Optional boss enemies in Deltarune, and generally the most difficult foes in their respective chapters. So far, each chapter has featured one bonus boss, each carrying a Shadow Crystal. They can be defeated by either FIGHTing or ACTing, with a different item earned as a result, with no foreseeable consequence as of yet.
- Jevil: Formerly the court jester of Card Castle, he went mad after meeting a "strange someone" that caused him to see the world as a game, and had to be sealed away by Seam in the ?????? floor in Card Castle. Despite the imprisonment, he claims to be truly free, seeing the outside world as a prison. Acts as the bonus boss of Chapter 1.
- ACTing: Jevilstail
- FIGHTing: Devilsknife
- Spamton: Full name "Spamton G. Spamton," a salesman who wanted to be a "[[BIG SHOT]]," but fell on hard times when the stranger who helped him rise disappeared, leaving him to live in the Trash Zone. He convinces Kris to upload his mind into a powerful robotic body hidden underneath the Queen's Mansion, becoming Spamton NEO. Acts as the bonus boss of Chapter 2 and the final boss of the Snowgrave Route.
- ACTing: Dealmaker
- FIGHTing: Puppet Scarf
