Sometimes, when you bring a videogame boss down to its last few hit points, it gets mad and begins adding more powerful attacks to its arsenal or becomes much faster and harder to dodge. The boss may also get an Extra Turn, or become extremely difficult to hit. Simply put, the boss has decided to get serious and the fight's not gonna be so easy from here on out.
Sometimes, this is sequential. The boss turns red at the two-thirds or one-half mark, then when it reaches a third- or quarter-life, turns redder and the effect doubles yet again. If it's a Wolfpack Boss, this trope will often happen when only one enemy is remaining.
Despite the trope's name, it is not to be confused with a boss literally turning red; this may be an indication of Expressive Health Bar, Shows Damage, or Red Is Violent. When a boss Turns Red, it might turn any color, or not even change color at all.
When a Player Character does this, it's a Critical Status Buff.
Compare Sequential Boss and One-Winged Angel, when a boss fight has distinct phases with more dramatic changes.
For when a character literally turns red upon getting angry or embarrassed, which can overlap with this trope, see High-Pressure Emotion.
Has nothing to do with Pixar's feature film Turning Red.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Armogohma makes a comeback after you've seemingly defeated it. However, this "second form" just consists of a group of small spiders carrying its eye around, trying to escape you.

Made very apparent in A Link Between Worlds, where all the Lorule bosses (except Yuga) will not only pause in the middle of the battle and become visibly angry, but flash red (or at least change color) during their second phase.

Bunches of bosses in the Metroid Prime Trilogy do this too. Ridley is one notorious example, as are the guardian bosses from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Jump Guardian, Bomb Guardian, Spider Guardian...) and the final bosses of all three games (Metroid Prime, Emperor Ing/Dark Samus, and Dark Samus/Aurora Unit 313).

MapleStory:
Zakum goes through this twice. He has three health bars, and his sprite looks more and more damaged as each bar is emptied. The more damaged he is, the more he uses an attack that reduces everyone's HP and MP to 1. When he's down to his last health bar, he uses the attack constantly.
Papulatus turns red, although he only does it once. Although the second health bar has very little health and lacks his room-filling magic, he moves extremely fast and flies all over the room. Very deadly considering his Collision Damage is enough to kill anyone in 1 to 3 hits.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, nearly as many bosses do this as well. Gobblegut actually does the whole train whistle with steam coming out of it thing, King Lakitu and Prince Pikante get visibly angry and turn red, Peewee Piranha turns red note but if you approach him from the front, turns and runs away, exposing his weak point, Squizzard brings out two gigantic bomb|shooting cannons, Sorbetti generates red steam when annoyed and gets quicker, etc.

Done a few times in Star Fox 64. The perhaps most surprising example is the robo boss at the end of Sector X, which suddenly comes back to life (even fooling the shield bar). Then again, the fact that he didn't explode like any other boss might be quite a giveaway. The second fight is, however, fairly easy, but you need to kill him fast or he'll hit Slippy, forcing you to play on the easy route.

Boss battles in Hitogata Happa are timed, and if the boss is not defeated when the time expires, it goes into "Error Mode", significantly increasing its attack speed. In addition, you only get one shot to destroy the boss while it's in Error Mode. Die even once (except for sacrificing your dolls as Action Bombs), and it's Game Over.

Dark Chronicle has this with the "Rage counters". On each enemy, there is a series of red tokens over it's health bar, and it's a different amount for each enemy (usually, the lower the count, the lower the relative defense). Every time you hit it or, if you are using a machine gun, shoot it a certain number of times (it's somewhere between 5 and 10), one of the counters goes away. If all the counters go away, then you better start fighting smarter or run, because its attack level will effectively QUADRUPLE!

In the first game, Phantom turned a brighter shade of red and moved noticeably faster right around when you had him at about a fifth of his lifebar. Nightmare chooses to Turn Red after you deplete its life bar for the last time. The formerly slow and predictable (and controllable) machine suddenly regenerates about a quarter of its health, breaking apart into a pulsing half-solid, half-goo mass that pelts Dante with lasers, missiles, and slugs while sucking away his power gauge and trying to eat him.

Most of the bosses in Devil May Cry 4 are examples of this, and do so again when playing on the hardest mode, "Dante Must Die". For example, Echidna the She-Viper; After hacking her lifebar down past the half-way point, not only does her attack pattern change, but the scenery turns noticeably stormier and Echidna herself starts glowing menacingly. Sanctus also visibly changes halfway through the first major battle with him when he decides to occasionally merge with the incomplete Savior.

The Crimson Heads in the Resident Evil (Remake) result when a Not Quite Dead zombie gets back up. They become much faster, stronger, and... red. Hence the name. Can be averted by blowing their heads off or by immolating them. The terror factor of the Crimson Heads will lead to an obsessive compulsion to ensure all zombies either die from headshots or are immolated afterwards.

Parodied in Terranigma. After fighting a Humongous Mecha, and getting him down to a single hit, he launches a special attack. This attack is easy to dodge, and barely hurts at all if you are hit. After launching it (and dying), the robot says "that last attack was not very impressive."

The World Ends with You:
Sho Minamimoto does this after about 1/3 of his health is gone, gaining quicker attacks and permanently staying in his noise form for the rest of the battle.
Vespertillo Canor (the second giant bat) turns into a single golden bat similar to the one Beat and Rhyme defeated a while back. It can only attack you once on each screen for each time it pops up, and has almost no health.

A number of the evilities in the Disgaea series activate either when a character is in critical health or when allies are defeated, granting benefits like increased attack power or evasion, or immunity to certain attack types. The most powerful of them is One-Man Army, which doubles a character's stats if they're the last one alive on their side, which can make them extremely difficult, if not impossible to kill depending how high their stats were to begin with.
This can be (intentionally) exploited by equipping a character with a "Dumbbell", which sets the character's max HP to 25% of normal, keeping them in Critical HP — and, therefore, Turned Red — for the entire fight. One-Man army requires that the other 9 guys on your team be dead first, so you can just bring along 9 cheap, disposable units to use for that purpose (such as lv1 prinnies, who can all be taken out in a single turn and resurrected later for pocket change)...If a character has a "Critical HP" Evility with a Dumbbell, AND One-Man Army, they can be quite the Game-Breaker. One can also use gear/Evilities that increase stats based on how many allies have died for a similar effect.

In Monster Hunter, most large monsters have a "rage" mode that they go into when they receive a certain amount of damage, which increases their speed and damage output and occasionally makes them start using new attacks. However, unlike most of the examples on this page, the monsters in Monster Hunter will eventually calm down over time. A couple of bosses actually become reckless when they get enraged, leaving them vulnerable to abilities which otherwise don't work on them (though the majority of them become immune or resistant to the effects of traps and flash/sonic bombs). Certain monsters like the Gigginox and Deviljho also change their weak spots while they're mad.
Trouble is, the more health they lose, the easier it is to knock them back into rage mode. (i.e. the monster goes into rage the first time after 5 minutes of a beating and calms down; he goes into rage a second time after only 2 minutes). This continues until a single hit will put them into rage mode. This is usually a sign that the monster is about to die.
Some monsters also have additional levels of redness beyond the universal Rage state. The Magala monsters can enter a "Frenzy" when pushed hard enough, for instance. Another example is Zinogre can charge itself with Thunderbugs until it reaches a full charged state, electrifying its attacks; it also never tires out of its Charged state, but unlike Rage, it loses its charge when it's been staggered enough times.
Safi'jiiva periodically enters its Supercritical state when it reaches the bottom floor of the Secluded Valley. While in this state, its attacks are more powerful, but its hide is softer and it gains a massive weak spot in its chest.
Kulve Taroth starts searing the last area of her boss arena when her coat's been taken off. Destroying every part of the coat before this will cause her to enter a third enrage state called Fury, where you get more Kjarr/Taroth weapons if you beat her in this state.
Fatalis is capable of entering a Hellfire Mode on top of becoming enraged, in which its chest starts to glow from the sheer heat of its flames, and all of its fire breath attacks become a One-Hit Kill. Breaking its horn turns the flames down to a manageable (but still lethal) level, breaking its eye disables it entirely.
Bloodbath Diablos becomes so angry due to its sheer rage against humans that its blood literally begins to boil. This makes it even stronger than when it's enraged normally and also enhances its digging attacks with a heavily damaging steam burst.
Some variant monsters, such as Savage Deviljho and Furious Rajang, have the enraged state of the base monster as their default state. They can then have new enrage states on top of that.

Inverted in the amateur RPG Aëdemphia. One of the key mechanics of the game is that anyone under 75% of their health will receive malus to their their stats. Therefore, enemies actually fight at their strongest when they're at full health and become weaker the more damage they receive.

The Old Demon King in Dark Souls III gets stronger at half health, but at critical health performs one final Death or Glory Attack, creating a giant explosion around himself. If the player survives it, the fire inside the boss burns out and he's left helpless and unable to stop the player from finishing him off.

All the blight Ganons in Breath of the Wild do this, as well as Calamity Ganon itself once they reach half their HP. The blights can fire Guardian lasers at Link at that point.
Windblight Ganon activates its Attack Drones and use them to redirect its shots as Link, as well as using them in conjugation with his Arm Cannon to blast condensed air.
Waterblight Ganon rises the water level, forcing Link to fight on four platforms, as well as starting to use Cryonis.
Fireblight Ganon ignites its sword and encases itself in a ball of fire, making it immune to attacks, while being able to launch explosive fireballs at Link.
Thunderblight Ganon charges its sword and shield with electricity, as well as summoning metal rods from the sky to blast Link with lightning.
Calamity Ganon makes itself invincible except for a split second when it attacks and switches some of the types of attacks it uses.

In Ori and the Will of the Wisps:
The Giant Spider boss, Mora, when down to 25% health, shrieks loudly and extinguishes the lights, forcing you to employ the mana-draining Flash to avoid being consumed by the darkness, as well as increasing in speed and aggressiveness.
Corrupted Kwolok floods the arena with water at 1/2 HP, changing his attacks accordingly, and may also smash the ground to expose a Spikes of Doom pit.
The Big Bad and Final Boss, Shriek, destroys the arena floor at 25% HP, requiring you to continually Bash off her projectiles to prevent falling to death.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape has you punching bombs back at the Golgroth, the final boss. Then the roof falls in and you have to fly around shooting it into lava, whilst missiles chase you and said lava rises. Frustrating is an understatement.

Solidus Snake from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. He's relatively easy at first, but once half of his health bar has been depleted, he says, "Very good, Jack, but this is where it gets interesting." He proceeds to shed his tentacles, begins spamming a lunging blade attack that leaves behind a trail of fire, and is generally much more aggressive.

