List of bosses
World bosses
World bosses spawn across Gielinor either out in the open or in their lairs. World bosses are defined as bosses which spawn naturally, on their own, and can be killed at any time, as opposed to instanced bosses which spawn only in private lairs based on the actions of the player to whom the instance belongs. Some world bosses may, however, be killed in private instances for a price. Some world bosses, namely the Barrows brothers and God Wars Dungeon generals, also have additional requirements and mechanics related to finding and killing them. In the case of the Barrows brothers, they do not drop loot directly, but their defeat instead contributes to a single reward.

Wilderness bosses
The following world bosses are specifically located within the Wilderness, where players may attack each other. The one exception is the King Black Dragon: his lair, where the fight takes place, is not located in the Wilderness, but it can only be accessed through the Wilderness, and is thus still considered risky.

Instanced bosses
As opposed to world bosses, instanced bosses are fought in their own arena. They are generally fought alone, with the exceptions of The Nightmare, which is a group instanced boss, and the Royal Titans and Yama, which are duo instanced bosses. Spawning instanced bosses either requires an action (Zulrah, Vorkath, and Yama), while others simply spawn upon entering the instance (Brutus, Obor, Bryophyta, Amoxliatl, Royal Titans, Phantom Muspah, Doom of Mokhaiotl, and both forms of the Nightmare).

Sporadic bosses
Sporadic bosses are those that cannot be fought whenever the player wishes. Instead, they require a special item of some sort to gain access to them, which is obtained by partaking in other more common activities. Naturally, these bosses are in instanced locations.

Slayer bosses
Slayer bosses are a specific set of bosses that are only unlocked by training Slayer. Each one corresponds to another monster commonly assigned for Slayer tasks, which, with the exception of hellhounds, are also unlocked by training Slayer. In addition to a Slayer level requirement, each boss requires a task for either the boss itself or the equivalent monster in order to be fought.

Minigame bosses
These bosses are fought as parts of instanced minigames. The combat achievements for these minigames usually (but not always) relate to or at least require the defeat of the bosses, and, like other boss pets, pets rewarded by these minigames are typically smaller versions of the bosses.

Skilling bosses
Skilling bosses are world bosses that are not fought conventionally, but rather by utilising non-combat skills to defeat them, either directly or indirectly. For this reason, they can be very different experiences to more conventional bosses, and require entirely different gear and equipment. The Hespori also is strongly linked to a skill (requiring Farming to spawn and giving Farming XP), but the fight against it only uses normal combat.
