10 Best Final Bosses In Resident Evil History

4. Tyrant - Resident Evil

The antithesis of the previous entrant, the original Resident Evil's Tyrant showcases the virtue of simplicity.

While the other fights on this list may be more elaborately designed, the Tyrant succeeds as a final boss by getting the basics just right. A straightforward but memorable look (humanoid, but with enough wrong to create a sense of horror), a high stakes battle against the clock, and a satisfyingly explosive payoff all combine to make the Tyrant the best final boss of the original trilogy.

Yes, the actual fight might be basic by today's standards but as the climax to the first ever Resident Evil, and the template for every subsequent final boss in the seiries, the Tyrant gets more than enough right to deserve its inclusion in this list.