More or less all bosses in the Wario Land series of games do this. These bosses don't all change shape, but it's a universal rule that the closer they are to death, the more furiously they'll attack and the faster they'll move. The page picture is of Spoiled Rotten, the very first boss of Wario Land 4; a harmless eggplant-shaped critter who suddenly turns berserk once you've hit her enough times.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Once Galeem gets down to less than half-health, his core erupts with light like it's a star about to go supernova, and once Dharkon gets down to less than half-health, his eye changes color, turning the sclera from a bright blue to a deep red, his iris from yellow to a bluish-lavender, and his pupil changing to the color of his sclera as if it's bloodshot.

Bloodborne:
Lady Maria is a competent boss with a nice moveset and a lot of speed. Once you get her to about half her health she stabs herself and uses her blood to increase the range of her hits, a la God of War. Get her to about a fourth of her health and she does it again, increasing her range further and causing the blood to burst into flames, causing a lot of extra elemental damage. It's justified as Maria hates using blood magic, so she fights without it until she fears that you might defeat her and unleash the secrets hidden in the Fishing Hamlet.
Also in the DLC, the Living Failures at half health start raining down attacks from the sky, the Orphan of Kos sprouts wings and switches his mother's placenta to both hands, Ludwig remembers he's carrying a giant magic sword, and Laurence at about 90% health expands his moveset with a number of attacks with vastly increased range.
Near the end of his fight, Gascoigne finally transforms into a beast (something he'd been teetering on the edge of for a while), giving him a major buff in strength and aggression.
Martyr Lorgarius becomes significantly more aggressive with a different moveset after you've hurt him enough.
The DLC's Optional Boss Laurence, the First Vicar, starts out on fire and moves on to his legs melting off, spewing lava all over the room.
The DLC also has an inverted example (Turns Blue?) in Ludwig the Accursed/Ludwig, The Holy Blade. He starts the fight as a mindlessly aggressive monster, but when he gets to about half health, he'll scrape together what remains of his sanity to fight you like a swordsman.
The game does this with nearly all of its bosses, though the most notable example is probably Rom, who summons some minions after you attack her unprovoked and then spends the first half of the fight ineffectually backing away from you. It's not until you deal a significant amount of damage to her that she starts really trying to defend herself.

In Guild Wars Factions, Shiro Tagachi will use Meditation of the Reaper, which makes him immune to damage and lasts 30 seconds or until 500 damage has been absorbed. And when it ends, Shiro steals 20 health from each player for every second he was meditating... making it imperative to end the meditation as quickly as possible to avoid a party wipe.

Gaibon from Super Castlevania IV literally turns red and breathes more fire when you halve his life bar; even his partner-for-life Slogra, the Dinosaur Knight, attacked faster when you break his spear. Even more interesting when you consider they both retained this trait after they became normal high-leveled mooks in later games.

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: The True Final Boss starts as a massive, screen-hogging Eldritch Abomination, which only turns out to be its bottom half. And midway in the fight against its top part, it suddenly flares up with a roar, changes shape, and starts the next phase of the fight with plenty of beatings which can easily one-shot your entire party if you're unlucky.

SaGa series:
The final boss of Final Fantasy Legend II starts the battle by firing laser beams, upgrades to an atom smasher after taking a bit of damage, and then eventually just starts launching the atom smasher at the party.
During the final boss of Final Fantasy Legend III, if the player takes a moderate amount of time during the final fight with Xagor, his demonic form opens several mouths. However, for reasons fans aren't certain of, he doesn't seem to get any stronger; in fact, he becomes vulnerable to certain elemental attacks.
The final boss of Romancing Saga 3 creates an eclipse in the background, gains wings, and draws power from one of the four Devil Lords. If you didn't kill at least one of the four Devil Lords before this fight, you're guaranteed to lose at this point — unless the party has nearly maxed-out WP and JP and you use the Game-Breaker (Zo with Dragon God Descent).
In Unlimited Saga, the Sequential Final Boss loses parts as you advance through the battle, losing the attacks related to those parts and starting to use new stronger ones. It also starts to get more attacks per turn. Then, at the final stage, it loses part of its... hmm, head?, and also its weapons (which were power limiters) and turns bright red. He gets a HP refill as well, which means you'll have to hit him a bit before he start losing more LPs again. At this point, all of his attacks are strong and/or painful, the strongest one being called Overkill.

Ys
All bosses in Ys: The Oath in Felghana do this at half health. They gain new attacks which deal even more damage and are usually even harder to dodge than their standard attacks they begin with. Harder difficulties of the game give them another Turn Even Redder mode at 25% health left, giving them more attacks.
In Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, after depleting Arem's first health bar (which is tough and long enough), he gains Powered Armor and becomes even faster, tougher and deadlier. Fortunately, for his final form he is reduced to an easy-to-beat Blob Monster. In Mask of the Sun, after depleting the Centaur's HP half way, he separates from his lower body and goes That One Boss on you. Also in Mask, after depleting Gruda's first HP bar, he turns One-Winged Angel and also becomes That One Boss.
Zava does this in the remake of Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter after you destroy the bat-like things.
All of the bosses in Ys Origin as well, most notably the not-quite Final Boss Dalles, who has three health bars; each with a new form, several new attacks, and new strategies required to deplete them. His final form combines Bullet Hell, Beam Spam, lightning tornadoes, two drones that spawn more Bullet Hell, dropping balls of ice that freeze the ground, and suction vortexes that can suck you in for a brutal crucifixion / giant laser beam attack. All at (nearly) the same time.

In many games of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, bosses tend to turn red. Some start using stronger or different moves, some call for help and so on. Persona 2's Big Bad also changes his dialogue when you talk to him in battle. If a boss starts talking in the midst of battle, it's usually a bad sign.

In Borderlands 2, it's possible to knock the helmet off a Goliath's head. This reveals their hideously mutated heads and angers them so much they drop their guns, regenerate all their health, and attack the first thing they see, friend or foe. They also literally turn the color red. If they kill other enemies in this state, they get bigger, stronger, and tougher, and give more XP when killed.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals has some enemies go berserk after being knocked down. They literally turn red, often use more dangerous attacks, and become much much more difficult to knock down or interrupt. They cool down after a few seconds, so it's recommended to stay out of the way until they return to normal.
The scarecrow enemies are an amusing inversion. Their alternating sleep/fire spells make them Demonic Spiders, but when berserked they'll do nothing but try to smack you with an easily-avoided and pitifully-weak melee attack.

Hans Volter in Killing Floor 2 has this in four stages shown by the light on his chest along with various wires on his body. At first he is adorned in a faint, gentle green glow, followed by a noticeably brighter yellow. Later on these become orange along with his mechanical parts sparking, finally ending with chest light and wires shining a vicious red illuminating him and his surroundings brightly while electrical zaps spark all over him. He also heavily Lampshades, if not blatantly explains these stages by losing his usual cheeky taunting; growing increasingly angry and with quotes at the start of each later stage. On top of all this in his final stage he employs desperation attacks, putting aside his usual tactics of splitting up the team, throwing smoke bomb-like gas grenades causing area of denial and blindness, stalking those who split from the group and using his rifles at range in favor of rushing the closest player and mauling them in long frenzied combos. As well as throwing explosive and corrosive gas grenades absolutely everywhere in all directions, even if those will hurt him more than it does the players, screaming "Die die die!" and the like.

During Meltdown, it summons new Cogs at the end of every turn like in Defensive Strategy, powers up all attacks like in Fired Up, uses two attacks every turn (one from its offensive pool and one from its defensive pool), and applies a permanent Damage Over Time effect that only gets stronger with every turn.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land (and every traditional platformer in the series therafter), all of the bosses get serious and start using new attacks at half health, with a change in size and/or appearance often accompanying it. Some are more notable than others. The Grand Doomer turns red twice: once normally, and a second time at low health that makes him Nigh-Invulnerable. Only Super Abilities could damage him. The Final Boss, Magolor, turns red FOUR TIMES for a five phase final boss fight after the traditional Unexpected Shmup Level. However, these phases are generally divided into two forms: The first three phases that work like the Grand Doomer, then a normal boss fight for the second form. The Superbosses, HR-D3 and Galacta Knight, both have very memorable Turning Red sequences. HR-D3 in the Extra Mode is actually a giant Turning Red scenario: The Egg Engines Boss, Metal General, summons this robot after defeat in Extra Mode. HR-D3 does not have any Turn Red scenarios in its health bar. Because it is partially a Call-Back to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, meaning it has TWO WHOLE healthbars. Then, we have Galacta Knight, who is even MORE of a Superboss than HR-D3, as he isn't even fought in the Extra Mode, but only in The True Arena. He is fought EXACTLY like a normal boss, but instead of his theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra playing, he gets Landia's theme. Until he actually turns red. THEN his own theme music kicks in, he unleashes a combo, and starts using more deadly attacks.

Tales of Vesperia: Practically all of the bosses in the game and throughout the series in general start using new attacks as their HP lowers. They also have an unpredictable version of this in the games where they can activate Overlimit, as it temporarily lets them spam their attacks (On top of sometimes enabling the use of new ones), makes them Immune to Flinching, and permits the usage of their Mystic Arte if they have one. During the fight with Belius, she duplicates herself after taking a good chunk of damage, making an already hard boss battle into a controller-smasher. You can at least get rid of the Shadow version of the boss by relighting all the torches in the arena.

In both Symphony of the Night and Portrait of Ruin, the zombie doppelgängers imitating Trevor, Grant, and Sypha from Dracula's Curse all gain new or stronger attacks when one of their allies fall in battle. Sypha even gains the ability to re-revive Trevor, albeit as a shambling, mostly-dead shell. In the battle with Richter Belmont, once his HP is halved, he'll immediately use Hydro Storm, and become stronger and more aggressive.

Alpha Protocol:
Brayko takes cocaine once you get his health down to 50% (and after that as a regular part of his attack pattern), which temporarily turns him into a knife-swinging, immune-to-stun-and-knockdown madman (well, more so than usual) who runs supernaturally fast and will hunt you down and shank you. Just like in real life. If you have Steven Heck on your contact list, he will spike Brayko's drug stash which means Brayko doesn't get the speed bonuses and damages himself slightly every time he does it.
If you kill his bodyguards Conrad Marburg will flip out and hunt you down for a good round of fistcuffs until you damage him sufficiently again. Despite being a 50-year old man using his bare hands, he's almost as nasty as Brayko in melee.

Super Mario 64 has the Wiggler, which needs to be stomped three times before it gives up the Star, and will run faster after each stomp. And then there's Bowser himself in the Final Boss battle, who will destroy much of the arena after being thrown into the bombs twice. This makes it harder to reach the bombs, requiring the player to have mastered the Bowser Toss to get the final hit in.

Smash TV was all about this trope, with the big boss of each stage covered in ablative amour, and progressing through several stages of aggro as the players unleashed gobs of firepower. The excesses could even be considered a parody.

