A boss is the strongest type of piglin unit that can be fought in Minecraft Legends. There are four bosses, The Beast, The Devourer, The Great Hog, and The Unbreakable. The Beast, the Devourer, and the Unbreakable can only be fought by destroying every piglin base built by their respective piglin horde, which compels them to leave the Nether and come to the Overworld, where they each make their last stand. Once all three are defeated by the Hero, the Great Hog launches an attack on the Well of Fate in an attempt to corrupt it and win the war. Once they too are defeated by Hero, the piglins are driven back into the Nether and the Overworld wins the war.
PIGLIN BOSSES - There will come a time when the piglin powers will grow tired of your interfering and will send in their big bosses. When this happens, you'll face a fight unlike anything you've encountered before. Defeating them will lead you in one direction ... to an epic meeting with the Great Hog themself.

The sword of the player can now deal a small amount of damage to bosses.
Trivia
The name of each boss reflects their personality and, in the case of The Beast, The Devourer, and The Unbreakable, the theme of the piglin horde that they lead.
