A boss is a powerful, usually unique monster that is fought to accomplish an objective, be it the advancement or minigame, or as part of a team player-versus-monster event. Some monsters commonly referred to as bosses are powerful monsters that reside in multi-combat areas; these monsters are commonly fought by teams of players in search of highly valuable drops. Many bosses have extremely high combat levels, and most of the strongest monsters in the game are bosses.
Dwarf multicannons often cannot be set up in the areas of many bosses.
Most bosses (e.g. bosses like the Corporeal Beast) also reside in a multi-way area; very few reside in single-way areas or instances. Most bosses will also generate a message upon kill telling the player what drop(s) they have obtained. For example, if players are at General Graardor and kill him (and drops Bandos tassets), a message will appear in the game box saying "Player name received item: Bandos tassets".

Boss slayer
Players who have unlocked the Like a boss ability via spending 200 Slayer reward points can have Konar, Nieve/Steve, Duradel, or Krystilia assign them boss monsters in addition to the tasks they already assign. The Slayer master will randomly assign a boss for which the player meets the below requirements. For example, they can assign the Dagannoth Kings to any player (since there are no special requirements), but Commander Zilyana can only be assigned if the player has 70 Agility. Krystilia can only assign the bosses located within the Wilderness.
After determining the boss, the Slayer Master will ask the player to select the amount that they want to kill for their assignment. The player can select anywhere from 3–35 kills (36 if Barrows is assigned). The maximum assignment can be increased by completing Combat Achievement tiers, up to a maximum of 50. Upon finishing a boss task, the player will get an additional 5,000 Slayer experience.
The following bosses can be assigned:
