Boss fights have long been one of the main features of video games from a multitude of genres. Some series, like Dark Souls or Monster Hunter, are known for their focus on making them particularly challenging and rewarding. But you don't need a computer to get into epic encounters.

There's a subreddit where users share images of things and beings they run into that, when taken out of context, look as menacing as a villain of a triple-A first-person shooter or RPG. Fittingly titled 'Boss Fight,' it also invites members to add creative and humorous titles to their posts.

So, we decided to collect the most popular ones and remind you that real life can be as exciting as a carefully crafted virtual world.

Cheese and rice! Are you guys EVER able to turn off your political agenda and just enjoy the posts here? Natives (which they prefer to be called) have been serving in political office for decades, now! I can recall Ben Night Horse Campbell, for one. If I went and looked it up, I'm sure I could find more. ETA: Charles Curtis, VP under Hoover, was Native. And he wasn't appointed, he ran alongside Herbert Hoover.

I'm trying to imagine the German soldiers' reaction when they realized they were missing not one or two but 50 horses. Anybody know what's German for "What the f*ck, Hans?"

The literal translation would be "Was zum Fick." which is definitely used by younger people, but the more common phrasing would be "Was zur Hölle" which means "what the hell". There is also "Was zum Geier" which translates to "what the vulture".

"Counting Coup" Among the Plains Indians of North America, counting coup is the warrior tradition of winning prestige against an enemy in battle. It is one of the traditional ways of showing bravery in the face of an enemy and involves intimidating him, and, it is hoped, persuading him to admit defeat, without having to kill him. These victories may then be remembered, recorded, and recounted as part of the community's oral, written, or pictorial histories. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)

This kitty’s name was Jasper. His eyes had to be removed because of corneal ulcers due to FHV. Sadly, he passed away a while back.

Overtly sexualized cartoon characters creep me out. It's so gross. (Edited to delete flippant comment regarding cartoons being for kids as people think that is the important part, not how disgustingly gross anime girls are with their out of proportion bodies).

Well, that isn't really useless, because this was probably found out by someone investigating the code to find out why their stuff was crashing and told other people why they were having problems. How about: The Koopa Kids in Super Mario didn't originally have names when introduced in SM3 in Japan, but before release in America they were given names by Dayvv Brooks of Nintendo of America. They were mostly named after musicians, except for Larry, who was named that because he apparently "just looked like a Larry".

It is basically wooden with a thin layer of gold over it. Think about the size of it and the weight of gold. Would you be able to carry that?
