* '''[[TrueFinalBoss Delirium]]'''. Its attacks are hard to dodge as they are, with very convoluted and tight patterns of bullets, some of which can be ipecac shots. No matter what Delirium transforms into, though, expect to be annoyed by his propensity to teleport around the room at random and the fact that he gets faster as his health gets lower. Even so, the amount and type of bosses that you encounter, combined with the [[GameBreaker build you amassed before the fight]], are what will make Delirium either a boss whose forms are [[CurbStompBattle only a nuisance while dealing with its bullet patterns]], or a [[NintendoHard true nightmare of a boss that]] [[MarathonBoss you'll have to outlast]]. It doesn't help that the level you find Delirium in, [[MarathonLevel The Void]], has [[GoddamnedBats enemies]] [[DemonicSpiders of all types]] that will cause you to hope you can hold onto your life, as well as bosses that Delirium can transform into during the fight... yes, that includes all and each of the other bosses on this page[[note]]except for Hush, unless you encounter ''very'' few bosses throughout your run[[/note]]...

* Singe is also pretty dangerous for similar reasons as Hornfel, except the fight is overall much more cramped, since the room is surrounded with indestructible, spiked boulders that Singe's explosive [[<Fartillery> farts]] launch at ridiculously high speeds. The boulders travel in nearly random directions, which can easily result in cheap hits, not even considering how Singe is almost always chasing you at high speeds and spamming explosions. Singe himself can also create gas clouds that are ignited by his exploding farts, which further increase the reach of his attacks while also sending the rocks all over the arena. It's a borderline pinball machine, and certain characters such as The Lost have no room for cheap damage.

* Thought that bosses like The Bloat, The Adversary, The Cage, or Sisters Vis were painful? The Forgotten update adds The Matriarch, an unholy mix between Fistula, Chub, and the Chubber and Fistuloid enemies that's [[DamageSpongeBoss even sturdier]][[note]]at 700 HP[[/note]], and who can appear on ''any'' environment of the Womb (but as of ''Repentance'', appears most commonly in the Scarred Womb). The Matriarch shoots Chargers in the eight cardinal directions, spawns Fistuloids that surround her, and shoots a jumbo tear that leaves a puddle of toxic blood creep. As she takes damage, she sheds small Fistulas and Fistuloids which shoot Chargers like Chubber does. At medium health, she starts summoning [[ZergRush an enormous wave of Fistuloids that immediatly shoot their Chargers at you]]. When "killed", the Chub sheds her Fistula armor completely, spawning even more Chargers, Fistulas and Fistuloids. Lastly, unlike the normal version of Chub, this one defies the FeedItABomb strategy by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard spitting it back at]] [[NoYou you]]; only The Forgotten can avoid this attack by [[TennisBoss swinging the bomb back at her]] with his bone. It's virtually impossible to avoid getting hit simply because the Matriarch is big enough, her spawns are numerous enough, and her attacks are quick enough, that there is just nowhere in the room you can hide. As a result, to many, this boss became the new Bloat for the final days of ''Afterbirth+'', being considered ''even'' harder than the non-tankiest final bosses in the game, and unlike bosses like Sisters Vis and Big Horn, was never nerfed - it took until ''Repentance'' where this hellspawn was '''''finally''''' {{nerf}}ed, causing her to [[CastFromHitPoints take 30 HP of damage when she summons a Fistuloid]], making the Fistuloids that orbit her attack less aggressively, and shedding less pieces of Fistula armor when she's weak - nevertheless, she's remains a very dangerous boss.

