English term or phrase: foozle
Definition from Wikipedia:
The final boss in a game.

Example sentence(s):
  • Some games offer semi-puzzles during the Foozle fight - like destroying the machines which make the antagonist invincible, or shooting arrows into a mirror to bypass an enemy's defense - but they still feature a prominent Foozle The Escapist Magazine
  • Dragon Age: Origins forces the player to make actual choices. Even if the choices are ultimately illusory and the Foozle still must be fought, most (but not all) of the major decisions are through dialogue trees and the result of player choice. /project/multiplexer
  • Not to mention, people would simply burn through it no matter what. There is a reason for the amount of pointless tasks in modern MMOs: they slow you down and eliminate the need to grind. Yes, you might have a bunch of “kill ten foozles” or “deliver these candies” quests, but they are a necessary evil. Game by night

Example sentence(s):
  • En temps que BOSS ultime de Final Fantasy 9, votre adversaire vous donnera sérieusement du fil à retordre. Tout d'abord, vous devrez terminer la quête des Gentils Monstres. En effet, le dernier monstre de la chaîne que vous aider vous indique qu'il vous a aidé à atteindre Gaïa. Cette remarque d'apparence anodine indique en fait que vous pouvez à présent infliger des dégâts physiques à votre adversaire, ce qui n'est pas le cas avant de compléter cette quête. De plus, vous aurez besoin d'un chocobo doré pour accéder au Jardin des chocobos où se déroule le combat. Approchez de la colline sur la gauche de l'écran pour que Méné, le Mog de l'endroit, vous indique qu'il a un mauvais pressentiment - Final Fantasy CH
