12 Most Bizarre Boss Battles In Video Game History

5. Mom - The Binding Of Isaac

This already-legendary twin-stick shooter is filled with disturbing imagery and themes that are thinly veiled by its beautiful, cutesy art style. You control the baby Isaac, and traverse the multiple, procedurally-generated layers of a basement filled with strange, horrifying creatures that you have to fight. Yet of all the monstrosities conceived by developer Edmund McMillen's beautiful warped mind, none quite stand up to Isaac's Mom. Set on killing her son because the voices in her head tekk her to do so, she is the boss of the game's prologue. You never see her whole body, but based on that swollen, tumorous leg that comes in from the top of the screen to stomp you, it's safe to say that you don't need to see any more. Other than her leg, Mom's lumpy hand comes in to grab you if you get too close to a door, and she also sheds warty lumps of flesh into the level that spawn enemies. You defeat her by attacking her disembodied eye that appears in the doorways around the arena. The encounter feels extra-creepy, as Mom calls Isaac's name in much the way you'd your own mother would if she was trying to kill you. We all know what that sounds like, right? Never mind, just watch the video to find out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Xjk3prJMo