* The Stain, the upgraded form of Polycephalus. Like the original, it spends most of its time underground, popping up only to attack. While this is predictable most of the time, if you don't get it to pop up before it disappears, then you have no idea where on the field it will show up. This means it can easily get in your face to use its CombatTentacles attack, which is very fast and has virtually no tell aside from the Stain appearing in front of you. That is, if it doesn't go for just popping up ''[[TeleFrag directly underneath you]]'' for unavoidable contact damage. All of this is before we talk about it’s [[ThatOneAttack strongest attack]]: if it pops up as a single face, it unleashes a BulletHell attack with a volume comparable to ''Mom's Heart''. Finally, Greed Mode can pit you against ''two Stains at once'', or, if you're really unlucky, '''three'''. Watch out if they all use their BulletHell attack ''[[OhCrap at the same time]]''. To make matters ''even worse'', it can show up as early as ''the Caves''.

* Colostomia. Not only winning [[NauseaFuel the most disgusting boss]] in ''Repentance'' yet she's also one of the hardest. On top of being [[DamageSpongeBoss an already tanky boss]][[note]]380 HP[[/note]] (even tankier than the Basement's Dangle), all of her attacks are dangerous. She slides around really fast, leaving explosive gas clouds which react to bomb explosions. She also fires out butt bombs that detonate these same gas clouds, on top of the explosions having [[HitboxDissonance varying range to their size]]. Unless you pay attention to the gas the charge leaves behind, you won't have a tell at all! When low on health, Colostomia will now start to spew out the bombs while jumping around and leaving brown creep that, unlike other types of the same creep, hurts you. And here's the worst part: this is only in chapter 1! Thank goodness she only appears in, fittingly enough, Dross.

* [[TookALevelInBadass Mother, the renamed Witness]], is far more of a threat than in ''Antibirth''. For one thing, you don't have a lot of room to work with compared to Antibirth making dodging her attacks far more difficult. She also doesn't have a health bar and has a crapload of health to boot. And the attacks themselves include summoning a crapload of gapers that take up a lot of space in the already small room walking up to her and her hitting towards you. The worst one though has to be when she pukes out a Fistula and smacks it around with bullets (and if you live then the pieces of it.) going everywhere. And that's just phase 1. Phase 2 begins after shooting a laser out of nowhere and then coming out to fight you the same way she did in Antibirth. She doesn't move around much but she's also blocking off a good part of the room. Her attacks include jumping up and charging before crashing down in the center sending shockwaves and her sucking bullets up to them spit out at you. Have fun with the Tainted characters!

'''Beware of [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff spoilers]]!'''



* Ultra Pride is a DualBoss. The main boss ([[spoiler:[[CreatorCameo Edmund]]]]) always does one full heart of damage without the Wafer and has an attack where he spontaneously creates a giant poison stream in front of him with long range. Then there's the familiar ([[spoiler:Florian]]), who behaves like the Babies, meaning that he can teleport. In addition, he fires fast moving, long-range ''homing'' bullets; the exact same type fired by [[spoiler:Isaac and ???]]. Also unfortunate is that, if you're going for Platinum God, you must defeat Ultra Pride at least once.

* '''[[MemeticTroll The Bloat]]'''. This guy has very good reasons for why [[TheScrappy he is hated so much]] by the community, and even has [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FUCKBLOAT/ his own Subreddit]]. As the [[BackFromTheDead posthumous version]] of Peep, it has slightly more health than him, and shares most of its same strategy. However, the eyes detach at the start, not after taking enough damage like Peep does. It shares the same attack pattern, with one notable and ''extremely hated'' exception; if the Bloat is idle and you so much as graze the area directly to the sides or in front of him, he'll fire Brimstone beams from his eyes (either two forward or one to each side). This attack is not telegraphed, and will hit you unless you've got enough speed to run past the Bloat in the split second between the trigger and firing. It's possible to get hit ''[[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard the same second you enter the room]]'' with this boss! The only safe place you can attack from is behind him, and his eyes always seem to be behind him. Its Champion version will also send out a spray of Ipecac bombs towards you whenever he jumps, and can spawn [[GoddamnedBats Chargers]] when it creates damaging blood. It is also possible to fight him in both Necropolis and Utero on the same run and, in Greed, the Boss switch might pit you with '''two of them'''. Wherever you go, be sure to always have more than one heart in case he turns up unannounced, especially in [[spoiler:The Chest or Dark Room]].
** Afterbirth+ has a challenge called "[[https://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Aprils_Fool April's Fool]]", on which '''''every boss on every floor is The Bloat''''', even the final boss in the Womb! You can thank [[https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/5mbnqs/i_got_banned_from_rfuckbloat_for_coming_up_with/ this user on Reddit]] for coming up with this challenge. On the plus side, due to the wacky mechanics of the trial, it's functionally impossible to die, but that doesn't make it any less obnoxious.

