Mini-boss

A mini-boss is a creature that spawns with abilities or stats beyond what that creature type normally possesses. Not all creatures are capable of producing mini-bosses, but those that do tend to generate them in small packs. They can be differentiated from other creatures by the adjective included before their name (ex. ghostly, shining, etc), these adjectives also reveal the special abilities of the mini-boss.

Killing a mini-boss will grant long-term experience as well as normal experience

Mini-bosses may also be referred to as "glam critters" or "boosted critters" by some and their special abilities are sometimes referred to as "boons".

Abilities

Mini-bosses may be assessed to receive a hint about what their special abilities are.

Below is a list of the adjectives and the special abilities of the mini-boss baring them. This list should not be considered exhaustive and the abilities indicated by most adjectives are still in the process of discovery by the player base.
