You'd need to define boss fight I think. If you mean "mechanically different monster", then yes.

Essentially a boss fight is an encounter between the protagonists (the party) and a major antagonist (the boss). That’s all it is at its core. Typically though, a boss fight consists of a few different elements. The most important of these is the boss. They should be intimidating, powerful, and ruthless against the party. Other elements may include...

PCs, in general, can perform more actions per round of combat than the majority of creatures. Few creatures can make regular use of bonus actions and reactions like PCs can. This means that when the party outnumbers the boss in a boss...
It’s hard to make general advice and expect it to sink in. Vague examples aren’t useful to everyone, so with that being said here’s a boss fight that I designed! I’ve made quite a few boss fights in the past, but my favorite (and most successful) to date has to have been Longbeard in my latest homebrew campaign. Longbeard was a dwarf that mechanica...

Make the players choose between a rock and a hard place. Maybe the boss has an ability that deals 10d6 damage (totally arbitrary number btw) to one character, but that character can choose to split the damage evenly to allies within 15ft. And the boss heals for 2d6 for each character affected by this spell.

The term “boss” referred not only a powerful politician, but one who acquired, held and exercised power outside the channels dictated by law.
