Large, carnivorous creatures found throughout most of New Eden, Threshers are a very real threat to both the indigenous life in their habitat, and to the curious adventurers roaming the forests and countryside. These beasts are aggressive and extremely intelligent, and while larger threshers are almost always solitary, smaller ones can at times be found roaming in small packs. Regardless of their size or numbers, threshers are more than capable of overwhelming or overpowering the largest of beasts roaming the world.
Although each subspecies of thresher exhibits different physical traits, all are built to be a dominant predator. Due to the variety of threshers in the wild, those who are confronted by one (or many) must consider several factors. Some have razor-sharp claws that are capable of tearing through a brontodon’s thick leathery hide, while others can use their powerful jaws to snap the bones of its prey or bend the reinforced steel of a battleframe. Some of the larger threshers use their tails as blunt instruments, striking enemies or knocking them back several meters with a powerful sweeping attack. These traits make threshers, no matter their type, a danger to anyone caught unprepared.
