Player Name: Mica Creature Name: Thresher Maw Canon/Franchise: Mass Effect
Description: (wiki link)Thresher maws are wormlike, subterranean carnivores that spend their entire lives eating or searching for something to eat. They are enormous, violent creatures that burst up from the ground without warning when disturbed. They can grow in excess of 90 meters in length, though the full body of a Thresher almost never exits the ground and their primary method of locomotion is rapid subterranean burrowing.
In absence of prey, a Thresher Maw can survive by absorbing significant quantities of solar radiation via an unusual mineral-based form of photosynthesis, rather than starve. Their primary weapons include powerful whip-like sensory tentacles, razor-sharp mandible appendages— and a powerful acidic spray that they can spit hundreds of meters with remarkable accuracy, and which can eat through almost anything in minutes.
In general, a Thresher Maw is a massive, highly-resilient, fast-moving, acid-spitting, aggressive, territorial, pain in the ass. The generally accepted responses to Thresher Maws are heavy artillery, or simply moving to somewhere else. Fighting them on foot is not advised.
