Hypostasis

Hypostases are a Normal Boss group. They are lifeforms that have reached the highest level of elemental purity.
Hypostases are invulnerable when their cube-like shells are surrounding them and can only be damaged when their diamond-shaped cores are exposed, typically during or after they perform an attack. Their attacks deal elemental damage of their type and they are immune to said type.
After losing 95% of their health, Hypostases will typically enter a revival phase (with the exception of the Pyro Hypostasis) in which it spawns several elemental objects of its type that must be dealt with within a time limit, which if done successfully, will either immediately defeat the Hypostasis or allow it to be defeated the next time it takes lethal DMG.

* The first three Hypostases (Electro, Anemo and Geo) that were released alongside the Global release all have broken pieces on their shells. It is unknown why the Pyro, Cryo and Hydro Hypostases don't have such details. Similarly, the Cryo, Hydro, and Pyro Hypostases all have rounded edges on their shells, also for unknown reasons.
* The Hypostasis's design looks similar to the design of the World Pillar from Houkai Gakuen 2, MiHoYo's third game.
* Hypostases are the first and only boss series with all seven elemental variants, with the last of them being added Version 3.2. All Hypostasis Normal Bosses are located in Mondstadt, Inazuma, Liyue, and Sumeru.
** Mondstadt has the most Hypostases with a total of three — the Anemo, Electro and Cryo variants.
** Inazuma has a total of two — the Pyro and Hydro variants.
** Liyue and Sumeru share a total of one each — the Geo and Dendro variants respectively.