* The original game's ''Eternal Edition'' makes even the easiest bosses much harder than any normal boss fought in ''Rebirth'' or pre-Eternal, especially since it introduces the brand new concept of RegeneratingHealth. For starters, the Eternal version of [[spoiler:Mom's Heart/It Lives]] (which is normally an AnticlimaxBoss) will constantly chase the player and slowly regenerate health, while retaining the ability to spawn enemies and the occasional DegradedBoss.

* Hornfel. This bugger tends to use hit and run methods to kill you. And they are nearly all explosive (with one exception though that comes AFTER he pelts bombs like a maniac) so unless you have the Wafer or something that makes you immune to explosives like Host Hat you are going to lose a ton of hearts (or runs) from him. Oh and his attack where he sends a dummy out has now been buffed to include three now! All with bombs if you hit one by mistake. Prepare to rage if you are alt Lost!

He can charge at you repeatedly from alternating sides of the room for a full heart of damage, and to make things worse, he will home in on you slightly and can fake you out on the last charge. In addition, he can rain homing explosive tears at you from above, and possesses a Brimstone attack that bounces between the fireplaces in his boss room and will likely take up most of the room. It's not uncommon for players to leave the fight with five or six hearts less than they had when they entered. Thankfully, Repentance made his explosive tear attack easier to dodge since the tears leave targets on the ground.

* Hornfel.Colostomia. Not only winning [[NauseaFuel the most disgusting boss]] in ''Repentance'' yet she's also one of the hardest. On top of being [[DamageSpongeBoss an already tanky boss]][[note]]380 HP[[/note]] (even tankier than the Basement's Dangle), all of her attacks are dangerous. She slides around really fast, leaving explosive gas clouds which react to bomb explosions. She also fires out butt bombs that detonate these same gas clouds, on top of the explosions having [[HitboxDissonance varying range to their size]]. Unless you pay attention to the gas the charge leaves behind, you won't have a tell at all! When low on health, Colostomia will now start to spew out the bombs while jumping around and leaving brown creep that, unlike other types of the same creep, hurts you. And here's the worst part: this is only in chapter 1! Thank goodness she only appears in, fittingly enough, Dross.
* Hornfel, from the Mines.
This bugger tends to use hit and run methods to kill you. And they are nearly all explosive (with one exception though that comes AFTER he pelts bombs like a maniac) so unless you have the Wafer or something that makes you immune to explosives like Host Hat Hat, you are going to lose a ton of hearts (or runs) from him. Oh and By the way, remember his attack where he sends a dummy out has now been buffed dummies of himself? It was ''buffed'' to include three now! now. All with bombs if you hit one by mistake. Prepare to rage if you are alt Tainted Lost!

* The Stain, the upgraded form of Polycephalus. Like the original, it spends most of its time underground, popping up only to attack. While this is predictable most of the time, if you don't get it to pop up before it disappears, then you have no idea where on the field it will show up. This means it can easily get in your face to use its CombatTentacles attack, which is very fast and has virtually no tell aside from the Stain appearing in front of you. That is, if it doesn't go for just popping up ''directly underneath you'' for unavoidable contact damage. If that isn't bad enough, if it pops up as a single face, it uses a BulletHell attack with a volume comparable to ''Mom's Heart''. Finally, Greed Mode can pit you against ''two Stains at once'', or, if you're really unlucky, '''three'''. Watch out if they all use their Bullet Hell attack ''at the same time''. To make matters ''even worse'', it can show up as early as ''the Caves''.

