Bosses
Bosses appear throughout the Tomb Raider series. They are considered to be enemies with considerably more strength, agility, attacks and defence than the common enemies Lara faces throughout the games. In all Tomb Raiders, expect Chronicles, there was a boss at the very end of the game, appearing on the last level. Some Sub-Bosses also appeared during the middle of some Tomb Raider games since Tomb Raider III.
Main Bosses
- the Legless Mutant and Jacqueline Natla in Tomb Raider
- The Dragon in Tomb Raider II
- the Willard Mutant in Tomb Raider III
- Seth in The Last Revelation (immortal)
- Eckhardt and Karel (immortal) in The Angel of Darkness
- Amanda Entity in Tomb Raider Legend
- Jacqueline Natla in Tomb Raider Anniversary
- Jacqueline Natla in Tomb Raider Underworld (not faced directly)
