Is there a specific name for the kind of boss encounter the Tank is?

It doesn't have a boss room, it just spawns in a bunch of different spots on every map in the game.
It's not a typical OP boss fight either, it's got limited run speed, loses forward momentum if it jumps and it's usually done for if it gets hit with a Molotov.
If all 4 survivors attack it in an open space, it goes down pretty fast without doing much damage, instead it's reliant on other enemies and the environment stalling the survivors so it can run in and capitalise.
And there's a player controlled version in versus which can use a bunch of other strategies since it can communicate with other infected players.

The Tank's a lot like one of those giant, moving spike walls that chases you through an obstacle course in a 2D platformer.
It feels weird talking about it the same way you'd talk about a traditional boss fight in a game. What's this kind of boss called?
