous trident-wielding humanoid boar who started as a person. | |

In Duke Nukem 3D, there's the Overlord, which is a giant Enforcer with rocket launchers, and the Alien Queen. Except for a helicopter, a 50-foot coachroach queen, and the final boss, all the bosses in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project are just tougher versions of regular enemies (although most at least have a unique character model and a couple extra attacks). | |

Ragnarok Online has many so called mini bosses which are nothing more than pallet swapped mooks. Angeling and Arcangeling are great examples with both being porings with wings and a halo which can be extremely troublesome if you don't know what you're doing. A dead branched Arcangeling especially with it's ability to teleport and heal can sometimes terrorize a zone for days. | |

Gloom generally has unique end-level bosses. An exception can occur at the end of The Lightless Forest. There, one of the three potential bosses is The Albino Parasite - a tiny white creature that infects a typical nest of the flying creatures, and causes it to sprout spider legs, and generally fight with the abilities of both the Giant Spider and the original nest. | |

XCOM 2 avoids the problem by making its final boss a Wolfpack Boss. The Alien Rulers DLC focuses on a beefed-up Viper, Berserker, and Archon which can invade your ongoing missions. The Rulers have so much health that it takes multiple encounters to slay them, with the rewards being unique suits of armor that can cause panic in the mooks they're based off. | |

Defense of the Ancients: Roshan. He only gets stronger and bigger every time he revives, to the point that the now rarely seen final form is adequate challenge for a full party of level 25 loaded-for-armour heroes. N'aix is another example. Looks like a larger Ghoul, but is much stronger. In previous versions, he was distinguished from the normal ghouls by an aura that could not be removed. More recently, he has also been shaded darker. |

Copy-X of Mega Man Zero, literally. Pantheons come in all varieties, but they're still just weak, mass-produced clones of Mega Man X. Copy-X stands above them all, both as ruler of Neo Arcadia and a far more advanced model. | |

Pikmin: Pikmin (2001) has Emperor Bulblax, the final boss, which is basically a giant bulborb that happens to be immune to tactics that are effective against bulborbs. Attacking its rear won't work as it has a rocky caparace, and attacking its legs won't work because it will fall on and crush your Pikmin. Pikmin 2: The Empress Bulblax is a Queen Mook of bulborbs. Dweevils, a common family of enemies who fight using elemental attacks, have the Titan Dweevil, an immense specimen fought as a boss who uses objects it has hoarded to attack with four different elements. The Pileated Snagret are this to the Burrowing Snagrets, which are Mini Bosses to begin with. The Ranging Bloysternote No, that's not a typo, it is the ranging bloyster to the smaller Toady Bloyster. The Giant Breadbug fought as a boss is this to the normal Breadbugs fought as nuisances. An inter-game example: the first game has the Armored Cannon Beetle, fought as a single boss. The second has Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, as well as Decorated Cannon Beetles, weaker and more common enemies. Pikmin 3: The Scornet Maestro is this to the smaller Scornets it controls, as is the giant Bug-Eyed Crawmad to the smaller, more common Hermit Crawmads. |

Pronty has a recurring enemy called the Chattertooth, and the first boss is a sized-up version called the Silver Chattertooth (who uses an enlarged sprite of the mook version, but with some parts recolored silver). It's expectedly tougher and stronger than it's mook counterparts. Late in the game, you'll face the Golden Chattertooth, obviously stronger than the mook and silver versions. | |

Dead Island: The Final Boss of the first game fights in the exact same manner as the regular Infected; he just has a ton of hitpoints, does double damage, can occasionally dodge certain melee attacks. In Dead Island: Riptide has special named zombies that are simply toughened versions of the normal enemy types. Thirteen of these are optional assassination targets, and several more appear as part of various quests. Escape Dead Island features a hallucination that forces protagonist, Cliff, to fight a zombie version of himself and his follower Linda. These fight like the Spitter and Siren Elite Zombie types, but with heightened health bars. |

The large, psychotic Skaarj with glowing "pseudoinvisibility" effects fought near the end of Unreal, and a fourth (orange) one that escapes from the Mothership Lab, though you don't actually have to fight that one. They were all part of an experiment to mutate Skaarj with tarydium so they would have natural energy shields. Unfortunately it had the side effect of sending them into a constant Unstoppable Rage, so they were locked up. Of course, once the Player Character destroys the generator powering the forcefields... | |

