    Default Best Darius Boss Name

    Lemme first declare that I'm a big Darius fan. I beat Darius Gaiden three times today... that was the result not only of a lack of other ideas, but also the result of entrancement, what with the graphics and blaring sound and multiple pathways. It can be argued that the greatest part of Darius is the bosses, which are huge robotic mockups of aquatic life, armed to the teeth with assloads of armanents. Announcing the arrival of one of these sumnabitches is this particular group of words...

    WARNING: A huge battleship, (Insert name here), is approaching fast.

    That classic line poses a question: Which of those names are among your favorites? Lemme mention a few of mine...

    Tripod Sardine
    My Home Daddy
    Titanic Lance (don't laugh, this boss is MASSIVE)
    Risk Storage
    Odious Trident
    Full Metal Shell (I could imagine a giant R. Lee Ermey trying to destroy you with giant neon profanities... though, the boss is a sea turtle)

    In my humble opinion, however, nothing tops the moniker of ACCORDION HAZARD. I mean... is that not the most wackadoo name ever? Others might have their own favorites, but nothing beats the mental picture of Weird Al gone off the deep end and going on a rampage with his accordion modified to shoot gamma lasers.

    I've always been partial to King Fossil myself. It's definitely not the weirdest name in the Darius book, but I like it.

    "my Home Daddy" which darius is that from? I've only played Super Nova, Sagaia, and Darius Gaiden. I've never gotten very far because I suck at SHMUPS. Anyway, my favorite would be "Mudy Crystal"

    Dire: He is the first ever Darius boss, and therefore, is the unofficial mascot of the series, so I understand.

    Crush: I think that My Home Daddy came from the PC Engine special Darius Alpha, which was nothing but bosses, bosses, bosses. He's a hermit crab, if I'm not mistaken.

    I have the PC version of Darius Gaiden. I couldn't make any sense of it...

    Without a doubt, it has to be Fatty Glutton.
