Riff

"Riffs are masterful musicians. Very little is known about these complex monsters, but they do have some distinct and unusual habits. For example, Riffs use their flexible toes to select random objects from the ground which they inspect, then eat."

Description
Riffs are big orange monsters with three toes per foot, maroon hair, ears that look like the wings of a bat, and traces of feathers in their limbs.

When idle, the Riff will nod its body (as its head is on its body) and occassionally opening its mouth.

Song
Audio sample:

The Riff Monster's contribution to an island's song is playing an instrument resembling an electric guitar. The guitar is not actually electric, nor is it a real instrument: it is another monster that shares a symbiotic relationship with the Riff. The guitar monster produces sounds matching its real-life counterpart.

Breeding
The Riff can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements Cold, Air, Water and Earth without repeating any.

The following pairs of 2-element monsters can be used to breed a Riff:
 * Cybop.png + Maw.png Cybop and Maw
 * Quibble.png + Drumpler.png Quibble and Drumpler
 * Pango.png + Fwog.png Pango and Fwog

However, the combination of a 3-element with 1-element monster has a higher rate of success: The Riff is hard to breed, so you probably need to light a few Wishing Torches.

 * Pompom.png + Toe Jammer.png Pompom and Toe Jammer

Earning Rate
Earning rate is in coins per minute.

Maximum Income
Each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time.

Feeding Monsters
Each monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the monster's level increases the coins earned per minute. The food per level is the same for all four element monsters and can be found in this article.

Likes
Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25% (in other words, placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%).
 * Toe Jammer
 * Crumpler Tree
 * Bass String Bridge
 * Leafy Sea Dragon