Metroid: The first Metroid Prime has a giant Sheegoth guarding the Wave Beam. The difference: that is the "normal" version. More common, "baby" versions are seen long before the fight. Although adult Sheegoths you fight as regular enemies after that are much smaller, meaning either those aren't fully grown or the guardian one was really strong. There's also Omega Pirate, a King Mook of Elite Pirates, which are themselves Giant Mook Space Pirates. So it's a King Giant Mook. Nearly all bosses in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes are this. There's Amorbis (a colossal Sandigger trio), Chykka (an oversized War Wasp), Quadraxis (a giant version of the Quad robots you fought in the preceding level), and the six "sub-guardians" that were ordinary monsters before being possessed by the six Ing that managed to steal Samus's upgrades (Bomb Guardian is a Sandigger that was already one of these before getting possessed; Jump and Boost Guardians are Warrior Ing; Grapple Guardian is a Grenchler; Spider Ball Guardian is a Pillbug; and Power Bomb Guardian is a Sporb). Then there's the Alpha Splinter (which gets possessed too), the optional Dark Missile Trooper, the Alpha Blogg, and Emperor Ing himself. The only bosses in this game that aren't a King Mook are the Caretaker Class Drone and Dark Samus. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has an interesting variant. The Berserker Lord is a boss version of Berserker Knights. What's interesting is that Berserker Knights are already Bosses In Mook Clothing, and that you fight the Berserker Lord before you encounter any of the weaker Knights. The Pirate Commander is also a boss version of Commando Pirates, essentially a King Elite Mook. In a similar vein, there's also the Steamlord, which is based on the Steambots, an upgraded version of the Tinbots. There's also the Metroid Queen, the ultimate form of Metroid in the entire franchise. In this case, it's the ultimate evolution of a species that comes into gradually bigger and stronger species (Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, Omega and then the Queen). Among the Phazon-infested Metroids, Metroid Prime takes this role instead. |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Boss Bokoblins are giant versions of the common Bokoblins. They are found as leaders of larger Bokoblin tribes and encampments, leading them in patrols or lunging around in camp. When fighting, they prefer to stand behind a line of minions, using blasts of their horns to command their grunts into various formations. Froxes are gigantic, fully-developed specimens of the Little Froxes that roam in the Depths. Unlike their child variants, these are so durable that Link cannot defeat them by hitting their bodies per se, but instead the ore chunks located in their backs. Queen Gibdo, the boss of the Lightning Temple, is the progenitor of the Gibdos that have overrun Gerudo Town. The boss shares the same traits at them, but also the same weaknesses. Mucktorok is a small, yet highly skilled alpha species of the Octoroks capable of vomiting mud, both to attack its enemies and to swim between the puddles to dodge attacks. It can also take the form of a (literal) landshark to swim beneath the floor with agility. The Seized Construct is the largest, most powerful version of the Soldier Constructs fought in the game, and serves as the boss of Spirit Temple (and indirectly also the Construct Factory). It can use the same abilities as those you use when piloting Mineru's Construct body, as well as certain tricks from the Soldier Constructs (such as fusing materials to attack with stronger weapons in the second phase). A similar unit of the boss is also used by Master Kohga during his final rematch. |

Kong: Skull Island: The main antagonists are dinosaur-sized reptiles called Skullcrawlers. The leader of the pack is a Kong-scaled one known as Ramarak. The film also has a Giant Spider. Tie-in material names its species Mother Longlegs. In the book Skull Island: The Birth Of Kong, there is a scene where a whole swarm of them attack humans. They are lead by a giant specimen of them that towers over them. It's so big it rivals Kong himself in size. | |

Terraria: The game has the Eye of Cthulhu (a giant Demon Eye), Skeletron (A humongous skull), Plantera (A giant man eater) the King and Queen Slime (giant slimes), and the Eater of Worlds (an extra-large version of the Devourers). The latter three also are Asteroids Monsters. The Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds, and Skeletron all appear later as even more powerful versions known as the Twins, The Destroyer [of Worlds], and Skeletron Prime, respectively. This makes them King King Mooks. |

Dying Light : The Following has the named "Freaks of Nature" zombies scattered throughout the game world. These are both larger than the typical zombie types, and are often tough enough to withstand several dozen headshots from the most powerful gun in the game, which drops everything else in one headshot). | |

Theta vs Pi 7 has King Pi who is a much larger version of the game's standard enemies. He's much more anthropomorphised than standard enemies however and wears clothing, has a beard, mouth, eyes, hair and a bald spot. There are also several bosses who are physically similar in shape but, while larger than standard enemies, smaller than King Pi. | |

The bosses of Telepath Tactics are nearly always this, since they tend to rely on having larger and more elite armies under their command instead. | |

In Hollow Knight, the Soul Master is this to the Soul Twisters and Soul Warriors. It has the teleportation power and the arcane bolts of both, the Twisters' orbiting magic shield and the Warriors' melee skills, including a teleport + downward attack combo. Other examples include the Gruz Mother (Gruzzer), Vengefly King, Massive Moss Charger, Shrumal Ogre (Shrumal Warrior), Mantis Lords, Traitor Lord (Mantis Traitor), Brooding Mawlek, Flukemarm (Flukemon), Crystal Guardian (Husk Miner and Crystallized Husk), Nosk (Corpse Creeper), Hive Knight (Hiveling), Uumuu (Uoma and Ooma), and Obblobble (Obble). | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: "Jethro's All yours" introduces Jethro, the simplest of all the robots Boxmore makes, which can only roll forward while shouting "I am Jethro!" Near the end of the episode K.O. and Rad have to team up to take on a bigger, tougher version of Jethro called Mega Jethro. | |

The Mythical Pokémon Diancie is what happens when a Carbink (a fairly common Pokémon) undergoes a rare mutation that lets it evolve. In at least one continuity, it rules over other Carbink as royalty. In the actual game, it is impossible to make Carbink evolve into Diancie. | |

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has an interesting variant. The Berserker Lord is a boss version of Berserker Knights. What's interesting is that Berserker Knights are already Bosses In Mook Clothing, and that you fight the Berserker Lord before you encounter any of the weaker Knights. The Pirate Commander is also a boss version of Commando Pirates, essentially a King Elite Mook. In a similar vein, there's also the Steamlord, which is based on the Steambots, an upgraded version of the Tinbots. | |
