Glossary Entry: Miniboss

Definition

A miniboss is an enemy that is more difficult than a standard enemy (perhaps they are even fought in a boss room) but the game doesn't actually consider them to be a boss.

You're more likely to encounter a miniboss in the middle of a level, as defeating them often unlocks a checkpoint.
