I'd say an optional boss is one that can be avoided using any means necessary. Well, not starting gifts though, but using means during the game, cuz I didnt even know Taurus was optional. Which would put Priscilla with the optionals, as her fight, and even her entire area is optional, especially if u aggro her only after talking to Gwyndillusion. As for Aldia, I would still keep him as an optional boss, since you can still beat the game without beating him, and you'd have to actually prolong the game if you wanna fight him.

That Taurus Demon though, he should not be optional. I mean, that just sounds like its assuming that everyone chooses the master key starter gift. Game should be beatable the same way for everyone, no matter the class or starter gift.
