Kind of like Create-a-Card back in the Dueling Cards forum in Gametalk, only we're making bosses for any game you choose. For example:
Name: Ridley II
HP: 1260
Appearance:
14
Attacks apart from claws and tail:
Tail Cannon- Charges for 3 seconds. After that elapsed time, red laser beams shoot forth from Ridley II's tail with a shotgun-like effect.
Beambreath- Blue lasers spew from Ridley II's mouth, doing little damage but the sheer number of them together do considerable damage.
Background: The arch-enemy of Steele, Ridley II leads the Space Pirates on Zebeth shortly after Mother Brain's death. At odds vs. Steele, he is a cunning foe and views Zebeth in a tactical fashion, taking control of vantage points and setting up ambushes for the General.
Note: This all takes place in a campaign I'm planning called Alternate Metroid, which makes good use of all the custom sprites I've made as well as bringing together peeps from other universes such as Falco Lombardi or Boba Fett. I dunno why, really, but anyway, the main character is Steele, a recolored Samus Aran in a gravity suit. Steele's suit, of course, is grey, but that's not the only way its different.
Bosses like these make good RPG bosses (take JYAP's Chao RPG for example, back in the Guest Area of Elemental Battlegrounds), but the style in which you make the boss is completely up to you. Enjoy!
Well,since my sis is playing Pikmin 2...
Name: Wasp(too lazy to make creative name)
HP: About 200 whacks from a red pikmin.
Appearance: A wasp.
Attacks:
Sting: The wasp slams its stinger into the ground. Covers a decent area and can really hurt your captain. Has to take about 3 seconds to pull it out.
Divebomb: The wasp flies upwards,then dives down and by your pikmin. Doesn't actually hurt,but gets rid of all their flowers.
Rapid Sting: At half health, instead of the regular sting,the wasp executes 5 stings,the last of which hits extra hard.
Olimar's notes: (can't come up with good example)
Louie's notes: Inedible. Poisonous and will result in bounciness and insanity.
And one for that custom sprite RPG you have in mind Toss.
Name: Wolfe
HP: 100-250-400-800-1500(I had in mind he was Steele's rival and would be fought several times)
Appearance: A red space pirate.
Attacks:
Plasma shot: Wolfe fires a plasma shot. Usually outpowers Steele's standard weapon.
Charge shot: Wolfe charges and fires a bigger shot. Does more damage.
Tackle: Self-explanatory.
Plasma blast(2nd fight and up): Wolfe fires a plasma laser. Can repeatedly hit, but isn't very strong.
Spreadshot(2nd and up): Wolfe fires a shot that splits into 3. A tad weaker than a regular shot.
Plasma bolt(3rd and up): Replacing his standard shot, Wolfe fires a oval-shaped blast doing some good damage. Has a charged version too.
Flamer(4th and up): Wolfe fires a rapid set of flames from his weapon. Does about 3x the damage of the plasma laser.
Flaming Tackle(4th and up): Also self-explanatory. Obviously hurts more.
Triple blast(last): Wolfe fires 3 plasma bolts instead of 1.
Flare Blast(last): At 100 HP,Wolfe starts charging. If he succeeds,you're pretty much dead as a giant fire blast covers the entire screen.
Background: Ridley II's right-hand man. An able and resourceful space pirate. Has a strong rivalry with Steele,but there is something else about him...
Have fun.

All the stuff about the Main Characters, including Wolfe. Enjoy!
Yay.
Name: Rain
Description: If you really don't know...
HP: 3200
Attacks:
Scythe Swing: Self-explanatory. Hurts alot.
Terra Crush: Rain slams the blunt end of the scythe into the ground, causing a giant earth pillar to shoot up from beneath you. Not as dangerous but still hurts.
Scythe Boomerang: Rain chucks his scythe at you,which bounces all over the place. Real fun and will probably kill if it hits multiple times.
The ever infamous Critical Hit: Rain dashes at you,but disappears before striking,only to reappear behind you and SLAM his scythe down. HP is reduced to 1 if it connects.
Crossbow: Rain swaps weapons and fires some bolts at you. His least damaging attack.
Background: Everyone's favorite noobslayer. Got warped to the wrong server and waits for a worthy challenge in his conveniently hidden-until-the-end-of-the-game-hideout.
Note: Rain=Optional. Like one of those sidequest bosses.
On a more serious note:
Name: Pirate Legionarre
Description: A green space pirate.
HP: 10
Attacks:
Pistol: The Legionarre fires at you. Minor damage.
Background: The average grunt,sent out to certain death.
More tomorrow.
Name: Pirate Rocket
Description: A orange space pirate.
HP: 15
Attacks:
Rocket Launcher: Self-explanatory. Does a good deal of damage.
Description: Legionarre+Rocket Launcher. Simple.

Pirate Scout
HP: 5
Weapons:
Pistol- See JYAP's description.
Description: Scouts are NOT combat units, or so dictates Ridley II and his predecessor, Mother Brain. Riding on hoversleds, they recon the area with details of terrain, nearby enemies, weather, etc. Using the most advanced reconassaince tools available, should Steele ever come across one of these, his men and he should shoot it down immediately to keep his location secret. The majority work for the Space Pirate military but report to the S.P.I.B. (Space Pirate Intelligence Bureau)
Appearance: Yellow Space Pirate.
Hoversled
HP: 8
Armor (ignores x points of damage): 1
Armanent:
1 plasma cutter - used for cutting through unpassable terrain, but can also be used as a weapon. Minor damage, but fires continuously like that of a flamethrower only it goes plain straight. Overheats quickly.
