Boss / Rare

Boss mobs are the strongest mobs in Cube World. They are the last mob in all missions.

Most mobs are able to spawn as rare mobs in the wilderness. They generally have a randomly generated name in purple, displayed above their species. Rare mobs are larger than the original mob and glow purple/red, like mission bosses. They can also have special abilities. These mobs will always drop a type of Spirit Cube.

When you find one, note its location on the map as they respawn like any other boss and regular mob.

Rare mobs can be tamed if their common mob counterpart is tamable. They have much more health, deal more damage, and retain their abilities until you exit the game. The retaining of abilities may be a bug. When a Rare mob is tamed it will become a regular pet mob.

Possible Abilities:

Fire Explosion (Same as Mage)

Summon a Race (Undead/Elf/Human/etc..)

Replicate Target (Itself or You)

Spin Attack

AOE Fire DOT (Like fire mage bracelet attack)

Also beware of Bosses casting a red patch on the ground, it will continuously burn you if you stand on it !!

Here is a list with pics, of some Boss Mobs I have encountered :)