Sou-Banchou in Tokimeki Memorial 1 and 2. After you've depleted his health to around half of it, he throws away / tears up Kenshiro-style his upper coat (depending on the game) and becomes giant. Upon this transformation, he gains extremely powerful attacks, and in Tokimeki Memorial 2, a Power Nullifier ability that negates your Limit Break if you have one.

Final Fantasy XII:
Every boss will do at least one of: unlocking more powerful attacks, doubling their power and toughness (effectively meaning their lifebar is 150% long), or turning invincible(!) The only practical way to defeat some is to damage them to just above the threshold, and then unleash the characters' one-use-only ultimate combo attacks and pray. When applied to some of the game's wicked optional bosses, things just get ridiculous.
Several Marks gain the hidden ability "CT=0", which allows them to throw attacks at you ridiculously quickly, once they hit critical HP. (It sets the Charge Time of all of their actions to zero, meaning attacks are repeated just as often as their animation allows. Oh, and Haste doubles the animation framerate.)
The player can also turn red if you've unlocked certain augments, with characters having a better chance to unleash a devastating combo when on low health or suffering various status ailments.
By end-game, every single enemy can Turn Red. If their hits can combo, critical health makes their combo rate skyrocket. No exceptions. Most of the beefier enemies (Bunes, Behemoths) have their attack and defense ratings jump by fifty percent. Some (Reavers, Behemoths) unlock powerful moves, and even if you kill them the attack (usually magical and area-of-effect) will still execute. Other scrappers (Abaddon, Crusader) ignore evasion while their combo rate and attack go up. Entites have, at half health, zero MP cost, and then they get more abilities when they reach critical. This all is not counting what powerups the Bonus Dungeon versions of these regular monsters get — and let's not even start with the Rare Game monsters.
Almost every single boss in Final Fantasy III DS has extra moves that aren't used until they lose a certain amount of their health.
Final Fantasy IV had the Calco and Brena dolls, which, unless you manage to wipe out the last few of them at once, merge into the giant Perverse Puppet Calcobrena. Even worse, the dolls have a nasty habit of using Self Destruct when there are only a few of either kind left, which triggers the transformation into Calcobrena by reducing their numbers.
Enuo from the Gameboy Advance remake of Final Fantasy V does a somewhat subtle version of this when he reaches roughly half health; all damage dealt to him is halved and he begins using dangerous counter attacks. This isn't a visual change, but is rather indicated by the message "The power of the Void is increasing!"
In fact, most Final Fantasy bosses tend to have complex scripts that dictates the boss to do different (and usually more nasty) things at lower HP. The ones listed above are just the tip of the iceberg, really (though for most of them, the powerup aren't as obvious).

Every single one of the Primals in Final Fantasy XIV has an attack that will kill you if you don't take steps to avoid it, though they turn red at different points in the battle. Ifrit will drop an Infernal Nail on the battlefield at 50% health which, if it is not killed fast enough, boosts the power of his Hellfire attack enough to kill your party instantly. Titan starts off relatively straightforward, but shortly after he reduces the battlefield size a second time, his heart becomes targetable, and must be broken before he unleashes Gaia's Rage, which will kill your party instantly otherwise (and afterwards, he starts going whole hog on the party, attacking faster and with new moves). Garuda repeatedly unleashes a massive windstorm from the center of the battlefield (at 75% and 50% health), which can only be survived by taking cover behind small rock pillars that she actively attempts to destroy; if you survive the second blast, she unleashes more powerful attacks more frequently. Ultima Weapon, after taking enough damage in its final form, begins charging up Ultima, which absolutely will kill you, no matter how much HP you have, if you don't finish the battle fast enough, though in this instance, when it turns red, it actually stops attacking you.

In the second Golden Sun, the Final Boss is a three-headed dragon. Whenever a head is killed, the boss gains access to more powerful attacks. On the other hand, it loses actions with each head, so that by the time it is down to the last head, it only has 2 actions (like every other boss). It's also using both turns to Beam Spam you and all its attacks are now AOE, so it's not like the fight is subtly getting easier.

This is a central mechanic in Sentinels of the Multiverse, known as "flipping". Classic Mode villains (as opposed to team mode villains, who don't use this mechanic) have two-sided cards, the starting side and the flipped side. Under the proper circumstances, the card flips, changing the rules the villain operates by. Whether the flipped side plays the trope straight or subverts it is a case-by-case basis. Some villains (such as Gloomweaver) play it straight, becoming significantly more dangerous; in other cases, however (such as Baron Blade), the flip just signifies a change of phase in the Sequential Boss fight. In some cases (like the Chairman or Miss Information), you need to flip the villain to actually hurt them at all. At least one villain (the Anti-Villain Infinitor) actually helps the heroes when he flips!

XCOM: Enemy Within has the EXALT Elite Operatives. They're quite unremarkable as far as enemies go, except for their unique gene mod, Adrenaline Rush: when the Operative takes any sort of damage, even Scratch Damage, the gene mod procs and gives them +10% Aim and Critical Hit chance. The nasty part is, this bonus is permanent and cumulative, and doesn't go away even if the Elite Operative is healed back up to full by a Medic. Mismanaging a battle with these foes can escalate badly for XCOM.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky:
Weiss will activate an overdrive chip at low health, boosting his stats.
In the third fight against Rutger, he'll go One-Winged Angel after taking some damage, giving him a slew of new attacks.
The Optional Bosses love this:
The Mother will gain two actions per round — "Do not think I am weak!" Indeed, most players will probably think she was quite easy up to that point.
The second Phobos will summon two clones to help him out when he reaches half health, along with the quip, "You're already barely holding on... What hope do you have?"
God and the Eater each get three powerups. God will summon one flunky, then two, then get a stat boost ("I'll show you the power of your creator!"). The Eater will get two actions per round ("You think you've hurt me? This is only the beginning!"), then three ("You may be strong, but I'll strip your skin and add you to the bone pile!"), then a stat boost (without a quip, oddly).
The Rutger in the expert arena gets a stat boost after taking some damage.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia has the crab boss Brachyura, that pursues you up a shaft. You need to deliberately anger it so that it will break the ceilings that are blocking your way; making it turn red is not an indication of how much health it has left (though it is an indication that you're making progress).
From the same game, Dracula himself will adopt a different strategy later on, replacing his traditional attacks with summoning wolves and bats, draining your life, and actually walking after you.
Blackmore also does this. He's insanely hard already, but then he says "That was quite entertaining!" and attacks more erratically and more dangerously. In hard mode, he never says the quote and starts the fight in that mode. It's not actually that much harder, as he is so difficult anyway.

All of the bosses in Ardy Lightfoot (except Beecroft) do this, though only as an indication that they're one hit point away from defeat. The most ridiculous example by far is the Final Boss, Visconti. After dealing with the apparent final blow while he is red, he suddenly turns blue and changes the strategy of the fight. Dealing enough damage to him in this form turns him back to red, though when you hit him like this this time, he turns grey and changes tactics again! It's not until you hit him when he's red for the third time when he's Killed Off for Real.

Heihachi will do this in Street Fighter X Tekken, should he activate Pandora mode. Usually, the character who you're sacrificing to get Pandora mode will crumple up on the floor and the character receiving Pandora will become a purple/black mix. However, when giving Heihachi Pandora, he simply throws his partner out of the ring and turns red.

One of the earliest examples of this is Space Invaders, where the very last enemy ship suddenly gains an enormous speed boost and descends upon the player in mere seconds! Apparently, this was originally an Ascended Glitch: computer processors at the time had very little power, and rendering all the enemies at once taxed them, making the enemies move more slowly. As the player removed enemies, the processor had more power to work with, and the enemies sped up. It was unintentional, but the idea of the game getting harder as the player progressed was very well-liked by the developers.

Resident Evil:
A number of the Tyrants from Resident Evil, most notably the T-103 Type from Resident Evil 2, have an R-Form: a violent mutation where they become much more powerful and sprout claws, tentacles, etc, at the cost of losing control and developing exposed weak points. They are fitted with Limiter Coats which prevent such mutations (no points for guessing how many times these coats get burned off somehow).
The Crimson Heads in the Resident Evil (Remake) result when a Not Quite Dead zombie gets back up. They become much faster, stronger, and... red. Hence the name. Can be averted by blowing their heads off or by immolating them. The terror factor of the Crimson Heads will lead to an obsessive compulsion to ensure all zombies either die from headshots or are immolated afterwards.
In Resident Evil 4, starting with Chapter 2, Plagas randomly emerge from Ganados whose heads are blown off, and starting in Chapter 3, they can decapitate Leon. At half-health, Bitores Mendez ditches his human legs and monkey-swings around the barn with his Plaga arms, in addition to more craftily using them to slice and impale you.
In Resident Evil 4 (Remake), some Regeneradors will transform into Iron Maidens instead of dying after all of their plagas have been shot.
Similarly, the Adjules in Resident Evil 5 split their heads lengthwise into Silent Hill-style vertical jaws, which can also decapitate the player characters, and the some of the Plagas that emerge from Majini can detach and fly around. Uroboros speeds up significantly and shields its weak points better; the two Exploding Barrels are best saved for this phase (if you're trying to kill it without using the furnace, so you can get its treasure).
In Resident Evil 6, zombies can transform into Bloodshots, in a process directly inspired by the Crimson Heads. The biggest difference is that Bloodshots transform in seconds.

A variant occurs when you fight Iggy Koopa in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2. In both games, he rides a chariot that is pulled by a Chain Chomp. It's not Iggy who turns red when he's stomped, but the Chain Chomp (complete with the sound of a train whistle). The Chain Chomp then lurches much faster until Iggy recovers.

Metal Gear:
The cyborg ninja from the first Metal Gear Solid was incredibly impressive in combat up until you depleted most of his health, at which point he stuck to one feinting punch attack while crying desperately, "That's it! Hurt me more! More! More!"
The BB Corps members in Metal Gear Solid 4 are formidable in their suits, but when the suit is broken their only attack is to hobble around slowly, bouncing, making creepy ambient noise and preying on Snake's epic-level intimacy issues. And also exploding if they grabbed you.
In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden glows red when "Jack the Ripper" emerges. This first occurs when he's pushed too far by Sam and Monsoon's tauntings, and thereafter works as a Super Mode for Raiden in gameplay.

Metal Slug:
Speaking of SNK bosses, Allen O'Neil (an insult-spewing, machine-gun-toting, bald badass who shows up in most of the games) will turn redder and redder the more lead (or whatever) you pump into him. Then he dies, says "See You in Hell!", and recuperates in time for his next appearance.
The end of mission bosses of the Metal Slug series have a tendency to become more aggressive or use more weapons as they become significantly damaged; for example, the Keesi transport plane of mission 1 in Metal Slug 2 starts off by dropping Arab swordsmen to attack you while not laying a finger on you itself, but as it gets a beating, it instead has two Rebel soldiers unload on you with rockets, and the plane itself will start attempting to incincerate you with its afterburners.

