[[File:Rift-guardian-rime1.jpg|thumb|400px|Rime goes enrage-mode when near death.]]Rift Guardians are large bossesUnique enemies, randomly-selected from a large list of potential enemies. They that appear only in Nephalem Rifts when the playerprogress bar has reached 100%. (sThis requires about 500 kills.) in There are a couple of dozen different Rift Guardians, all with preset names and [[Nephalem RiftElite Affixes]] kill enough enemies (around 500) to bring the progress bar to 100%, plus some special unique boss talents.

[[File:Rift-guardian-rime1.jpg|thumb|400px|Rime goes enrage-mode when near death.]]Rift Guardians drop more items (including materials and gems) than any other single target in the game, and are the single best source for [[Blood Shards]], dropping at least 20 on Normal difficulty and far mroe more (80+) on the higher Torment difficulties. During the Reaper of Souls beta test Guardians dropped like any random Elite, with the main reward for clearing a rift coming in a [[Horadric Cache]], but this drop was moved directly to the Guardian during testing.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/legendary-plans-caches-rift-bosses-set-change-next-patch] * [[[Greater Rift Guardians]] were added to the game with Greater Rifts in [[Patch 2.1]]. These are souped-up versions of normal Rift Guardians, and behave just the same, appearing only when a Greater Rift is 100% completed and acting as the final boss of the Rift.

Some Rift Guardians are modified quest bosses, and players will encounter Guardian versions of [[Zoltan Kulle]], [[The Butcher]], [[Maghda]], [[Cydaea]], [[Leoric]]] and many several others.
