Description
Bosses:
Deviser:

Health: 440 Armor: 13
A Golem-like Sentinel with control over thunder. Don't be shocked!
Has a range of attacks, melee and ranged. Can stab and grab you, dealing big damage while you are grabbed, and is able to summon a rain of spears at phase 1. Can apply electrified from most melee hits, increasing damage from lasers, so it is advisable to dodge. Has 2 phases (summons rain at phase 2 as well as able to dodge and uses 2 more devastating attacks).
Can be summoned (for the meantime) by crafting a Thunderer Summoner block (3 diamonds, 1 netherite ingot and 3 of any stone), right click on the placed block to summon the boss. When defeated, drops Thunderium and Thunderous Essence, which are used to create 2 new weapons, Thunder Spear and Deviser Gauntlet, both allowing you to harness some of the boss' attacks.
Boss Music used: Nemesis by Light Canvas.
Scorched Knight:

Health: 270 Armor: 15
Who or what is in that armor? A human? A blaze? Both!? All we know is that it wants to burn all its foes into the ground.....
Consists of melee attacks, a charge, slam, jump, and a special, dangerous move that leaves the boss stunned afterwards. Can apply a DoT called Scorched, which reduces a players offense and defense slightly. Can be found in the nether.
Boss Music used: Dragon Fire by Makai Symphony
The Silent Swordmaster (W.I.P):

Health: 700 Armor: 27
Only phase 1 as of now: Can dodge & block attacks, can grab and lift you in the air and slam. Has a fire wave attack that can heal the boss when it hurts you, then it can summon small tornados that carry and damage you. Has a dash and a jump attack.
Note: If your system isnt that great, I'd recommend disabling the boss' shadow trail in the config for better performance.
