The Bosses of Eldermyr
Every named foe, its stats and its loot table. There are three kinds of boss, and this is where two of them live. Health is the solo, first-kill baseline: more heroes online raises it, and so does killing the same foe again, so read these as the floor. Loot rolls for every hero separately, by the damage each did.
Every boss move is telegraphed: a windup and a shape drawn on the ground before anything lands. Learn the shapes and the fights are fair.

11 named foes you can walk up to. 6 of them stand at a lair and wait, 4 roam their own country, and the last one can be tamed instead of killed. Each respawns after it falls, and each can be taken alone.
