Any bosses that get scared of an unexpectedly overpowered player?

I remember this comment from @Clippy:

Grinding to level 99 on fast forward and then clowning on the final boss is one of finer pleasures in life.

After reading it, i always wondered... is there any game where the boss would notice an unexpectedly overpowered player?
I mean, like when you are way stronger than you are supposed to be at that point of the story... is there any game that considers that unexpected situation, and prepare a special dialogue/event/battle for it?

I don't know any example myself... but i think this is something that would make games a lot more fun!

I feel like Hades in FF9 has special dialog if you beat Ozma before fighting him.

EDIT: Also, not really a case of a boss being impressed by a character’s power, but Metroid Fusion has a hidden scene where ADAM is impressed with the player being exceptionally crafty and trying to sequence break. It’s at least an adjacent idea.

EDIT AGAIN: Also, I believe there is special dialog in Pokemon D/P/P if you evolve your Pokemon before returning it to professor Rowan indicating his surprise.

No, but reminded me of this.

Yup! These are pretty interesting cases!
Not exactly what i mentioned, but this kind of special interactions are always interesting in games!