Persona 3: Nyx Avatar does this, first by having you fight him through several relatively weak patterns until you get to the Death arcana, when his defense and attack power go through the roof. He takes it even further when he breaks out Moonless Gown. And don't even mention Night Queen to some of the people who've beaten the game... Of course, you can just bust out Armageddon after he shifts to Death, scoring a One-Hit Kill and skipping the second half of the fight.

In fact, almost all of the Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening bosses change their attack pattern or add to it after a certain amount of health is lost, usually 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 of the life bar. Nevan's attack power is directly linked to her health, she summons more bats and lightning bolts in the same move if her health is lower. She also gets the normal pattern changes, including one that introduces a potential insta-kill life draining attack. Cerberus gets bonus points for literally turning red. Vergil also activates his Devil Trigger form if his health is brought down specific thresholds .In final fight against Vergil, this is indicated by him saying "You're going down. AAARRGGHHHH!" Cue utter decimation of the player.

Done in Mario Bros., except that the last enemy on the level turned blue. Thus, killing a blue enemy completes the level. This also happens if you leave an enemy stunned long enough for it to wake up... except they turn green and get even faster when this happens. This also happens more directly with the Sidesteppers, who get angry and move faster the first time they're bumped.
Given a Shout-Out in Golden Sun: Turtles and crabs moving around the field in a coin-tossing game would progressively Turn Red (in the same colors, even) and move faster if hit by the coin.

Virtually all bosses in Cave Story unveil new attacks at lower HP, most notably Omega, who changes his whole attack pattern, and the Undead Core, who, at low health, sticks to a new attack. The elephant-like Behemoths from the Egg Corridor also turn red and stampede if they take enough damage, though this is rarely seen because they're not hard to defeat in the first place.

In Resident Evil 4, starting with Chapter 2, Plagas randomly emerge from Ganados whose heads are blown off, and starting in Chapter 3, they can decapitate Leon. At half-health, Bitores Mendez ditches his human legs and monkey-swings around the barn with his Plaga arms, in addition to more craftily using them to slice and impale you.
In Resident Evil 4 (Remake), some Regeneradors will transform into Iron Maidens instead of dying after all of their plagas have been shot.

Similarly, the Adjules in Resident Evil 5 split their heads lengthwise into Silent Hill-style vertical jaws, which can also decapitate the player characters, and the some of the Plagas that emerge from Majini can detach and fly around. Uroboros speeds up significantly and shields its weak points better; the two Exploding Barrels are best saved for this phase (if you're trying to kill it without using the furnace, so you can get its treasure).

The Silent Hill series does this a number of times. For example, in Silent Hill, the Split-Head utilizes its One-Hit Kill vertical jaws after you blast it a few times with the shotgun, and the God in Silent Hill 3 throws faster and deadlier fire waves when its HP is low.

The Lord of the Rings Online also does this:
The wight-lord Vathar heals fully when almost dead, and starts spawning lots of worms.
Mordirith, who is also undead, heals fully when half dead, and announces that what you were fighting before was just an illusion, then demonstrates a few new tricks.
The Blind One starts spawning clones of itself, all at full health and hitting just as hard as the original.

Path of Exile:
Malachai summons a large homing circle that damages over time once the third of the Beast's hearts are slain and his source of immortality is gone.
Tsoagoth the Brine King periodically stops attacking the player, shrinks the arena with walls of water, and calls down lightning bolts. In his final phase he does the same thing except he doesn't stop attacking, so the player needs to dodge the lightning and his claws with much less room to maneuver.
In the final phase of the Shaper fight, after it's become clear he can't simply banish the player to be slain by his minions, he generates an invincible duplicate of himself that copies most of his attacks.
Once The Elder is bound by the Shaper it becomes immobile and cannot shoot its normal ice bolts or feed on the player, but summons much larger numbers of minions, creates bursts of icy spikes, and casts its delayed explosion and tentacle whip spells more frequently. The more frenetic pace and undirected attacks suggest it's thrashing like a trapped animal.
Sirus comments that he feels alive at the edge of death when he enters his final phase and begins using devastating new attacks, implying the emotionally dead and detached villain is finally giving the situation his full attention.

Dragon Age: Origins has numerous examples, including the Broodmother (who's a real pushover until turning red and summoning lots of mooks) and the Archdemon, who also summons mooks after getting down to about half health. Special mention has to go to the Sloth Demon that traps your party in the Fade in the Circle Tower (Broken Circle part of the main quest). Uses an especially annoying variation of the trope as he assumes a new form when brought to near 0 HP, each with progressively deadlier abilities - and fully regenerated health. And he does this four times.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3: has two Superbosses Nova and Asimov use an exaggerated version of this in their respective battles. Upon the depletion of their health bars, they both trigger the Special Skill Septimal Surge, which not only fully restores their health, it also counts as an attack and causes their entire movesets to get upgraded with new moves and more devastating properties with even their Limit Breaks completely transforming into even more deadly attacks. Luckily, they don't pull it again after being worn down a second time.

During the final boss of Final Fantasy Legend III, if the player takes a moderate amount of time during the final fight with Xagor, his demonic form opens several mouths.

In the web RPG AdventureQuest, the Deery enemy is a small, cute deer that does not cause much damage. It seems pretty harmless, apart from its suspicious resistance to Darkness element damage, which is a trait common to things such as the undead. However, when it loses about half of its HP, it will suddenly undergo a grotesque transformation into a monstrous moose with bones jutting out of its body, growing horns and shaggy fur, with blood-red eyes, and the amount of damage it deals is significantly increased.
The Moglin Uberfreak, as if being a Frankenstein's Monster Moglin wasn't disturbing enough, also does something similar after losing half of its HP.
DragonFable, a related game with the same setting, has Undead Berserkers, which literally turn red and start attacking twice per round once they lose half their health. There's also Splashies, Water elementals which take it a bit further by attacking twice and four times at half health and quarter health, respectively.

Dungeons & Dragons
1st Edition Advanced D&D supplement Fiend Folio. When a quaggoth takes damage and has zero to -5 Hit Points remaining, it starts to fight in a berserk manner and gains +2 to its "to hit" rolls and +2 to the damage it does. When it reaches -6 Hit Points it dies.
In 4th Edition, all creatures have a "Bloodied" threshold, normally equal to half the creature's normal maximum HP. Some Bloodied creatures gain new attacks, a powerup, or special attribute modifiers. For instance, the Angel of Valor can turn his swords into armor-ignoring energy blades when bloodied. Players who choose the right powers for their PCs can become more powerful after taking enough damage to become "bloodied".

Hibachi in the DoDonPachi series. The initial Bullet Hell assault is bad enough, then it becomes a monster that nightmares are made of.
Many Bullet Hell shooters such as the above have evolving bosses. One unique example is ESP. Ra De (from Cave, the same company that made DoDonpachi). There were two types of bosses: mechs and ESPers. Mechs "turned red" in pretty standard fashion like most shooters of the type. ESPers were worse: they buffed significantly multiple times. They had multiple life gauges, and each one you emptied out turned them "redder" and "redder".
If you beat Golden Disaster with Strong Style without dying, you face Zatsuza, an even tougher literal red version of Hibachi. This "Zatsuza" can be easily identified with the nightmarish music in the background once you meet this monster.

Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors will sometimes have enemy generals, usually ones with unique models (IE, playable characters or at least important NPCs). When knocked down or in a defensive position, they may glow for a moment and suddenly buff themselves. They will also often glow for a few seconds before unleashing a Musou attack. Dynasty Warriors 5 deserves special mention. On specific levels, specific characters will be tougher than usual (with a red aura of doom). As they take damage, they give themselves temporary stat boosts (Doubling their Attack or Defense, for example), with the last buff ending in Musou Rage (increased damage, attack speed, and super armor to all but the most powerful of attacks). Ignoring them while they have these buffs doesn't always work, either. They'll just get it again shortly after they run out.

One mission in the Challenge Tower mode of Mortal Kombat 9 has the player, as Noob Saibot, fighting a version of Smoke whose uniform and hair periodically become red.

The Twin Freaks fight in Dynamite Headdy has an interesting take on this. You're running through a maze, Twin Freak chasing you. Normally he's green, smiling, and relatively slow (although he does shoot projectiles). But there are switches in the maze that flip the screen. And in the flipped version of the maze, Twin Freak is red with an angry scowl, invincible, and moving much faster. You have to avoid him until you can flip the maze again and turn him back to green.

Super Smash Bros. 64: While Master Hand himself doesn't change in appearance as his HP lowers, his stage does. The background starts as a night sky filled with shooting stars. When Master Hand's HP falls to 200, the shooting stars stop and poisonous-looking purple clouds fill the area. When it falls to 100, the background turns into a blue vortex. Each background change is marked by a slight power boost, the most obvious being that his Finger Gun attack will fire three projectiles in quick succession instead of one during the vortex phase.note Incidentally, this unique trait makes Final Destination a nightmare to try to play normal matches on in 64, even with a GameShark, much to the dismay of those into Tournament Play; without a boss to connect the background to, it causes the game to crash unless even further hacks are applied. One workaround if not using a full-fledged Game Mod is to combine codes to 1. skip to the final match of Classic Mode, 2. make the Player 2 character in Classic Mode human-controlled, 3. forcibly change Player 2's character ID, 4. change Player 2's stock count, 5. change the time allotted for Classic Mode battles, and 6. change the stage's music, as by default it will only play the ominous-sounding intro rather than the music track the stage is known for.

The Legend of Zelda:
Most boss fights in A Link to the Past have multiple stages (the boss might become faster and more aggressive after taking a certain amount of damage, or Link might have to kill a group of smaller enemies before he can attack the main boss), but the one which adheres most closely to this trope is the fight against the six Armos Knightsnote  fought twice, once in the Eastern Palace and once in Ganon's Tower. At first, they jump around the room in fixed patterns, but when you have killed five of them, the last one turns from blue to red and actively tries to stomp Link.
You know a cucco is pissed off when it does this. In Spirit Tracks, once a cucco turns red, it summons buddies to peck and claw Link to death. Don't ask how to do this. You should already know.
Made very apparent in A Link Between Worlds, where all the Lorule bosses (except Yuga) will not only pause in the middle of the battle and become visibly angry, but flash red (or at least change color) during their second phase.
All the blight Ganons in Breath of the Wild do this, as well as Calamity Ganon itself once they reach half their HP. The blights can fire Guardian lasers at Link at that point.
Windblight Ganon activates its Attack Drones and use them to redirect its shots as Link, as well as using them in conjugation with his Arm Cannon to blast condensed air.
Waterblight Ganon rises the water level, forcing Link to fight on four platforms, as well as starting to use Cryonis.
Fireblight Ganon ignites its sword and encases itself in a ball of fire, making it immune to attacks, while being able to launch explosive fireballs at Link.
Thunderblight Ganon charges its sword and shield with electricity, as well as summoning metal rods from the sky to blast Link with lightning.
Calamity Ganon makes itself invincible except for a split second when it attacks and switches some of the types of attacks it uses.

