How about a way to categorize boss types?
Here's my temporary list; feel free to add on!

Worm: Essentially a fighter core with a long 'train'. Example: Kundali
Circle: A boss that has a rolling module in a cage. Example: Kinshou
Spider: A big thing that moves on a 'rack' Example: Virupaksa
Circle Spider: A boss that spins around in a cage. Example: Virupaksa 2
Delta: A boss with 2 angled wings. Example: Virudhaka
Top: a boss with a core and a few arms that spins around. Example: Vajrayaksa
Cyclic Fighter: A boss that has a couple of modes, repeats them in a pattern and does not change much in looks. Example: Phantom 30K
XL Cyclic Fighter: Like Cyclic fighter, but bigger and changes small portions of itself. Example: PAI07: Cerberus
Summoner: A boss which can make new parts, copied from old bosses. Example: Zapan.
Bullet Hell: Uses dense patterns of varied weapons that require you to either move slowly and methodically, or quickly and without thinking. Example: Almost any of Eboshidori's bosses (Thanks Bukkarooo!)
Gradius Core: Anything that looks like a Gradius boss. Example: CrossTheRubicon's Big Core series.
Artificial Spellcard: A boss that mimics a Touhou boss. Examples aplenty.
Turret: Any boss styled like a turret (The UltiCannons)
Miniboss: A midway boss in a try that's somewhat harder (No example)
Final Boss: Any boss that could fit into a final boss theme (Reactor-00)
Maze: Self-explanatory (Labarynth)
Fraxian Style: Based off of, or similar to, another Fraxian's style (The upcoming CX-13: Stannoth)
Option Fighter: A small/medium craft that fights with drones beside it. Example: Oneshiningstar's CX-06 - Zig
Lethal Core: A core with really nasty attacks. To qualify, must have only 1 core visible - nothing else! Example: A70M1C's Reactor-00: Eye of Destruction
Doppelganger : Basically an attempt to realistically mimic player movement in a boss. (EX. Evil Fraxy, Goppeldanger)
Squad : A group of relatively weak fighters collaborating in a fight at the same time. (EX. Kamui Squadron)
Group : Fighters, each with differences, collaborates in a fight at the same time.
(EX. Triple Threat)
Spewer : A boss with lack of 360 degree attack coverage, but has a low-degree heavy attack coverage (Max. 180 degrees). (EX. CX-02: Bladed Fury)
Mind Rape : Hidden parts ambush the player, the design confuses, and enrages the player. (EX. Border of Technicality and Inanity ~what the hell is this)
Trap : You destroy it, and it causes something or it just hinders the hell out of you. (EX. Player Prison, Mosquito Coil)
Stationary : No general movement occurs, only joints and panels move small sections of the creation. Tends to get nasty quickly. (Thanks Nutman for the 7 examples here!)
Speedkill: The longer you wait, the harder it gets. Example: Reactor 07 - Mechatroid (Final threshold 5 min)
Classic Shmups: a boss that acts like a boss fight in a SHMUPS game like 1942. (EX:Cancer 900K)
Dash: Like classic Shmups, but it actually moves. If you die, it flies off and you have to catch it. (EX: R-500 Bombay7)
Doppleganger overdrive: a more powerful doppleganger (EX: Infinitus)
Self-destruction: an absurdely overpowered Doppleganger(EX: Hyper Infinitus (UPCOMING BOSS))
Weapon Rape: Like Bullet hell, except with other weapons. (EX: Beating Core)
Revengance: A modified version of a boss. (EX. Omoresu's (Neo)Angelo series)
The FINAL final battle: a boss that's intended to be the "second form" of another boss (EX:Arc Legion)
Ripoff: A boss thst's clearly a ripoff of another boss(EX. Skelati Deathbot)
Toughie: Boss you have a hard time to beat without dying (EX. Any of Onimaru's forms)
Unintended Toughie: A boss that is hard, but wasn't meant to be (no example)
Conditional Toughie: a boss that goes into Hell Mode if a certain condition is met (EX. Atomic Vault 17)
Shocker: Any boss that's so absurd, you can't beat it without dying once (EX. Any of Henry5555's bosses)
Progressive Mind Rape: a boss that starts out somewhat easy, but becoms bigger/harder before it gets killed
Tetran: any Tetran-styled boss
患部で止まってすぐ溶ける 〜 狂気の優曇華院: Any boss that prevents you from fighting it on rank 1.
BREAKOUT / ARKANOID: all visible parts of the boss can be destroyed. (Oneshiningstar's old Lanthantrix series)
TRANSFORMER: boss that changes its form with the use of move joints and turn joints.
DRONE / SUB-BOSS: small, relatiely weak enemies under 200? parts, which can be used to accompany larger enemies. (Son of Makuta's Parasite)
MELEE: bosses that deliberately attack you by colliding with you or making a part crash on you.
MAZE: it's a maze. self explanatory. (Labyrinth Core)
HUMANOID: a boss in the likeness of a human. (Ebo-Acala)
BEAST: a boss in the likeness of an animal/s (AL69's Constellation SCORPIO)
VEHICLE: a boss that looks like a ship, plane, tank, etc. (?)
FORTRESS: a heavily armed stationary boss that may have drones and fighters guarding it. (Vic Viper's Final Fortress)

for one...

Bullet Hell: Uses dense patterns of varied weapons that require you to either move slowly and methodically, or quickly and without thinking. Example: Almost any of Eboshidori's bosses

pretty cool list so far. I find it funny how all but one of your examples were Ebo's bosses. and I'm slightly flattered that the other was mine haha

And what's sad is most of my creations don't fit in ANY of these categories.

i think the spider, circle spider and the like should be combined into one category. delta should be removed because they're basically in the vehicle section.

TRACKED / RAILED: bosses that moves in a particular track, rail or cage.

and the others:

BREAKOUT / ARKANOID: all visible parts of the boss can be destroyed.

TRANSFORMER: boss that changes its form with the use of move joints and turn joints.

DRONE / SUB-BOSS: small, relatiely weak enemies under 200? parts, which can be used to accompany larger enemies.

MELEE: bosses that deliberately attack you by colliding with you or making a part crash on you.

MAZE: it's a maze. self explanatory.

HUMANOID: a boss in the likeness of a human.

BEAST: a boss in the likeness of an animal/s

VEHICLE: a boss that looks like a ship, plane, tank, etc.

FORTRESS: a heavily armed stationary boss that may have drones and fighters guarding it.

BLASTER ONLY: a boss that has a covered core which cannot be penetrated by bullets and can only be damaged by blasters.

My Defense Turret is exactly that (Spiderpig example).

Insanity: Any boss that either A) Moves in an unpredictable manner at high speed or B) Fires plenty of projectiles in an unpredictable pattern.

Uh, that's all for now...*fail*

Wouldn't B be Bullet Hell/Weapon Rape?
Anyway:
castle computer crasher: a boss that destroys your hard drive. only one exists, and Henry555 (shockingly) DIDN'T make it.
