Boss

Bosses are powerful and unique computer-controlled adversaries in Destiny, which are often encountered at the climax of an instance or featured as an integral part of a public event, and tend to be the main antagonist of such events. Bosses are identified by their unique names, such as "Rixis, Archon Slayer", and a skull icon instead of a numerical level. Bosses characteristically have large health and strike with high damage, requiring a group of players to be taken down. Upon death, bosses may drop rare and exotic loot, such as weapons or armor.

Known Bosses
So far, only two bosses have been featured from Destiny; these include Rixis, Archon Slayer and the Devil Walker, both who were encountered in the Destiny live demo during the Sony press conference at E3 2013.