The Wigglers in Super Mario World turn red when you stomp on them once. Their face turns from happy to angry, their walking speed increases, and they chase the player.

In Halo:
If a Brute/Elite squad leader is killed, the Grunts under their command sometimes turn kamikaze. Similarly, Ultras and other high-ranking Elites will often rush you (pulling out an energy sword if they're equipped with one) when critically damaged, Brutes go berserk when their armor is destroyed or if the rest of their pack is killed, and both species will usually attempt a suicide attack if you stick them with a grenade.
If a Hunter is killed, its bond brother will become much more aggressive. This is particularly the case in Halo 5: Guardians, where a berserk Hunter will start emitting green sparks to signal that it's set its weapon to overcharge mode.

Every boss in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil goes into this mode, picking up a few new stunts. Then, when you kill the boss, it blows up. Several times. But before it explodes, it turns red. And the health meters turn to a garish hot pink when it turns red.

About 80 percent of the Minotaur boss fight in God of War is a simple matter of pattern recognition, blocking, and successfully executing the necessary mini-games. Once you get to that final 20 percent, however, the damn beast loses its armor and starts launching unblockable super-attacks.

Super Mario Bros.:
Johnny Jones, the boss of the Sunken Ship in Super Mario RPG, literally turns red, becomes much stronger, and challenges Mario to a duel when close to defeat (if you kill all his henchmen first).
Super Mario 64 has the Wiggler, which needs to be stomped three times before it gives up the Star, and will run faster after each stomp. And then there's Bowser himself in the Final Boss battle, who will destroy much of the arena after being thrown into the bombs twice. This makes it harder to reach the bombs, requiring the player to have mastered the Bowser Toss to get the final hit in.
A variant occurs when you fight Iggy Koopa in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2. In both games, he rides a chariot that is pulled by a Chain Chomp. It's not Iggy who turns red when he's stomped, but the Chain Chomp (complete with the sound of a train whistle). The Chain Chomp then lurches much faster until Iggy recovers.
Every single boss in Super Mario Galaxy does this. Bowser runs faster, King Kaliente shoots more projectiles and summons more Flameys, Bugaboom turns red and starts flying while tossing bombs, even that friggin' Major Burrows burrows around faster and actively chases the player. And worst of all, Fiery Dino Piranha runs faster, turns more sharply, ignites his tail much faster, and leaves a trail of fire behind, and starts spraying exploding fireballs all over the place. Yeesh.
So did Raphael the Raven in Yoshi's Island.
Averted and downplayed with the sixth boss of Paper Mario 64, Huff N. Puff. Averted: you don't have to deplete his HP during the battle to make this happen, but considering he is a giant living storm cloud, when you see him turn red with anger, it's a warning that he is charging up for his lightning attacks, which deal 12 or 10 damage. Downplayed: when his HP reaches 5 or lower, he won't turn red, but he and his Tuff Puffs will perform an earthquake attack together that ranges between 5-15 HP worth of damage.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga:
The last time Popple attacks you, he teams up with Birdo. If you take Popple out first, Birdo loses it and says "You may have defeated my darling, but that is as far as you go!" then literally turns red and begins firing off her exploding eggs in a more random pattern.
Bowletta turns black once damaged enough, assuming an entirely new attack pattern as well as becoming hazardous to jump on.
Strangely enough, the Wiggler mini-boss in the same game inverts this; by default, it's red and vicious, but jumping on all the segments of its body will turn them, and its head, yellow and sickly, at which point the head can be attacked for damage.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time has Princess Shroob quite literally Turn Red in her boss fight, making her attack more quickly and more often.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story features a heroic (well, kinda) example: Bowser gains a status buff called 'Fury' when he gets hit too many times, which makes him turn red and increases his damage output at the cost of him also taking more damage.
In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and the remakes of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, most bosses will do this literally at half HP (with accompanying steam), which makes their attacks harder to avoid, more damaging, and more frequent. When facing multiple opponents, this is based on combined HP, and affects all of them.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, nearly as many bosses do this as well. Gobblegut actually does the whole train whistle with steam coming out of it thing, King Lakitu and Prince Pikante get visibly angry and turn red, Peewee Piranha turns red note but if you approach him from the front, turns and runs away, exposing his weak point, Squizzard brings out two gigantic bomb|shooting cannons, Sorbetti generates red steam when annoyed and gets quicker, etc.
The Phantamanta in Super Mario Sunshine splits into smaller and faster parts when sprayed with enough water — getting every part down to its smallest level makes the manta rays turn reddish pink and chase you instead of just floating about.
Mario Party: The boss fights in Mario Party 9, Island Tour, 10 and Star Rush use this trope when the bosses' health gets below half. They'll begin with throwing a tantrum, and will either attack/move faster or have new attacks.

As if it wasn't difficult enough to get and fight it, the TzTok-Jad monster in RuneScape calls a slew of healers the moment he hits half Hit Points. And if the player can't take him or them fast enough, they will heal him to max health, and reappear when he is at half HP again.

All bosses in Ys: The Oath in Felghana do this at half health. They gain new attacks which deal even more damage and are usually even harder to dodge than their standard attacks they begin with. Harder difficulties of the game give them another Turn Even Redder mode at 25% health left, giving them more attacks.

Final Fantasy IV had the Calco and Brena dolls, which, unless you manage to wipe out the last few of them at once, merge into the giant Perverse Puppet Calcobrena. Even worse, the dolls have a nasty habit of using Self Destruct when there are only a few of either kind left, which triggers the transformation into Calcobrena by reducing their numbers.

All monsters, bosses included, in Final Fantasy XI will begin to use their special attacks more frequently (every time their TP hits 100, as opposed to randomly between 100TP and 300TP) when their HP is below 25%. Bosses frequently use their job's 2-hour ability at specific HP points, sometimes more than once or for more than one job, and may begin using more dangerous special attacks at low HP. Certain notorious monsters in particular will increase dramatically in strength and defense after a time, but this is determined by actual time elapsed and not HP loss, and is meant to make it difficult for players to hold a monster to relocate its respawn time into their own time zone. This isn't intended as difficulty increase, as more often than not they become impossible to defeat when this happens until they kill all attacking players and regenerate to full health.

Donkey Kong:
Most of the Kong bosses in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (except, ironically. the last one) trigger a cutscene at half-health of them yelling. After that point, the boss gets slightly faster/harder and sometimes uses a different tactic.
Donkey Kong Country: Queen B does this, zigzagging around the screen faster after every hit.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: Kruncha. The boss adjusts attack patterns and gets progressively harder after each hit.
Donkey Kong Country Returns: Both Mugly and Thugly progress through three stages as you fight them; both turn red and crank up their attacks in the third stage.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Most bosses in the game. The fifth boss, Bashmaster, has an interesting justification. His boss arena is set in a pool of juice, so every time the Kongs hit him, they knock him into the pool, dyeing his fur darker each time.

Mafia goons in A Hat in Time turn red when they're down to the last of their four health points, making them invulnerable to standard ground-based melee attacks.

The final boss of Romancing Saga 3 creates an eclipse in the background, gains wings, and draws power from one of the four Devil Lords.

A few final bosses in The King of Fighters series have been known to do this, most notably Rugal in '94 and Krizalid in '99. They go easy on you in the first round (Rugal, for example, uses no special moves at all), but after you beat them once they get back up, stop playing around and unleash their full power on you. This isn't all that common in the series, with the majority of bosses just flattening you at full power in a single round (Rugal never goes easy on you again in any of his subsequent appearances).

A great number of bosses in Aquaria fit this trope to a T. Nautilus Prime literally turns red and gets faster; Mithala shoots bigger and faster shots; the Sun Worm moves faster and messes with the water level more; and the Sunken City boss gets really, really mad.

The last boss of Dragon Quest IV/Dragon Warrior IV, Necrosaro, does this seven times during the battle. In the original NES version, it's the only enemy sprite in the entire game with animation. After you destroy its arms and head, another face emerges from its torso. As you damage it further, it sprouts new arms, bigger legs, and to top it all off, a second head with three eyes. In the Playstation/DS remake, it has extremely detailed animations for each transformation.

White Knight Chronicles. Every boss. Every single boss has an enrage mode where they turn red and do far more damage after you dare to hit them a few times. Because this is based on how many times you damaged them and not their overall health they can enrage multiple times in one fight, making them some of the pissiest bosses in any game ever. To add to the effect many bosses will throw visible tantrums when entering enrage mode.

Devil May Cry:
In the first game, Phantom turned a brighter shade of red and moved noticeably faster right around when you had him at about a fifth of his lifebar. Nightmare chooses to Turn Red after you deplete its life bar for the last time. The formerly slow and predictable (and controllable) machine suddenly regenerates about a quarter of its health, breaking apart into a pulsing half-solid, half-goo mass that pelts Dante with lasers, missiles, and slugs while sucking away his power gauge and trying to eat him.
In fact, almost all of the Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening bosses change their attack pattern or add to it after a certain amount of health is lost, usually 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 of the life bar. Nevan's attack power is directly linked to her health, she summons more bats and lightning bolts in the same move if her health is lower. She also gets the normal pattern changes, including one that introduces a potential insta-kill life draining attack. Cerberus gets bonus points for literally turning red. Vergil also activates his Devil Trigger form if his health is brought down specific thresholds .In final fight against Vergil, this is indicated by him saying "You're going down. AAARRGGHHHH!" Cue utter decimation of the player.
Most of the bosses in Devil May Cry 4 are examples of this, and do so again when playing on the hardest mode, "Dante Must Die". For example, Echidna the She-Viper; After hacking her lifebar down past the half-way point, not only does her attack pattern change, but the scenery turns noticeably stormier and Echidna herself starts glowing menacingly. Sanctus also visibly changes halfway through the first major battle with him when he decides to occasionally merge with the incomplete Savior.

Pikmin 2: The Waterwraith, a humanoid blob of water attached to steamroller-like wheels, does this when you finally get a fair battle against it. When its health hits zero the wheels explode into dust and the "Boss Defeated" music begins to play, but then cuts itself off and flows into an eerie-yet-comical version of the boss theme while the Waterwraith, alive but disarmed, begins panicking and running around the arena, trying to get away from you. It can't even hurt you at this point, and chasing it down and killing it is highly satisfying.

Bosses in One Piece: Unlimited Adventure do this, but Eneru takes this a step further: after his HP is depleted, he restarts his heart (something he does in the original series), making you fight him all over again this time with more bolts of lightning falling from the sky. Rob Lucci does the same thing he did in series. After beating down his unassuming-looking human form, he uses the Cat-Cat Fruit (Model Leopard) and turns into a super-dangerous leopard-man.

