So there I was. Well, I still am until 5 o' clock, but anyway. There I was at work. Alone. Bored. Thinking. Thinking about hurricanes. Then, naturally, my mind drifted to typhoons. Then, to Phantoon, the boss of the crashed space ship in Super Metroid.

Phantoon gets my vote for coolest boss name ever.

Who gets yours?

The boss from The Legend of Zelda for NES. Has to be the most sexually explicit boss name ever.

But seriously, I like Dodongo from The Legend of Zelda (NES) and from Ocarina of Time (N64)

Shub-Niggurath, also known as the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, is a perverse fertility deity, said to be an enormous cloudy mass which extrudes black tentacles, slime-dripping mouths, and short, writhing goat legs. Small creatures are spat forth, which are either reconsumed into the miasmatic form or escape to some monstrous life elsewhere. She is worshipped extensively by druidic and barbaric cults.

It's because there are two generations of Ganon.

I think the correct spelling should be Ganon seeing as Ganondorf only has one N.
And as far as I can tell dorf in Hylian means "embodiment of"

Nihilanth from Half-Life.

I know there's more, but I can't recall them right now. I'd have to look through my old SNES collection.

I say a game before and the bad guy in it was named Keith.

Big Boss.

Gonarch - a boss whose who is an enormous testicle and is one letter short of having the word "gonad" in the name. Near unbeatable.

Chthon and Shub-Niggurath are also great names.

but if any boss had a name that could strike fear into the hearts of all who opposed him, it was:

Jeff from Double Dragon 1.
