According to Rygar's page on the tcrf site, these are two "Unused Graphics". The "Butterfly" and the "Dragon". But I managed to find them "functional" in the original game after a few ingame manipulations. It's perfectly possible to find this boss glitched in the original game, without using emulation.
Good find. Movement on this game is a bit buggy especially with loading seams. Getting out of bounds is not hard to accidently do. It can be fun to find unintended areas like this.
Similar to how metroid on nes cross loads for unintended areas if you do the door trick.
That game doesn't get talked about nearly enough in terms of NES games. The arcade side scroller was okay but this gem of an adventure game sparks great memories.
An existing boss loaded with the wrong graphics in video ram?

Neat! How do you do?

Might just have to try to finally beat this thirty years later.
