Do I need to explain this again?
The fact that Bigfoot lacks the boss flag is, more than likely, not an accident. It was likely done on purpose to give us more options when fighting it. Doom, stun, full strength Powerguard, and so on are extremely useful when fighting it. With Bigfoot's ridiculous stats, like 90 speed, we need these abilities to defeat it.
HOWEVER, when they did this, they didn't think about the other consequences of setting it as a normal monster. They weren't expecting shadow web and poison. Think about the original boomer problem and this is the same thing. It's a new idea they were trying that got far out of hand. It's not a glitch in terms of technical malfunction, but more like it's a glitch of unexpected consequences.
I'm thinking they might try another solution aside from setting the boss flag. In particular, I expect that they may implement a sort of damage cap, similar to the ones on KMS Mansion monsters (You could never do more than 5 damage per hit, but naturally for bigfoot it'd be much higher). This would let us still use Poison and web, stun and doom without them going overboard. It's because they're trying to come up with this solution that they're taking so long.
