Bosses
Every expedition zone ends in one boss-tier monster. The shared-HP world boss Ladon is a scheduled server event outside the zones. Each boss has its own page with its skills, example stats and a full drop table — for the ordinary monsters that fill a zone, see the Bestiary.
Every zone boss fights with named skills of its own. The boss card in Expeditions lists them before you spend any energy, next to a difficulty label measured for your level and style, and the fight report names a skill when it fires.

Nature is what the boss resists or fears, in the words of its card. It changes only the state an element leaves: see Elements and states.
