Bosses are enemies in Bloodborne who feature a larger health bar and may be defeated to consider a stage "cleared". They will usually drop unique items. Players summoned to help defeat a host's Boss will be returned to their own game world after that Boss has been cleared. Bosses listed below are currently known and more will be added when data becomes available. It isn't 100% clear if the Root Chalice Dungeons will pull Bosses at random from the game or if it has its own set of them.
Using a series of glitches and exploits, it is possible to beat the game and enter New Game + while only killing Rom and Mergo’s Wet Nurse

The bosses in this game are so good, and have the best balance between more unique bosses and bosses that require more skill

Bunch of comments here talking about how there isn’t the complete boss list, yet there’s a section for other types of bosses on this exact page.

The only thing that felt weird about the Hunter bosses is their height. If you happen to notice how much they tower over the player character it feels really off but in Dark Souls 1 this was actually explained by the lore. Berenike knights, black and silver knights you name it they’re all a different species to our human/undead characters and it worked well but in Bloodborne I think they had to do it to make it feel like less of an npc fight and more boss like but damn is it weird when you’re fighting Maria and suddenly notice how tall she is compared to you!

I just concluded my first ever character journey in Bloodborne until NG+6. My build was a vitality/str build with a little of Skill, BL100. I also did Sekiro NG+7 with 14 attack power, and Dark Souls 3 at SL100. The most difficult bosses of these 3 games were in my opinion Orphan of Kos, then Laurence, then Gehrman. 5 days to beat them in NG+6! While it took me 2 days for Isshin the sword Saint NG+7. Or 3 hours for Father the Owl... Dark Souls 3 is the easiest for me. Even if Gael NG+7 can be really tough, but very sensitive to poison or distant weapons, or Prince demons very annoying with their HP.

The Blood-Starved Beast bears an uncanny resemblance to a blown-out, roast beef vulva.
