Over the year and a half sinceGenshin Impacttook the gaming world by storm, the game has played host to not only a growing roster of unique characters for players to control, but also a wide variety of unique enemies to battle. Fromcolossal beasts like the towering Azhdahato the several new smaller enemies each area has introduced like Tsurumi Island’s Rifthounds and the many variants of the game’s Ruin mechs, MiHoYo’s flagship RPG has created a slew of creative and fascinating creatures for players to encounter throughout their travels in Teyvat.
Recent patches have seen whole slews of new enemies added asGenshin Impacthas consistently expanded the Inazuma region since its highly-anticipated release in July. Alongside new variants of the Treasure Hoarders and Hilichurls, Inazuma has introduced wandering samurai, new Fatui enemies, and more to the RPG. The recently-added Enkanomiya also added several new variants of pre-existing enemies with Bathysmal Vishaps and new elemental Specters. Now, a recent leak fromGenshin’s closed beta testing shows off an enemy set to arrive alongside the upcoming Chasm region.
