About the names

The game data does not store boss names. The names used here come from the game's own data cubes when they mention a boss (the Z-29 defense ship, the T-29 blimp, the Thunder HX-21, the dreadnought) and otherwise from the level pages of the Tyrian community wiki on Fandom. A name is used only when it can be tied to the boss the game tracks in that level: same level, same parts in every level where it returns, or a matching look. Each boss page lists its sources. Two groups have no known name and keep a descriptive one.

Armor in these tables adds the armor of the destructible parts at Normal difficulty; parts with armor 255 cannot be destroyed by shots. A boss may also spawn helpers that are not counted here. Some levels have more than one boss group, and a few large set pieces have no health bar and do not appear in this list.
