I want to know some superboss monsters. Don't tell me about stuff like the tarrasque or beholders or dragons or liches. I want some more overlooked monsters. ones that are preferably challenge rating 17 or higher. Thanks in advance!
I was looking for obscure superboss monsters to add to d&d 5e. I found some cool ones like Avangions that I would love to see in 5e! I want to know about more of these obscure superbosses that were only in 1 or 2 editions. Thanks for the responses!

Pretty much any CR17+ monster should fit the bill, but:
Just to name a few groups of monsters.

To be clear, you're looking for things that may or may not already be in the game?
"Sooner or later, your Players are going to smash your railroad into a sandbox."
-Vedexent
"real life is a super high CR."

"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"

Yes. That's right.
Dahak - Dieties & Demigods
Ma Yuan - Dieties & Demigods
Cthuga's Flame Creatures - Dieties & Demigods
Shoggoth - Dieties & Demigods
Assassinator of the Gods - Dieties & Demigods
Not exactly boss monsters but could be quite challenging:
A grove of Vampire Trees with a twisted Druid
A pack of Vulture Lions
Pack of Devil Dogs - Fiend Folio
