After seeing how Miquella appears in the DLC I'm deciding not to count it. Miquella has a character model and dialogue, but isn't the actual boss you're fighting. He's essentially the Serosh to Radahn's Godfrey - and though there's a difference since Serosh doesn't have dialogue, I wouldn't consider him an NPC.

He has not only dialogue but an actual attack (the grab). You're fighting both him and Radahn. Wrong resolution

Full transparency, I left on a trip out of state the day the DLC came out so I haven't played it yet. If anyone has and knows the definitive answer to this, feel free to let me know so I can resolve.

I don' t want to spoil anything but the answer is definitely YES as per our discussion from 2 weeks ago (comments below).

"has dialogue and a character model that you can interact with" is a bit tenuous. There kinda is a model, but not really unique to him

What are the exact requirements for this? An npc that you can walk up to and press "interact" to talk to? Because Malenia has dialogue but most wouldn't call her an npc

Sorry it was a bit unclear. I'm counting it as long as Miquella has dialogue and a character model that you can interact with, even in the context of a boss fight. So essentially it doesn't count if he only shows up in a cutscene or as a disembodied voice.
