The comment in the image is about the Lamenter from SOTE which, I have to say, was NOT my favorite horrible little man boss.

Personally I liked Onze since I just didn’t expect the boss to be a tiny demihuman, nor did I expect said tiny demihuman to kick my ass. Plus his sword and lore are pretty cool.

    Such an interesting question to which I have no satisfying answer, I’m afraid. Except for Onze, whom I did fight and enjoyed from the little time I’ve spent with SotE, I don’t think there’s too many bosses I’ve fought that fit the criteria well. The closest in vibes would be the Mad Clown Puppet from Lies of P because it’s such a prick. Just look at this fucker:

    It’s not even small, actually it’s bigger than P, but it kinda fits the vibe. Once you get the hang of the parry timings, the fight gets substantially easier.

    The only other enemy I could think of are the Assassins or “Rats” from Sekiro:

    They come in a couple variants and some have steel-enforced straw hats that deflect basically any attack you throw at them. You need the Axe Prosthetic to cleave it apart and be able to damage them. Their kill blows are pretty metal tho: They jump on your back and bend you backwards until your spine snaps. Sounds quite gruesome now that I type that out :s

    I wonder a boss fight against one of these would have looked like
