The Hunter’s Dream Expansion features the following set of Mini-Bosses,
Winter Lanterns
These nightmarish monstrosities instill the Frenzy condition into those that so much as even gaze over them. Should a Hunter accumulate too much Frenzy, their minds will break, insuring a quick return to the Dream and loss of all accumulated Blood Echoes.
Executioners

Enemy Hunters

Gehrman, the First Hunter

Whatever the reasons, Gehrman is the very embodiment of what it is to be a Hunter, and can employ all the tricks of their trade with a complete mastery of their execution.
