Monster types in TnG

Question for the PC players with way more sophisticated tools at their disposal - what monster types are the bosses considered in TnG? I've heard a lot of conflicting information, so it would be nice if someone who has fully tested this (more than just "I noticed a difference", would like some real numbers to back this up) can shed some light on this.

The main purpose (if it wasn't obvious) is to optimize slayer rings and overload slots (ie knowing which slayer marks and slayer rings work on which boss). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Orcus is a demon prince. Undead slayer for second boss? Ras Nsi is clearly a Yuan Ti. No, haven't tested. If you have orange slayer rings you are a better person than I!

    I think what protagonist is getting at is that classification in terms of game mechanics can be difficult to discern by sight when it comes to kitchen sink "zombie-pirate-ninja-robot" type mobs.

    Ras Nsi, for example, is obviously Yuan-Ti, but is he also undead? We kill him once in the House of the Crocodile, and I don't know if he's supposed to be an undead abomination or simply resurrected when we face him in the Temple. Alternatively mobs like Ras Nsi and Orcus might not even be coded as a particular type. Would be interesting to get confirmation.

    House of the Crocodile boss is identified as an Elder, I believe. Not necessarilty Ras Nsi.

    I don’t think we’re on the same page here. Talking in terms of mechanics (e.g. X-Slayer, Y-Slayer), not what the mobs appear to be or what their unique names are.

    You do fight Ras Nsi himself in your very first run of House of Crocodile in which you save Celeste and first meet Acererak. In ToNG, he has been reanimated with the death curse. Subsequent runs of HoC will just be the Elder yuan-ti.
