The boss will only appear in the room or leave its passive state once a player has stepped far enough inside the room.

Initially, a Floor Boss will either not be present within the Boss Room at all, or will at least passively await combat. Some Floor Bosses also have minions that are constantly summoned throughout the battle to aid it in dealing with the players, though some bosses do not have minions at all. The second-most-powerful bosses are located on floors that are multiples of ten. The bosses on Aincrad's quarter floors are especially powerful and have led to numerous deaths in Sword Art Online.

According to the game's lore, these bosses were so feared by the populace that nobody even dared speak their names, which led to the names being forgotten entirely over the course of many years. Contrary to expectations, bosses that do not have any proper name are actually considered more dangerous than ones that do have a proper name. However, unbeknownst to the majority of the player base, there are actually two types of bosses that fall under this category: ones that have a proper name before the definite article and title, and ones that do not have any proper name before the article. Such monsters are colloquially referred to as Bosses-with-THE ( ザつきボス, Za Tsuki Bosu ?) by the players. It is common knowledge that superior bosses are distinguished from weaker bosses by a definite article ('the') in their names. In Sword Art Online, the two major groups of bosses are Field Bosses and Floor Bosses. Throughout the Sword Art Online series, there are several types of bosses that can be encountered: Floor Bosses, Mid-Bosses, Field Bosses, Flag Mobs and Dungeon Bosses.
