Bosses (Skyrim)

Bosses are the strongest enemies in dungeons and need to be killed in order to mark the dungeon as cleared. There are some dungeons, however, that cannot be cleared. Not all bosses are found in dungeons, sometimes they can be encountered in the wilderness or even in towns and cities.
