Most useless boss in a game

Im asking you all who you think is the most useless boss in a game. He had to be fightable though, not like General Scales from Star Fox Adventures. My personal opinion on the most useless boss ever would be Pete from KH2. I never lost to the guy even on the hardest difficulty. If you ask me, he could easily be removed from the game and nobody would notice.

Easily all of the Sonic vs. Shadow battles in Sonic Adventure 2. I mean sure, one would've been fine but there were like five. All you had to do was spam the A-button.

I was gonna say Scales or that yeti guy from Spyro the Dragon. Other than that?

I'm gonna have to say Vetch from Haven: Call of the King (in my opinion the worst game to see a release last generation). The whole game is spent building up to the defeat of the evil tyrant, Vetch, and culminates in a Krauser-esque cutscene fight that not only lasts no more than a minute and a half, but ends in the main character losing and being left for dead while Vetch flies off to continue ruling the galaxy. Seriously, what the hell?

Ygdrassil (sp?), the final boss from Tales of Symphonia. Due to some creative route choices I had made earlier in the game I was so ridiculously overpowered as a party that it took me just a few minutes to completely own him. Even the one-on-one fight with Kratos shortly before this had at least presented a challenge, but this... Just...no.

The final boss from FFX, I mean you couldn't even die. What was the point of that just make it a cut scene like everything else in that game :p

??? That's the point. It added to the intensity of the moment that you killed them in your control.

Heres another one, Whispy the Tree from multiple Kirby titles. I mean come on! Has anyone actually lost to the thing? I think he's just a waste of 2 of my minutes.

X's first encounter with Vile in the first installment of the Megaman X series comes to mind. Sure you could put up a fight, but it was really just an exercise in futility.

Necron from FFIX. while he was badass, he just randomly popped up at the last second.

Eh, Saddler killed me once. But Salazar can be killed easily with one rocket launcher shot, making him the most overdeveloped character in the game. Honestly, I can see something like El Gigante or Salazar's bodyguard going down in one hit from it, but Salazar is one of the main villains. A one hit kill just seems a little underpowered to me. Hell, at least Krauser is skilled enough to avoid getting hit by it.

Master Hand or Crazy Hand (seperated though) they are only slightly challenging and useful for A: a boss run or

B: when they are with each other and have around 300 hp EACH
