Like almost all threshers, if its target is at a distance, it will fling spikes. |

Where most standard threshers attack with only a pair of tentacles, Turf threshers will deploy a large number of them, each flinging spikes at their targets, or swatting at them if they are nearby. Individual tentacles can be destroyed by shooting a small eye in the middle of the appendage, which will deal some damage to the Turf thresher as well. While not usually a major threat individually, Turf threshers can prove to be an obstacle, and in a group their barrage of attacks can quickly whittle prey down. In True Vault Hunter Mode, they are renamed Mossmud Threshers. |

Additionally, a Pyre Thresher generates a Fire Nova every time it surfaces, dealing massive damage over a large area to anything it is hostile to. They use this attack often, and as such they are capable of quickly downing a Vault Hunter. Badass Pyre threshers cannot be set on fire, and strongly resist incendiary weapons. |

Threshers are creatures that appear in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Threshers are stubborn, tentacled creatures that come in many different sizes and colors. Threshers tend to live in soft ground, especially along ocean shores or river beds.
Appearance
Threshers are long-bodied with a large, bulbous head perched upon an octopus-like body with several long, spindly tentacles sprouting from just below the head. Threshers vary in size from several feet long to fifty or more. Threshers' critical hit zones are the several small eyes on the side of their heads, and similar (albeit much larger) organs on their tentacles. Being well-anchored in the ground, threshers cannot be uprooted by Maya's Phaselock, and will instead take damage from it. When killed, a thresher's corpse will slip back down into its hole and out of sight.