Pokémon:
The abilities Overgrow, Blaze, Torrent, and Swarm power up Grass-, Fire-, Water-, and Bug-type moves respectively by 50% when the wielder's HP is ⅓ of it's max.
Drampa's signature ability, Berserk, gives it a +1 boost to its special attack stat when its health goes below half.
There are a number of berries that, when the HP of the Pokemon that holds it goes below 25%, will give a beneficial effect. Most of these are raising a specific stat by one stage, but other examples include increasing the chance to land a Critical Hit or allowing the Pokemon to move first on its next turn.

Tekken:
In Tekken 6, all characters will enter Rage mode at low health, but the boss will actually begin to glow cherry red when he's losing, and can kill you with one hit you at that point.
Heihachi will do this in Street Fighter X Tekken, should he activate Pandora mode. Usually, the character who you're sacrificing to get Pandora mode will crumple up on the floor and the character receiving Pandora will become a purple/black mix. However, when giving Heihachi Pandora, he simply throws his partner out of the ring and turns red.

The trend to modify bosses' attack patterns once they're down to 1/2 or 1/4th of their hitpoints continues in the sequel series Mega Man Zero. Special mention goes to the guardians, who not only change patterns, but gain an attack that makes them invincible until they complete it. Moreover, they are covered in flame, which makes it impossible to jump them without climbing a wall, which none of their areas have.

Also, in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (and its Wiimake), the third boss, Gelg Bolm, turns red when you damage it enough. It becomes a lot faster and aggressive in this state, and the weapon it sends after you (a giant peach... thing) is a lot bigger than the first one it sends out earlier in the fight.

Killian's jump jet in Perfect Dark Zero starts burning you with its engine flames (which takes off at least half your health and ignores armor) once you've damaged it significantly, as well as launching missiles more often. And when you beat it, it tries to take you down with it.

In both Mega Man X8 and Mega Man 11, bosses would gain a new attack at around 1/2 to 1/3 of their health (11 justifying it with them activating their respective Power/Speed Gear, which can only to be activated in short bursts or else they'll overheat.)

The Dark Ascension expansion in Magic: The Gathering introduces a new ability called Fateful Hour. Cards with this ability become more powerful than normal provided you have less than five life.
The Innistrad block features Undying. When a creature with Undying dies, it returns to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it (i.e. stronger), provided it didn't already have one, otherwise it dies for real.
The card Fungusaur (and Fungus Sliver as well as others) become more powerful the more damage they're dealt. Note that damage is removed at the end of each turn, but they get to keep their redness.

God Eater:
Hannibal (and its more powerful variant Corrosive Hannibal) gains access to a new attack where it levitates and hits you repeatedly with pillars of fire when you break the scale on its back. Much truer to this trope, the Arda Nova (and its stronger variant) becomes much faster and gains access to a completely different moveset if (and it's difficult not to) you take down its male half first.
The larger Aragami* Minibosses, at least can go berserk after taking enough damage. They become faster, more aggressive, and may use special attacks.

All of the bosses in Ys Origin as well, most notably the not-quite Final Boss Dalles, who has three health bars; each with a new form, several new attacks, and new strategies required to deplete them. His final form combines Bullet Hell, Beam Spam, lightning tornadoes, two drones that spawn more Bullet Hell, dropping balls of ice that freeze the ground, and suction vortexes that can suck you in for a brutal crucifixion / giant laser beam attack. All at (nearly) the same time.

Lady Maria is a competent boss with a nice moveset and a lot of speed. Once you get her to about half her health she stabs herself and uses her blood to increase the range of her hits, a la God of War. Get her to about a fourth of her health and she does it again, increasing her range further and causing the blood to burst into flames, causing a lot of extra elemental damage. It's justified as Maria hates using blood magic, so she fights without it until she fears that you might defeat her and unleash the secrets hidden in the Fishing Hamlet.

Jade Empire:
Emperor Sun does a version of this — however, instead of getting pissed, he gets desperate (complete with a cut scene showing his waning powers) and starts switching around his defences faster than before (ensuring the player has to change attack style with EVERY HIT in order to get around his immunities).
Master Smiling Hawk will magically drain the life of one of his followers when he hits half health, getting a couple of new fighting styles — and all his health back. (But he's not exactly hard to beat anyway!)

Zero from Sonic Adventure does this if Amy hits him too many times when it's chasing her. When you fight it for the last time, it will also turn red every time it takes damage.
The Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2 does this by changing its attack pattern ½ the way through and ¾ the way through.

The bosses in the first Breath of Fire I game will recharge a sliver of life, which takes more time and effort than the entire previous life bar to get rid of. The later games 'solved' this by hiding life bars of enemies you haven't beaten before. Some, in particular the Grimlin and Horntoad, would "get mad" at the party and ruthlessly spam hit-all magic attacks that became harder to cope with, as there was only one cure-all spell in the game (and it was unlikely the player would have learned it at either point in the game).

In Granblue Fantasy, several bosses gain/trigger new attacks whenever they pass a certain threshold. Of particular note is Bahamut. The battle starts with Bahamut restrained like in his SR Summon. Once he reaches 50%, he breaks those restraints, transforming into its SSR Summon form, and the orchestral boss music suddenly turns into an epic power metal ballad.

Mega Man Powered Up gave every boss a special attack that turned the boss invincible, did huge damage unless dodged, and would be used on the player any time the boss was under half health.
In general, not too many bosses from Mega Man did this, but for the arcade games, they all did. Typically, this would be a feature of a given game's Wily Machine.
Starting with Mega Man 7 and the Mega Man X series, bosses reacted differently to their weakness. Some of them would appear to enter a special invulnerable animation, then unleash their special attack.
In Mega Man X3, every boss will Turn Red at 50% health, either changing the battlefield (Gravity Beetle will open a persistent black hole at the top of the room that affects jump physics and injures X if he touches it), or adding a new attack to their pattern (Tunnel Rhino gets an invincible dash attack).
In Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, the Robot Masters changed their palettes, changed their patterns and made them faster.
In both Mega Man X8 and Mega Man 11, bosses would gain a new attack at around 1/2 to 1/3 of their health (11 justifying it with them activating their respective Power/Speed Gear, which can only to be activated in short bursts or else they'll overheat.) X8 even changes the music when they enter this phase.

In Chrono Trigger, the Gold Eaglets in 65,000,000 BC do this literally. There's also Mother Brain, who will go berserk if you destroy her healing monitors. She gradually gains boosts to her attack and defense, meaning she'll become literally impossible to kill if you let the battle drag on too long. These aren't the only examples, of course, but they're the most notable.

Gilgamesh in Final Fantasy V, when you fight at Exdeath's/X-death's castle halfway through his health he transforms into a more menacing form, wielding what he believes to be the ultimate sword, Excalibur. But in reality the sword is the fake, significantly underpowered Excalipoor, causing very little damage. Then he is banished to another dimension. Instant win.

There are many bosses who do this in Final Fantasy X. There was Seymour Flux, who ushered in the devastating "Total Annihilation" attack after whittling his HP down to 35,000. There was also Braska's Final Aeon, who pulled a giant sword out of his stomach after doing enough damage.

When it gets low on health, the Gargoyle boss in Castlevania: Bloodlines stops its ranged attacks and repeatedly attempts to slam into you. This actually makes the fight easier — the attacks become slower and easy to dodge, and you can get more hits in because it's no longer zooming out of range. You just need to account for the small, spinning arena, which constantly changes so as to pull you toward the boss.

Most of the Kong bosses in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (except, ironically. the last one) trigger a cutscene at half-health of them yelling. After that point, the boss gets slightly faster/harder and sometimes uses a different tactic.

Boktai:
Sabata does this in Boktai. Once you empty his life-bar he replenishes all his health, knocks out the lights, and gains a couple new attacks.
In Boktai 3, he does this a solid five times during the fight. Each time you deplete a fifth of his health, his attack pattern changes completely and he gets more powerful.

There are a number of berries that, when the HP of the Pokemon that holds it goes below 25%, will give a beneficial effect. Most of these are raising a specific stat by one stage, but other examples include increasing the chance to land a Critical Hit or allowing the Pokemon to move first on its next turn.

In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga, some enemies have a type of move that effectively gives them two to four free actions. Random encounter enemies will often use it when they are the last one remaining, and bosses use it at certain points to power up and kick your ass. That being said, not all enemies have the courtesy to wait before turning red before using that kind of move. While most enemies of this kind are generally courteous enough to avoid using it more than once per attack phase, at least one boss, Mot, is infamous for being fully capable of spamming this move as his turns dwindle, increasing his magical power, and using a high-damage move that cannot be resisted. You can predict what happens because of this.

And worst of all, Fiery Dino Piranha runs faster, turns more sharply, ignites his tail much faster, and leaves a trail of fire behind, and starts spraying exploding fireballs all over the place.

Many bosses in The Guardian Legend:
Grimgrin. When you get his health down significantly, he turns orange and starts churning out projectiles like crazy, creating somewhat of a Bullet Hell situation.

No More Heroes: Every boss becomes more aggressive with depleted health. Some learn new attacks, while others employ new tactics. The first boss from the first game, for example, triplicates himself. These "new attacks" are, in a couple of cases (Shinobu most comes to mind), unblockable insta-kill attacks which can only be avoided if the player has memorised the pose the boss takes, and knows they have to run away as fast as possible whenever they see this boss doing this.

Most boss fights in A Link to the Past have multiple stages (the boss might become faster and more aggressive after taking a certain amount of damage, or Link might have to kill a group of smaller enemies before he can attack the main boss), but the one which adheres most closely to this trope is the fight against the six Armos Knightsnote  fought twice, once in the Eastern Palace and once in Ganon's Tower. At first, they jump around the room in fixed patterns, but when you have killed five of them, the last one turns from blue to red and actively tries to stomp Link.

Fatal Frame allows bosses and certain regular ghosts to do this in the various games. In Fatal Frame II, it's called Dark Return and the ghost glows with a purple aura, recovers half of their health and becomes much faster and stronger. Fatal Frame IV has them 'bloom', causing their faces to become distorted, which makes them stronger and more difficult for the filament at the top to spot them immediately.

In the indie game Battleships Forever, ships go gradually weaker when armor plates, modules and gun turrets are chipped while not upgrading their remaining ones, sometimes resulting ships unable to attack the opponent after all.
The game it was based on, Warning Forever, didn't behave the same. Some otherwise empty sections (including the core) would fire bullets in a spread pattern if nothing is attached to them.

In Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, the bosses literally become a reddish tint and attack faster and stronger after certain HP depletion. Especially lethal since it's really easy to forget that this happens, and it throws off the timing you've established that far. It's the same in Rune Factory 2. In Rune Factory 3, the bosses begin to flicker black and gain an extra-powerful attack.

