it means a boss, except when it means one of the types of scrub who are colored magenta inexplicably, usually in contradiction of their written description

Replying to @ptychomancer
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

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