Thanks for the suggestion about using a unit to summon that mob; I didn't
think about that for some reason :(
I had it summon the boss unit after x amount of turns and then have it die
afterwards. Thanks again.

You could try giving it a point of which a certain amount is required
to perform the skill, then setting it to 0 and adding 1 each turn;
hopefully if it is the only skill it can perform it will use it, but
I'm not sure if the AI ever targets tiles. An effect with
fizzle_replace_terrain might be better (is it possible to place
effects on tiles and units in the map? I've never tried it.)
Alternatively, maybe you should have some unit/structure summon the
boss after a certain number of turns.
