Here's some more ideas to make bosses more interesting (Destiny)

Just to be clear, I use the term adds in this post. Adds are extra enemies that appear during the boss fight that aren't the boss character. I've also only done three of the strikes, hoping to change that soon.

Sepiks Prime
This fight focuses on controlling adds so Sepiks doesn't go into a wild rage and destroy the players.
-Lower health a lot
-Make adds spawn on a timer (45 second to one minute)
-Since in the lore Sepiks Prime is supposed to be able to absorb souls, make him able to kill the adds that spawn to regain health and get improved attack, defense and speed for a short time
-Can chase the player around a little bit, since his close range attack does a lot of damage

Unchained Hive Ogre
The fight would focus on players managing their damage so that the boss doesn't always attack them and it constantly has to move about the room. Berserk mode is when things get hectic.
-A lot less adds
-Separate fight into three phases
1. Ranged phase - Slow moving, primarily uses eye blast, telegraphs eye blast a lot more but it does more damage, getting close causes the AoE ground slam
2. Melee phase - Starts when 50% health remaining, moves faster, targets player that did the most damage to it during the last phase, switches targets to player that did the most damage during last attack, uses eye blast on players who are out of reach
3. Berserk phase - Starts when 10% health remaining, moves very fast, switches between eye blast and melee targeting, bigger ground slam

Hydra Boss
This fight focuses on cover, and moving from cover and avoiding that giant AoE. More adds makes this fight more difficult because they might push you out of good cover into open terrain.
-Less cover
-Cover occasionally disappears into that fulcrum state
-More adds
-Every minute and/or quarter of health down, goes into an impenetrable shield and causes a large AoE attack that instakills, players must find cover in order to avoid the damage
