The semantics of our color coding are a mess, so I'm wondering: In Caves of Qud, what does a purple monster mean to you? What do you expect it to mean?
a boss is a monster (intended to be most likely fought, not dealt with peacefully) that's either a named instance of a scrub class that has improved stats (and often an entourage of the scrub class) or a unique individual of exceptional difficulty calling for special tactics

Blurfnoggle the Dead Sexy Snapjaw Breakdancer is a boss, Saad Amus is a boss, esper assassins have boss-like qualities but don't have proper boss feel so they're probably minibosses

what your saying is not wrong, but I have feelings about the game making judgements re: what's intended to be fought vs. dealt with peacefully

magenta means "A cool thing to kill, sometimes run away from, and about half the time to talk to or engage in commerce with" and without 'l' there's no real differentiation between those, which is sometimes a Thing.

the former is what I call a "pack leader" or "champion" type. the latter maps to my usage of "boss".
