# World Bosses
In Pirate Nation, massive creatures like the Megalodon, Sea Serpent, Kraken, and other fearsome beasts spawn occasionally and players must coordinate together to defeat them.
While a World Boss event is active, Players can battle one World Boss every x-hours (the duration will change based on the event) and must carefully select their target, Captain, and Ship.
A leaderboard tracks each player's total damage inflicted to all World Bosses, and if a boss is defeated before the event ends, players who contributed to its defeat will receive prizes. Leaderboard winners will receive both their Leaderboard rewards and the participation rewards.
The player who lands the final blow on a World Boss will receive a rare, 1-of-1 NFT of that boss. When a World Boss is defeated, it is retired from the game forever, and any boss that remains undefeated licks its wounds to plot future mayhem.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.piratenation.game/learn/the-game/world-bosses.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