Klonoa:
Every boss in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil goes into this mode, picking up a few new stunts. Then, when you kill the boss, it blows up. Several times. But before it explodes, it turns red. And the health meters turn to a garish hot pink when it turns red.
Also, in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (and its Wiimake), the third boss, Gelg Bolm, turns red when you damage it enough. It becomes a lot faster and aggressive in this state, and the weapon it sends after you (a giant peach... thing) is a lot bigger than the first one it sends out earlier in the fight.

Fraxy allows an event to check the HP of the weakpoint. If HP of weakpoint is less than 50%, play (Insert all the nasty attacks here.)
Some designers make the boss Turn Red more than once, leading to a Sequential Boss (sort of: the boss's multiple forms all have the same health bar). Often involves One-Winged Angel as well.
And now, there's two new types of bosses that turn red: "Hard Mode/What If?" Bosses and "Death Label" bosses. Hard mode bosses have secret forms/attack patterns that activate after the player does something, such as not dying or shooting the boss's tail. "Death Label" bosses are just the regular boss, just faster, deadlier, and maybe possessing more forms.

The titular Jotun all do something at about half health, whether it's gain a new attack, change the properties of their existing attacks, or change the properties of the arena. Jera outstretches her roots to box the player in and set them up for her overhead smash, Fé begins summoning larger and larger dwarves to her aid and causes pillars to rise out of the ground that rain damaging debris on the arena if broken, Kaunan gains a rapid three-in-a-row jumping smash and all of his attacks start causing exploding fissures across the arena, Isa turns the floor to ice, Hagalaz creates a double of herself, and Odin starts summoning the other Jotun to perform an attack, first one at a time, then eventually up to three at a time as his health gets lower and lower.

This is Kracko's schtick in the Kirby franchise. You'll fight him as a weird eye thing, eventually empty his life meter... and then (mid-fight Taking You with Me fake-out optional) face a whole 'nother life meter's worth of battle against him, now with his trademark cloud and lightning attacks.
Kracko's hardly the only one. In at least three games, Whispy Woods becomes more aggressive after halving his lifebar — in one instance, he actually uproots himself and starts to chase you. Acro also does it in his two appearances in the franchise.
King Dedede does this in Kirby's Dream Land 2, initially being drowsy and sluggish, but after being damaged enough, he'll start flying into a rage periodically, turning red, emitting steam, and using faster, powered-up versions of his attacks that have explosive aftereffects.
The Optional Boss/True Final Boss Dark Matter does this in nearly every game it's in, too. One moment you're fighting a cloud of black smoke, the next you're up against a giant bleeding eye.
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land (and every traditional platformer in the series therafter), all of the bosses get serious and start using new attacks at half health, with a change in size and/or appearance often accompanying it. Some are more notable than others. The Grand Doomer turns red twice: once normally, and a second time at low health that makes him Nigh-Invulnerable. Only Super Abilities could damage him. The Final Boss, Magolor, turns red FOUR TIMES for a five phase final boss fight after the traditional Unexpected Shmup Level. However, these phases are generally divided into two forms: The first three phases that work like the Grand Doomer, then a normal boss fight for the second form. The Superbosses, HR-D3 and Galacta Knight, both have very memorable Turning Red sequences. HR-D3 in the Extra Mode is actually a giant Turning Red scenario: The Egg Engines Boss, Metal General, summons this robot after defeat in Extra Mode. HR-D3 does not have any Turn Red scenarios in its health bar. Because it is partially a Call-Back to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, meaning it has TWO WHOLE healthbars. Then, we have Galacta Knight, who is even MORE of a Superboss than HR-D3, as he isn't even fought in the Extra Mode, but only in The True Arena. He is fought EXACTLY like a normal boss, but instead of his theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra playing, he gets Landia's theme. Until he actually turns red. THEN his own theme music kicks in, he unleashes a combo, and starts using more deadly attacks.

Quite a few bosses in the Mother series do this:
The Carbon Dog from EarthBound (1994) transforms into Diamond Dog after he has taken some damage, gaining a noticeable Defense boost, twice the hit points, a Shield, and an attack that can diamondize party members.
Mother 3:
Lil Miss Marshmallow literally goes into a Pissy Boss Mode when you do enough damage to her, changing appearance from mildly agitated to downright infuriated, and revealing her multitude of concealed weapons.
When Boney sniffs the Steel Mechorilla, it claims that it smells "weak against thunder!" Unfortunately, using PK Thunder too many times on the Mechorilla makes it go berserk, at which point you're screwed, as it starts spamming an attack that hits the entire party for twice the damage its normal attacks deal.
Miracle Fassad undergoes a huge case of this, changing his combat style from spamming status effects to nuking you with Omega level PSI attacks that deal borderline One-Hit Kill level damage.

In Sundered, every single boss gains more attacks and fights more aggressively as its health goes down, and at 50% health they use a one-off attack that covers most of the screen. The Dual Boss Legion and Salvation is a literal example: whenever the player knocks one of them out, the other turns red, becomes invincible, and attacks relentlessly until the defeated one revives itself.

The Mega Man X series tends to like this. Starting from Mega Man X2, you can expect bosses to do something nastier/cooler if they're more than half down on their health. Possibly another upgrade when they're down to a quarter.
The Big Bad gets bonus points for gradually turning red. And then, there's that boss who turns blue instead.
X8 takes this even further by giving the bosses a Desperation Attack, during which they are completely invincible. Special notice to the true final boss, who will gain a desperation attack that ends the fight in 30 seconds unless you kill him. To do so requires breaking 3 shields and removing the last of his health — no small feat ordinarily, but doing it without the combo attack is truly impressive.
The trend to modify bosses' attack patterns once they're down to 1/2 or 1/4th of their hitpoints continues in the sequel series Mega Man Zero. Special mention goes to the guardians, who not only change patterns, but gain an attack that makes them invincible until they complete it. Moreover, they are covered in flame, which makes it impossible to jump them without climbing a wall, which none of their areas have.

In many games in the Pac-Man series, the red ghost (named either Blinky or Clyde depending on the game) will start moving faster when there are only a few dots remaining in the maze. Some games, such as Pac-Mania and Pac-Man Arrangement (1996), will have a visual indicator of this change, as his eyes will change to an angry shape when the speed increase happens.

In Voidigo, every boss has two stages: a normal stage, and a void-corrupted stage where the Void supercharges them as a last-ditch effort to kill you. The corrupted bosses are very aggressive, mobile, and have new attack properties, but also have less health and seem to be less accurate.

Many Raiden bosses. Some, such as the Base on Wheels boss in the first game, up their firepower when you destroy their optional parts. In the fourth game, several of the bosses turn red multiple times. Raiden II's fifth boss (That One Boss to many players) literally turns red in its third form.

Popular in the Rayman series:
In Rayman, Mr. Dark starts turning into some of the previous bosses mashed together as he gets lower on health.
Rayman 2: The Great Escape has you punching bombs back at the Golgroth, the final boss. Then the roof falls in and you have to fly around shooting it into lava, whilst missiles chase you and said lava rises. Frustrating is an understatement.
In Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, the final boss is incredibly hard to fight at the start. He then destroys half the arena, and things just start getting worse from there....

Muramasa: The Demon Blade :
Every boss does this multiple times, partially because they can soak up a LOT of damage before being defeated. Each time you knock a boss' primary health bar down to zero, it gets angrier and its attack pattern changes.
A weird example is Ippondatara: You start with fighting his foot from the sky, then after a while you're carried up where you're confronted with his torso (which has more dangerous attacks). However during this phase you can turn him in the harmless Inosasao and deal a lot of damage to him.

In Ristar, most bosses change color multiple times as you damage them, sometimes speeding up gradually as this happens, but the boss of Planet Undertow, a shark that you fight in a water-filled cave, features an interesting twist on this trope. Each time you damage it, it knocks out a plug in the floor of the cave and some of the water drains out, leaving you with a progressively smaller space to fight in.

Wario World:
All Wario World bosses become faster and more aggressive when they're close to death, but the first, of Greenhorn Forest, Greenfist does this in another way. While he's practically docile by default, a few punches from Wario will make him literally turn red as he briefly becomes invincible and chases Wario around while swinging wildly. Wario can only avoid him until he cools off and can be punched a few more times and stunned.
Red Brief J gains more attacks and his charging attack becomes more lethal as he loses health. Captain Skull is a pushover until he loses half his health, in which case Wario's punches have no effect, and stunning him is much harder.

DragonFable has a few normal enemies that get noticeably stronger when they drop below a certain amount of health; the best example is the undead berserkers, which literally turn red. The boss fight against Greed will involve Greed getting pissy and killing you if you let the fight drag out for too many turns, and the Hopeless Boss Fight against a newly dragon-fied Drakath is still Unwinnable by Design even if you've managed to whittle his health down to around 8,000 or below because he turns red.

Starting with the 6th installment of the Touhou series, most bosses will use one or more Spell Cards, usually when their current health bar is down to less than a half. (Starting with the 7th game, Perfect Cherry Blossom, the portion of the health bar where the boss will activate a Spell Card is in red.) When a boss uses a Spell Card, the background changes, and the boss's portrait is flashed on the screen. Spell Card attacks tend to be harder than regular attacks and usually make the boss's health bar drain much slower. However, defeating a Spell Card attack by draining the red portion of the boss's health bar before time runs out (or simply surviving the countdown, for Spell Cards that make the boss temporarily invincible) without getting hit by a single bullet or using a bomb awards the player a considerable score bonus.
Some bosses will also do this in the middle of a Spell Card, too. Ran Yakumo's Illusion God "Descent of Izuna Gongen" and Yukari Yakumo's Bounded Field "Boundary of Life and Death" both start out deceptively easy but fire progressively more bullets as the user's health bar decreases, and Suwako Moriya's Scourge Sign "Mishaguji-sama" decreases the pause between waves as Suwako's health bar decreases. Don't think you can just sit there without firing and time out the Spell Card to avoid the boss Turning Red, either — when the timer hits 30 seconds left, the Spell Card automatically goes to its hardest difficulty regardless of remaining health.
This is actually a common trait of the last spellcard for extra bosses, which get harder as their HP lowers by either doing it more strongly or in Mokou's case, adding more patterns to avoid. Utsuho also pulls this off, despite just being a final boss.

Two bosses in Tyrian implement this. The first boss plays this as mixed, where its armaments are destroyed but it still has an Emergency Weapon. The Savara V's boss has all its armaments destroyed . when low on health, making it impossible for him to attack you. (You can still die if you push yourself into him.)

The large Oni* bosses or subbosses of Toukiden become "enraged" after taking a lot of damage or losing a limb. In this state, they gain glowing red eyes and a purple sheen. They may also transform when near death; both states are more aggressive than normal and may have special attacks.

