{{Monster navbox}}'''SuperUniques''' are specially-named '''boss [[monster]]s''' that are always found in the same locations, and have partially or completely pre-set modifiers. SuperUniques are more powerful than regular boss monsters and usually drop more items of a higher quality. SuperUniques include the biggest monsters, such as [[Act Boss]]es, and can have unique graphics, or may just be specially named representatives of a regular monster type. | |||
This page lists all the SuperUniques in the game. | This page lists all the SuperUniques in the game. See their individual pages for their full stats and other useful information. | ||

In earlier versions of the game shaman bosses spawned with a pack of shaman and regular fallen. Bishibosh could be quite difficult as he and his minions resurrected dead Fallen almost as quickly as players could kill them. This feature was removed in v1.09 when boss shaman were [[nerf]]ed by spawning only with regular Fallen rather than Fallen Shaman. Bishibosh can still resurrect shaman but he does not spawn with a pack of them so you'll only see this occasionally. | ||

Killing all of them, with the Fallen scattering in every direction each time one falls, can be frustrating.
