==Description==
A twisted mockery of a natural creeper, the thrasher is a thick, undulating cable of dead plant matter and necrotic muscle. Its length is heavily armored with diseased, razor-sharp leaves that scrape against each other with the sound of rusted iron. Swollen, diseased nodules pulse erratically along its flanks, leaking a foul, necrotic sap that burns the very soil it slithers across.
