In other a lot of other MMO's they feature a number of different "world bosses" which spawn in random locations on set or also random times. They are put into the games for casual players to mass up and kill these bosses for a chance to hit big on loot. We already have a similar feature that has some of the same effect but is exclusive to the wilderness and can be hard for players to either get to the boss in time or dont even bother due to risk of getting pked. I think if we added safezone versions towards the same affect would bring a very interesting and interactive global event for players. World Bosses are meant to be hard to kill so high health and high damage.
Successful MMO's who already have world bosses:
World of Warcraft
Black Desert Online
Guild Wars 2
Archage Online
Ect.
List of possible rewards:
Note: These are just ideas meant to spark conversation, if you have any ideas of other rewards feel free to comment. Also the boss/bosses arent meant to be a replacement for other bosses but more of a side activity, so less rares is better but good skilling resources can help.

- XP Lamp (combat or Any skill)
- Master Clue Rewards (https://gyazo.com/88...593f9b8a6655dc)

Giant Roc
Should be possible to also make a pet version with smaller models already existing
Penance Queen
penance queen pet also obtainable
Options
- Random Spawn locations close to major city's (same as skotizo)
- One consistant spawn zone for each boss (always for example in Al-kharid or somewhere multi combat)
- Specific safezone teleport designated for the spawn location of boss (like ;;events which is located above G.E)
- Need a special "key" to enter the "World Boss Zone" such as Dark Totems or some other useless item.
- Add mini monsters to the world boss who deal damage to players while trying to kill the World boss.
If there is a zone and players die will they lose their items? Or have to pay a fee to an npc to get them back?
Pros
- Gives more consistant activitys for casual or intense pvmers
- More loots/bonuses for players to get lucky for
- Another Boss for players to enjoy
- More skilling supplies for Ironman/regular players
- More accessible and can be harder as well for more of a challenge
Cons
- May reduce activity for Skotizo
- Might need a longer time interval then skotizo. Exmaple: Giant Roc has despawned and may spawn again within 2-4 hours.
Thats all i have for now i may add some ideas later on, but hopefully people are interested in the idea and can help brainstorm ways we can get this on Alora!
