| “ | Before a young Riff is mature enough to enter a symbiotic kinship with a living instrument, it is first given an artificial guitar to watch over. This lifelike guitar not only train Riffs to be effective caregivers to their future organic instruments, but also provides them with a stimulating toy to fidget with when they get fussy. | ” |

| “ | Despite the effortless cool that all Riffs seem to exude, these feathery frontmen actually care quite deeply about their appearance. Their fashionably unkempt hair is a testament to this vanity. It is thus unsurprising that when a Riff begins to molt, it relies on its stringed companion for frequent flattery. | ” |
| — Adult Bio |
| “ | This Riff returned from the Prism Gate forever changed! It seems like the portal may have glitched and accidentally crossed over with the realm of Helmoth instead; besides having a new guitar (apparently on loan from a certain Grimnir Brawlfist), this influence of the Rage Brewer is evident in all aspects of this rocker's new appearance - extraordinary! | ” |

Notes[]
- Riff represents the Air Element.
- Riff was the final Natural Quad from the original game to be added to Dawn of Fire.
- It was also the final Natural Quad to receive its Prismatic variants.
- Riff, along with Spunge, were the first monsters since Deedge and Sneyser to be released as a pair.
- If you look closely during Riff's mute animation, the guitar's eye opens from time to time, technically making Riff the only monster in Dawn of Fire that open its eyes while muted.
- The guitars used by the Prismatic Riffs are based on the guitar used by the character Grimnir Brawlfist in Power Chord, another game developed by Big Blue Bubble.
- Adult Riff's profile shows that its wings are not over the border. This was later changed.
