I think he is pretty easy.

Remember the Black Pudding from Cadash? The first time I encountered the Black Pudding, I was like, "Seriously?" Nevermind the fact that the Black Pudding didn't even look like actual pudding, but the idea that someone's consciousness conjured up an unfitting nickname for a boss that looked like a huge collection of empty snow globes is a curiosity in itself. Now every time I peel the top off a Jell-O pudding cup, Black Pudding manifests itself in the back of my unprepared mind.

Black pudding is from the 38 sided die casters, not original to Cadash.

the "black budding" impressed me a very lot when I first time saw it in the arcades

Exactly.

I really like the possessed room form Splatterhouse.  While it's an easy fight I am still blown away at the concept of fighting a possessed room!  It has to be the most imaginative boss fight  I have ever played.

The boss in Ys 1 that spends most of his time as multiple bats flying around the room, only to form into the actual boss for a split second making it hard to hit him. I always had trouble with that guy!

While technically not a boss...but the Troll in the caverns beneath the dungeon in Beyond Shadowgate.  There's a few ways to get past him, so I won't spoil it..  But a couple of the events with him are funny.  One of my favorite memories.

The Battleship from R-Type, maybe it's my favorite boss ever. I love the idea of the whole stage being just the enemy.

First boss from Image Fight II. Good way to tell right off the bat if you will be able to hack it later in the game or not is by how well you handle that boss.

STATUS: I love this idea of a "litmus test" earlier in a game that can test someone's mettle. I can't think of any right now, sadly.

one of the most adrenalin releasing boss ever in history of videogames.

Well, I'm looking forward to trying Image Fight II out soon after my copy arrives from Asia in a couple of weeks.  After Image Fight cleaned my clock, and after hearing how difficult Image Fight II is, I just hope to be able to even get to the first boss, much less beat it. 

[Tatsujin]

The way to the boss isn't much of an issue, so isn't the boss itself once you know his dirty tricks.
It's more the whole stress that is coming up during the boss fight. His fast rushed movements and surprises, accompanied by the stressful music.
