Several bosses in **Elden Ring ** make little to no effort to hide their evil nature and deserve their eventual fate at the hands of the Tarnished.

Before it was sealed in Maliketh's blade, the Godskins drew power from Destined Death for their black flames. These black flames that used the power of Destined Death were able to kill any god with which they came in contact because the black flames were the embodiment of Destined Death before it was sealed by Maliketh. Given the use of this power and the description of Destined Death, the Godskins likely see themselves as keepers of the natural order, with the Gloam-Eyed Queen leading them in their efforts to preserve said order. However, some of them abused this power, and it resulted in their def
