Thresher Maws

Thresher Maws



A rare species usally found on worlds with extremely hostile environments. Threshers are solitary creatures; at most, two or three can be found on a single planet. They travel and live underground; aremarkable fact considering their immense size. Threshers can grow to be in exess of 30 meteres tall above ground with a body nearly twice that size hidden beneath the surface.

Agressive and highly territorial, threshers feed by absorbing huge amounts of solar radiation and survive best on planets, asteroids, or moons with little or no atmosphere. Threshers also consume minerals and ores from the ground itself and use a odd form of photosynthesis to combine solar radiation and minerals into energy they can use fuel their significant mass.
