Bishibosh is a Super Unique Fallen Shaman who can be found in a random Fallen camp in the Cold Plains. He is always surrounded by many Fallen and Fallen Shamans, although only two Fallen spawn as his minions.
Bishibosh can raise both Fallen and Fallen Shaman from death, meaning that Bishibosh has to be killed first, otherwise he will simply continue to raise dead monsters around the player.
As for taking him down, obviously elemental-focused characters will have a rather difficult time due to his various resistances, if at all possible use a physical attack to take him down, or plain magic. If you cannot find an alternative to your elemental magics, use cold, or lightning, not fire. Poison is also effective against him, and it allows you to hit and run. Basically, land a poison hit, run off and heal while you wait for it to do it’s work, and then return when it wears off. This is only viable in normal, and possibly nightmare when poison damage vs the monster health will be generally in your favor. Once Hell rolls around, poison becomes a much less viable damage type for all except poison necromancers, and possibly amazons.

Comments: Like other shaman SuperUniques, Bishibosh is able to resurrect other Shaman as well as Fallen. In earlier versions of the game shaman bosses spawned with a pack of shaman and regular fallen. Bishibosh could be quite difficult as he and his minions resurrected dead Fallen almost as quickly as players could kill them. This feature was removed in v1.09 when boss shaman were nerfed by spawning only with regular Fallen rather than Fallen Shaman. Bishibosh can still resurrect shaman but he does not spawn with a pack of them so you’ll only see this occasionally.
Bishibosh, along with Rakanishu and Colenzo the Annihilator, is a sort of demi-god to the other Fallen or Fallen Shaman, who often chant and mutter his name as they fight.
