@TSUF: I admittedly took a look at the sources shortly after posting my rather long-winded question, fail on me for not thinking of that sooner.

As for the existence of multiple bosses per floor, I'm kind of offended that you assumed I didn't know that already. About half of my question was based on the fact that floor bosses aren't the only powerful monsters/bosses that drop rare items on defeat. Not only is that made evident in the show and the novels I've taken the time to read myself, but it's also a fact in the (admittedly non-canon) spinoff video games, Infinity Moment and Hollow Fragment, both of which I've played through multiple times.

@Gsimenas: If you don't want your words to be quoted out of context, then specify their context when you type them. At least I cited where I heard someone (you) say that, so you could notice and correct me if need be, but some idiots would just take the words by themselves and spout them as gospel without even saying where they heard them from.

And by the way, I was skeptical when I heard you say that to begin with, so don't take me for the "everything I read on the internet must be true!" type. I've only read volume one (fan-trans, as I don't like how they did away with the in-game item/boss/monster/etc. marks in the official translation), parts of volume two (also fan-trans), and a fan-translation of "The First Day", and they didn't exactly leave that impression, but I figured he may have gotten better at it since then, so I took the words of someone more well-read than me at face value.
