In summary, yes, it is definitely possible for legendarys to both show up in vendors, and to drop off normal enemies, though the odds are very low. Other than those instances, all of my other legendary drops have come from the items primary boss. The item was Sledges Shotgun, and dropped off of a normal Goliath in the Eridium Blight, killed while i was doing the LotR/Geary easter egg. Last night i got my first, and so far only, legendary drop from an enemy other than an items primary boss. Each of these were during Playthrough One.
BEST LEGENDARY RELICS IN BORDERLANDS 2 DLCS MOD
I have personally found 3 legendary items in vendors, specifically a low level Legendary Mechromancer Mod from a Zed vendor in sanctuary, a fastball grenade mod from the Ammo vendor at the beginning of Lynchwood, and the homing fire leech from the Ammo vendor in the Arid Badlands. Here is a link to his page on the Hellfire SMG, you can use this to connect to all his vids and you'll have whatever oranges you like in no time. Yoteslaya has in my opinion the best videos because he not only shows the enemy dropping the legendary, and where it is found, but he the tests it so you can get a better idea of how it functions and if it is actually worth all that struggle trying to get it. If you search youtube you can typically find the legendary items much faster by farming the boss with the best chance to drop the one you are looking for. Not saying it cannot happen, just that I have never seen it or heard any of my friends get one in that way.

Mike never gave me better than a purple (still, a free purple gun beats a slap in the face), and vendors do RARELY offer a legendary (i have only ever seen one and it was a granade mod in the ammo dump at terramorhous peak), and I have never been lucky enough to get a legendary from a chest anywhere. That said, The chances of her dropping the Nukem are supposed to be about 5% whereas Terramorphis seems closer to 0.01%. It usually drops off of a named spiderant called The Black Queen, found in the Dust if i am not mistaken. The legendary orange weapon i got is called the Derp Nukem. I farmed Terrramorphis for about 14 hours and only got one legendary weapon. I have seen for myself that any enemy with "the invincable" in their name can drop any legendary in the game BUT the chances of them dropping one are VERY low. This gets expensive REAL fast (it scaled based on level, at level 19, I had to pay $363 a pull, my friend was level 22, he was paying $550+). OH! You can also get Legendaries (citation/confirmation needed, this is 2nd hand) from the Slot Machines in Moxxi's at Sanctuary.
*Right at a set of stairs leading up to the main Sanctuary centerĭidn't know you could get Legendary's from him, best I got was a Purple on my first meet, then all Blues. *Beside the "This Just In" booth (This is where you'll encounter him on your first trip to Sancuary *On the other side of the radio in Moxxi's He's usually in the following locations in Sanctuary: I'm guessing a lot of those are from the side missions or you'd get them by killing BL2's "Secret Final Boss".
Yes, bosses can be farmed over and over until they drop their legendary.There's a relic that will enhance rare loot drops by 5% (I got my first one at level 9, it dropped from Warmong, Nasty Kerblaster) EVERY major boss can drop a Legendary weapon.
