Thrown into The Cave of Pianus, he is all alone, by himself, and would occasionally project an image of himself to relieve his loneliness."

[[Image:MS Mob Icon Papulatus Clock.png]]Papulatus
The Papulatus, and related forms, are all located in the last map of Ludibrium's dungeon, The Clock Tower, called "Ludibrium: Deep Inside of Clock Tower". MapleSEA recently released this description of Papulatus: "'Papulatus Clock Boss is an evil monster who hogs the Time Sphere and likes to steal the power in Ludibrium. With him around in the Clock Tower, Ludibrium will never enjoy the peace and harmony they once had.'"


 * Papulatus is a monster from the Maple World's parallel dimension. It entered through a crack in the dimension caused by Ludibrium's failing power supply, the Time Sphere, with several other monsters. The Time Sphere is made by mixing Tachions and Mysterious Powder, which is Papulatus' energy source as well. Papulatus contaminates these Tachions, draining the Time Sphere's power. Some of the other monsters that followed Papulatus through the Crack are carrying pieces of it, which are needed to seal the hole. Once the pieces have been acquired from these monsters, namely Gigantic Spirit Viking and Grim Phantom Watch, the crack can be repaired, causing Papulatus' escape route to be blocked and driving it into the open. Once this occurs, players can finally confront the monster that is disturbing the Maple World and end its leeching. However, once Papulatus has been defeated, there is still one last task: Eliminating the evil force that still remains in the contaminated Tachions. The only thing that can destroy such a dark aura is the fires of El Nath's volcanoes, so the Dark Tachions must be taken there. After all this, Ludus Lake will finally be able to return to normal.

Approach Mr. Bouffon at Path of Time in Ludibrium. He will let you know how to get to Papulatus Clock Boss. Papulatus attack with lightning bolts, a blast of flame and by chances turn players HP and MP to 1. It can also dispell everyone on the map, causing deadly situations for low hp classes.
 * Summons

[[Image:MS Mob Icon Zakum.png]]Zakum
Zakum, one of the most powerful bosses released in most versions of MapleStory, Is located in the Dead Mines of El Nath, one of the main dungeons. Highly coveted by those above Level 100 for the elusive Zakum Helmet. In a 4th Job Advancement quest, it tells the story of Zakum's rise.

Zakum was a spirit sealed in a tree deep in the mines of El Nath's volcano. A mining town that once existed nearby eventually discovered this tree, and began worshiping it. They built an enormous statue in tribute to the tree. The evil spirit of Zakum seized the opportunity and possessed the statue, killing everyone in the town. Zakum now rests deep in the lava caves, waiting for powerful players to challenge his might.

[[Image:MS Mob Icon Horned Tail.png]]Horned Tail
Horned Tail is the most powerful Boss in the game. It drops a powerful necklace called the Horned Tail Necklace, which adds massive amounts to every stat. Located deep in Leafre, in the Cave of Life. Several Leafre quests reveal what has occurred to bring Horned Tail into battle.

The forest of Leafre is protected by the Nine Spirits dragon, a kind and gentle creature. The Nine Spirits Dragon has set up a barrier which shields the forest from evil. Unfortunately, the barrier gradually weakened over time, and this allowed the enormous beast, Horned Tail, to slip through. Horned Tail brought with him the Wyverns, which normally reside in a swampy land far to the north. This group of evil dragons began their assault on the town, almost entirely wiping out the Dragon Squad, a team of human fighters sent to defeat Horned Tail. During this battle, Horned Tail took the egg of the Nine Spirits Dragon and hid out deep in the Cave of Life. His evil power is so great that it has even gained the power to corrupt the other monsters, turning them pitch black. Now, the strongest players must band together to defeat this cruel dragon, save the Nine Spirits Dragon Egg, and protect Leafre once and for all.

Fake Bosses
As part of an event in Korean MapleStory and Global MapleStory, false bosses were implemented on some maps for a short time. Additionally, in KoreaMS, MapleSEA, and JapanMS, these bosses could be summoned as part of different event involving the collection of fireworks. These bosses are significantly weaker and have less HP than their normal counterparts, most doing a mere 1 point of damage to high-leveled characters. They also drop several cakes upon defeat.
