A duration battle phase?
Cant kill it on time will make it enrage?
(OωO`)...
more like, the trigger was the alternating ganking mechanics.
Seems like if the boss/rare monsters are being fought outside of their usual style, they'll trigger a rage mode where they'll counter said tactics against them.
Hobgoblin getting parried => evolve to a brute force Goblin King to ignore parrying and deal direct damage
Black Knight getting ganked by "cowards" => change to a raging Zinogre and chasing enemies 'till their formation breaks down.
