===== Key Implementation Details =====
  * **Abstract Class**: Boss is an abstract class that extends Mob
  * **Boss Flag**: isBoss = true (set in constructor)
  * **Max Level**: maxLvl = 50 (all bosses scale to level 50 maximum)
  * **Pet Immunity**: cannotBePet() returns true (bosses cannot be pets)
  * **Death Enchantment Resistance**: Adds resistance to Death enchantment
  * **Psionic Blast Resistance**: Adds resistance to ScrollOfPsionicBlast
  * **Battle Music**: Plays custom battle music when in Hunting state
  * **Level Unsealing**: Unseals the level when boss dies (via level().unseal())
  * **Boss Slain Event**: Triggers GameScene.bossSlain() on death
  * **Skeleton Key**: Bosses carry a SkeletonKey (restored from bundle for old saves)
  * **Music Fallback**: Uses battleMusicFallback if primary battleMusic is not found
  * **Mod Support**: Supports ModQuirks.mobLevel for custom boss leveling
  * **ShadowLord Exception**: ShadowLord boss does not get SkeletonKey restoration fix
