Riftwolf

Riftwolves, also known as Wolves of the Rift or Rifthounds, are an elite enemy group hailing from the Abyss. They are mainly found in Tsurumi Island, Inazuma but can also be found in The Chasm, Enkanomiya, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Wolvendom (after completing Lupus Minor Chapter: Act I).
In combat, Riftwolves use elemental attacks, and any attacks that make contact (including those absorbed by shields) will apply a party-wide corrosion debuff, which continuously drains HP from all party members while active. Riftwolves also utilize a fury system, which accumulates when they are hit by Elemental DMG of their own type. When this bar fills, the Riftwolf enters an Elemental Devour state, which increases the ferocity of its attacks, but also decreases the Elemental RES of their own type.

Riftwolves are monsters from the Abyss that are said to be able to erode the boundaries of the world. They were created by the alchemist Gold who classified them as "Alfisol," however the Golden Wolflord was an unintentional creation. Riftwolves were once prevalent throughout Teyvat during the cataclysm, where they were the advance guard for the other monsters that were behind them. They are said to behave biologically similar to wolves.
After the cataclysm, the riftwolves were driven to low numbers by numerous hunts and resistances, but have started to re-emerge once more, initially on Tsurumi Island. A group of riftwolves also appeared in Wolvendom and began to cause havoc to the surrounding area.
In the , Riftwolves are described as "echoes left from the battles fought so many years ago," remnants of the disasters that plagued the Sumeru Desert at the time of the cataclysm. Small pockets of riftwolves can be found across Sumeru.
Small pockets of riftwolves can also be found in Fontaine, appearing through Beastly Rifts that were present on Elynas until they were removed by the Traveler. A large riftwolf nest had also inhabited the Roots of Erinnyes; coupled with a Root-Consuming Tumor, their presence caused the tree to become sickened, turning from bright blue to a dark yellow color. This nest and the tumor was exterminated by the Traveler and a Primordial Bathysmal Vishap. 
Due to the instability of the Ley Lines in Natlan, several riftwolves prowl the lands. Some riftwolves have also appeared in attacks from the Abyss, summoned by pylons ripped into the land.
==Trivia==
* According to , Alfisols are a soil order for soils that contain aluminium and iron. They also contain a clay-enriched and are typically very fertile.