* Thought that bosses like The Bloat, The Adversary, The Cage, or Sisters Vis were painful? The Forgotten update adds The Matriarch, an unholy mix between Fistula, Chub, and the Chubber and Fistuloid enemies that's [[DamageSpongeBoss even sturdier]][[note]]at 700 HP[[/note]], and who can appear on ''any'' environment of the Womb (but as of ''Repentance'', appears most commonly in the Scarred Wonmb). The Matriarch shoots Chargers in the eight cardinal directions, spawns Fistuloids that surround her, and shoots a jumbo tear that leaves a puddle of toxic blood creep. As she takes damage, she sheds small Fistulas and Fistuloids which shoot Chargers like Chubber does. At medium health, she starts summoning [¨[ZergRush an enormous wave of Fistuloids that immediatly shoot their Chargers at you]].

Lastly, unlike the normal version of Chub, this one defies the FeedItABomb strategy by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard spitting it back at]] [[NoYou you]]; only The Forgotten can avoid this attack by [[TennisBoss swinging the bomb back at her]] with his bone. It's virtually impossible to avoid getting hit simply because the Matriarch is big enough, her spawns are numerous enough, and her attacks are quick enough, that there is just nowhere in the room you can hide. As a result, to many, this boss became the new Bloat for the final adys of ''Afterbirth+'', being considered ''even'' harder than the non-tankiest final bosses in the game, and unlike bosses like Sisters Vis and Big Horn, was never nerfed - it took until ''Repentance'' where this hellspawn was '''''finally''''' {{nerf}}ed, causing her to [[CastFromHitPoints take 30 HP of damage when she summons a Fistuloid]], making the Fistuloids that orbit her attack less aggressively, and shedding less pieces of Fistula armor when she's weak - nevertheless, she's remains a very dangerous boss.

* Thought that bosses like The Bloat, The Adversary, The Cage, or Sisters Vis were painful? The Forgotten update adds The Matriarch, an unholy mix between Fistula, Chub, and the Chubber and Fistuloid enemies, enemies that's [[DamageSpongeBoss even sturdier]][[note]]at 700 HP[[/note]], and who can appear on ''any'' environment of the Womb.Womb (but as of ''Repentance'', appears most commonly in the Scarred Wonmb). The Matriarch shoots Chargers in the eight cardinal directions, spawns Fistuloids that surround her, and shoots a jumbo tear that leaves a puddle of toxic blood creep. As she takes damage, she sheds small Fistulas and Fistuloids which shoot Chargers like Chubber does. At medium health, she starts summoning [¨[ZergRush an enormous wave of Fistuloids that immediatly shoot their Chargers at you.you]]. When "killed", the Chub sheds her Fistula armor completely, spawning even more Chargers, Fistulas and Fistuloids. Lastly, unlike the normal version of Chub, this one defies the FeedItABomb strategy by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard spitting it back at]] [[NoYou you]]; only The Forgotten can avoid this attack by [[TennisBoss swinging the bomb back at her]] with his bone. It's virtually impossible to avoid getting hit simply because the Matriarch is big enough, her spawns are numerous enough, and her attacks are quick enough, that there is just nowhere in the room you can hide. As a result, to many, this boss is not only became the new Bloat, but is also Bloat for the final adys of ''Afterbirth+'', being considered ''even'' harder than most of the non-tankiest final bosses in the game, with only the tankiest ones being harder. And to further rub salt on the wound, and unlike bosses like Sisters Vis and Big Horn, who were was never nerfed in game updates, the Matriarch continues to roam freely, at least - it took until ''Repentance'' comes out. [[SarcasmMode So have fun, and may you enjoy fighting where this hellspawn!]]hellspawn was '''''finally''''' {{nerf}}ed, causing her to [[CastFromHitPoints take 30 HP of damage when she summons a Fistuloid]], making the Fistuloids that orbit her attack less aggressively, and shedding less pieces of Fistula armor when she's weak - nevertheless, she's remains a very dangerous boss.
