Thresher maws are subterranean megafauna native to the planet Tuchanka in Mass Effect. They are worm-like animals that can reach over a thousand meters in length. They are attracted to surface vibrations, and will attack anything moving. They can also digest nearly anything, as even an armored vehicle will provide mineral nutrients that they can use.
Thresher maws are territorial, and they are especially aggressive toward any other large threats found in their territory, including Reapers.
Thresher maws were somehow distributed to other planets when the krogan race was given interstellar spaceflight technology to fight in the Rachni War. They have since become dangerous pests on many worlds.
Attributes
Thresher maws can grow to hundreds of meters in length, and their thick carapaces are difficult to damage. They are fast burrowers, and they can spit acidic slime.
Thresher maws are sensitive to vibrations in the ground, which they use to detect prey and rivals. The krogan use devices called "maw hammers" to attract them for rites of passage.
