10 Most Ridiculous Boss Battles Of All Time

8. Natla - Tomb Raider

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlVojWgx9vQ&t=5m56s Jacqueline Natla is the antagonist of the first Tomb Raider game, and for the majority of it appears to simply be a greedy, malevolent businesswoman. Once Lara arrives at the Great Pyramid of Atlantis, however, her plan unravels itself; she wants to create mutant creatures using the power of the pyramids, though it appears this is brought to a close once she tackles Lara over a cliff edge, but ends up falling into the lava to her own doom. Natla shows up again at the end of the game however, carrying a giant bomb launcher and sporting red demonic wings, taking a game that already swayed towards the supernatural into the totally ridiculous realm. Sure, we'd already fought wild Atlantean creatures prior to this, but given how the game began in fairly unassuming style, it's still pretty absurd that things managed to get this outlandish. Not that I'm complaining, mind.
