Terramorphous the Invincible is a raid boss in Borderlands 2.[1] It was conceived as a tougher follow-up to Crawmerax the Invincible found in the Secret Armory of General Knoxx add-on from Borderlands.

Terramorphous is an enormous unique thresher that is only accessible once the main story has been completed. Terramorphous can be fought multiple times for the cost of 8 Eridium to access Terramorphous Peak, and will drop different loot each time, including legendary items.

Background

It is revealed in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel that Jack's band of Vault Hunters (Wilhelm, Nisha, Claptrap, and Athena) were indirectly responsible for introducing the Thresher species, which is actually native to Pandora's moon, Elpis, to Pandora itself, by smuggling two juvenile specimens to Sir Hammerlock. Hammerlock proceeded to nickname the male Thresher "Terry", which later became the largest thresher on Pandora.

Involvement

Terramorphous appears in a mission named You. Will. Die. (Seriously.) The mission can be accepted from Patricia Tannis in Sanctuary upon completion of the main story.