The Mr. Do! series, by the same company as Space Panic, has a few examples:
In the original Mr. Do! game, the red creeps can get fed up with trying and failing to reach you by going through existing tunnels, and turn blue, going into a mode where they dig their own tunnels. Of course, when doing this, they can consume the cherries that need to be eaten for you to beat the level, or even dig under a golden apple and accidentally crush themselves.
In Mr. Do's Castle, the enemy unicorns could get stronger if hit too many times, turning from red to green to blue.
Do! Run Run has enemies that transform into blue aggressive forms if you take too long to complete a level.

In P.N.03, Loewenzahn partially transforms from a insectoid tank into a pterosaur-on-wheels when down to about 1/3 HP, and goes fully One-Winged Angel as a robotic phoenix for the last part of the rematch battle.

In Ace Attorney, the killer of any given case will almost always be the final witness of the trial. They will, almost always, behave in such a way that doesn't make themselves look like dangerous or suspicious people. But when you corner them by exposing the lies in their testimony, they will freak out and become very aggressive to you, many times outright insulting you (or, as the killer in Case 6-1 does, request your execution). They will suddenly become much more clever (they were just Obfuscating Stupidity) and brag that you don't have the decisive evidence to prove their guilt note Of course, there's always some way to bring them down in the end. Their usage of this trope is justified, as they lose public credibility and trust when they go all berserk and want to avoid this situation unless you're about to send them to prison.

Disproportionately common in Final Fantasy VIII, where plenty of enemies get weaker as the battle progresses, as if the game already didn't have enough of a reputation for being easy. This includes common enemies like Mesmerize losing its horn or bosses like Red Giant losing its sword. More unique cases include Granaldo being only capable of Scratch Damage once you kill off the Raldos it uses as projectiles or Fujin's first encounter losing her Wind spells after drawing Pandemona and switching to a weak physical attack. Even the final boss's third form Ultimecia-Griever, loses half her body after a while and is no longer able to perform her Great Attractor attack.

Being set in an MMORPG, the anime Sword Art Online also features this trope. In "Aria in the Starless Night", when Illfang the Kobold Lord's HP hit 25% (15% in the anime) it was designed to toss its axe and shield aside and gain a completely different attack pattern by unsheathing its talwar...which was changed to a katana in the full release of SAO, which caused radical changes to its movement speed and skill-chaining capability.

ULTRAKILL: The rematch with Archangel Gabriel in 6-2 begins with him already in the state of being enraged, both in gameplay terms and in the story, of what happened to him because of V1. After draining Gabriel's first healthbar his attitude changes - he calms down and begins to laugh in confusion as his Blood Knight tendency begins to emerge. His armor returns to ordinary colors while his wings and halo glow with a mixture of both blue and orange, when before they only glowed with one of these colors at once, according to his emotional state. His fighting style changes to a more calculated one, with more deliberate and higher damage swings, finishing off his attack patterns with a teleport off to the side to catch the player off guard.

Metroid:
Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid: Zero Mission are famous for bosses that gradually change in color, appearance, and difficulty the closer they get to death.
Super Metroid: If the player hits Phantoon with a Super Missile, he will go into an enraged state and start using much more difficult attack patterns. This can be avoided by using only regular missiles on him.
Bunches of bosses in the Metroid Prime Trilogy do this too. Ridley is one notorious example, as are the guardian bosses from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Jump Guardian, Bomb Guardian, Spider Guardian...) and the final bosses of all three games (Metroid Prime, Emperor Ing/Dark Samus, and Dark Samus/Aurora Unit 313).
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Many regular enemies in the game will enter Hypermode at random intervals. The bosses also alternate hypermode after sustaining enough damage.

Copy Kitty: Boki's ability is to copy the opponent's powers, so on the occasions that the boss turns red, Boki will copy that power boost and gain additional power herself. Defeating one boss even hinges on this: its shields are powerful enough to block most attacks, making scoring a hit very difficult: so trick it into powering up. When it does this, the power Boki copies off of it is enough to shatter the shields after a few attacks.

Ed the Undying in Kingdom of Loathing. He fights you no less than seven times in a row (the game won't let you enter his chamber unless you have at least seven adventures to spare.) He gets more and more beat up with each fight — each form has less health than the one before, to the point where you can easily beat the sixth and seventh in about one or two hits depending on level, and each form's portrait shows him in worse and worse condition. Eventually his unwillingness to give up despite how badly he's been beaten approaches levels reminiscent of the Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The pre-battle narration for his fifth form even includes the dialogue "C'mon, dude. This is ridiculous." "UNDYING!" "sigh."
However, though his Hit Points are halved each fight, his attack power does not change. And you can't heal between battles. Fortunately, your familiar effect still has a normal chance of going off — including those that heal you after battles.
Eventually you just sweep his remains into the corner and claim victory.
The Naughty Sorceress plays this both ways — she has three forms; the second is stronger than the first, but the third is a literal one hit kill if you have the right item in your inventory. And a one hit kill for you if you don't.

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden glows red when "Jack the Ripper" emerges. This first occurs when he's pushed too far by Sam and Monsoon's tauntings, and thereafter works as a Super Mode for Raiden in gameplay.

Enemies in Bubble Bobble, Symphony/II, and Memories will turn red when they are the last on the screen. Their movement speed increases. They also Turn Red when time starts to run out in a level, or if you trap them in a bubble and don't burst it in time. It gets very annoying when Super Drunk does this...
Rainbow Islands does the same thing — leave them on the screen too long, or trap them under a rainbow without killing them, and they'll red up. In the unlockable Nostalgia Level based on Bubble Bobble itself, the original enemies are already red. Most have their attacks expanded, albeit these attacks never show up in other games.

In Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, after depleting Arem's first health bar (which is tough and long enough), he gains Powered Armor and becomes even faster, tougher and deadlier. Fortunately, for his final form he is reduced to an easy-to-beat Blob Monster. In Mask of the Sun, after depleting the Centaur's HP half way, he separates from his lower body and goes That One Boss on you. Also in Mask, after depleting Gruda's first HP bar, he turns One-Winged Angel and also becomes That One Boss.

Some of the Dream Eaters in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] like the Hebby Repp, Pricklemane and Zolephant will turn bright red once they've received enough abuse, granting them an increase to their speed and attack power, along with upgrading some of their attacks. When used as allies, the appropriate disposition can make them start off every battle in this state.

Octopath Traveler: Enemies are more likely to use their strongest attacks when their health is low, indicated by their name literally turning red. Bosses develop new tactics and become increasingly dangerous the lower their health gets. Downplayed with Balogar, the guardian of the Runelord class. After losing 50% of his HP, his attacks targets now the entire party but he unlocks also all his weaknesses.

In Pokémon X and Y, the Super Training mission against a Roserade balloon works like this. The Roserade balloon starts off attacking very quickly, but when it's been damaged enough, it slows down, giving the player a chance at a comeback.

In Terraria, most bosses tend to take their second form after having been reduced to half health: Eye of Cthulhu loses a part, and the eyeball transforms into a giant jaw, the Twins start using more powerful attacks, the Eater of World gets split into multiple worms, and the final pre-Hardmode boss releases increasingly rapid laser flurries. In Hardmode, Plantera is a sheer nightmare after she is brought down to half health, trying to maul you with her body, and if you leave the Underground Jungle hoping to escape, she will get enraged and will try to charge at you at a ludicrous speed while inflicting increased damage... isn't that enough?

A few of the big bosses in City of Heroes invert this trope, although probably not intentionally. Diabolique would be the most memorable, as her new ability at low health is to pop up a force field bubble that prevents her from attacking or being attacked, giving players a nice breather to regain endurance and health at the cost of being a little irritating. Marauder and Bobcat have a more conventional glow power that reduces incoming damage at low health while still letting them attack. That'd be a conventional use of the trope, except that they lack long-range attacks, and when the glow wears off in three minutes, the power's crash means they'd end up with less health than before they used the power.
Romulus, on the other hand, comes back to life no less then three times. And every rebirth brings reinforcements and a nice healthy serving of stun. Not sure if he himself actually gets any more powerful, though.
Romulus eats one of his Nictus helpers every time he resurrects, taking their special power out of the fight and making things easier.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga:
The last time Popple attacks you, he teams up with Birdo. If you take Popple out first, Birdo loses it and says "You may have defeated my darling, but that is as far as you go!" then literally turns red and begins firing off her exploding eggs in a more random pattern.
Bowletta turns black once damaged enough, assuming an entirely new attack pattern as well as becoming hazardous to jump on.
Strangely enough, the Wiggler mini-boss in the same game inverts this; by default, it's red and vicious, but jumping on all the segments of its body will turn them, and its head, yellow and sickly, at which point the head can be attacked for damage.

Abigail from the first Final Fight would occasionally turn red and charge at the player with a running punch, roaring as he powers it up. Subversion seeing as this charge is actually easier to stop than some of his others where he retains his normal skin colour and goes for a grab or a tackle instead.

The Hollow: The Final Boss, the Dragon Colrath, once first defeated comes back again, this time much faster and able to blast lightning. Ironically, though he starts off red, he becomes blue once he becomes stronger.

In the Super Smash Bros. series:
Super Smash Bros. 64: While Master Hand himself doesn't change in appearance as his HP lowers, his stage does. The background starts as a night sky filled with shooting stars. When Master Hand's HP falls to 200, the shooting stars stop and poisonous-looking purple clouds fill the area. When it falls to 100, the background turns into a blue vortex. Each background change is marked by a slight power boost, the most obvious being that his Finger Gun attack will fire three projectiles in quick succession instead of one during the vortex phase.note Incidentally, this unique trait makes Final Destination a nightmare to try to play normal matches on in 64, even with a GameShark, much to the dismay of those into Tournament Play; without a boss to connect the background to, it causes the game to crash unless even further hacks are applied. One workaround if not using a full-fledged Game Mod is to combine codes to 1. skip to the final match of Classic Mode, 2. make the Player 2 character in Classic Mode human-controlled, 3. forcibly change Player 2's character ID, 4. change Player 2's stock count, 5. change the time allotted for Classic Mode battles, and 6. change the stage's music, as by default it will only play the ominous-sounding intro rather than the music track the stage is known for.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Once Galeem gets down to less than half-health, his core erupts with light like it's a star about to go supernova, and once Dharkon gets down to less than half-health, his eye changes color, turning the sclera from a bright blue to a deep red, his iris from yellow to a bluish-lavender, and his pupil changing to the color of his sclera as if it's bloodshot.

In Unlimited Saga, the Sequential Final Boss loses parts as you advance through the battle, losing the attacks related to those parts and starting to use new stronger ones. It also starts to get more attacks per turn. Then, at the final stage, it loses part of its... hmm, head?, and also its weapons (which were power limiters) and turns bright red. He gets a HP refill as well, which means you'll have to hit him a bit before he start losing more LPs again. At this point, all of his attacks are strong and/or painful, the strongest one being called Overkill.
