Bosses are unique enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They typically have higher health and deal more damage than the standard creatures in the same area. Hornet may have to defeat a boss to access a new area, acquire an item, complete a Quest, or simply further the main story of the game.

When Hornet encounters a boss, their name appears on-screen, and the music changes into a battle theme.
