Assassin's Creed Origins lets you fight gigantic manifestations of various Ancient Egyptian gods like Anubis or Sobek.When its health drops to about 30% it summons backup in the form of two additional level 70 Man o' Wars that fight exactly like the HMS Fearless and Royal Sovereign mentioned above. Winning all four battles then unlocks the real superboss, the Storm Fortress, flagship of the Assassin fleet and an insanely powerful Man o' War that's fought amidst a raging thunderstorm. Thankfully you get an AI fleet of your own as backup, but you'll still be doing most of the heavy lifting. Assassin's Creed: Rogue, being something of a Mission-Pack Sequel to Black Flag, copies the latter's four legendary ship battles, only this time it's against entire fleets led by a souped-up flagship.Defeating all five ships gives the Jackdaw the El Impoluto's boosted ram attack, but then again, by that point there's not much left to use it on. You win 20,000 Reales for winning each fight, but by that point you've probably bought all the ship upgrades you needed to actually beat them, so it's more of a Bragging Rights Reward.

Their usual habitat is the end of a Bonus Dungeon, Brutal Bonus Level, sidequest, or Boss Rush.

There's no real limit to the number of superbosses you can fight Final Fantasy X had dozens of them cordoned off in the optional (and highly incongruous) Monster Arena. Sometimes this is justified with an in-universe explanation, but more often than not, it's a glaring example of Giant Space Flea from Nowhere, which itself is a subtrope of Gameplay and Story Segregation. They typically aren't directly connected with the main plot of the game, even if their world-ending strength rivals that of the Final Boss.
