King Thresher

Also known as Big/King Croc, Mother Thresher, and many other names
==Description==
The King Thresher is a much bigger and more powerful Thresher that spawns in the Starswept Valley, as well as the Depths, along with two smaller Threshers. It drops a King Thresher Spine that can be used for crafting armour. There will usually be a chest reward after you kill this monster. 
There is currently a quest in game in Starswept Valley where you are tasked with hunting a King Thresher for its scales. Upon completing this quest you will permanently receive the Thresher Scales Talent at Power 10. This quest can be completed/recompleted to get a hand of cards if you already have the Talent.

== Finisher ==
Name 	Description
Devour	Flings the victim vertically into the air with its mouth, then catches it to eat it whole.
== Passives ==
* Serrated Claws - King Threshers have 100% PEN and inflict Bleed on hit.
* Thresher Scales - King Threshers have 40% physical attack resistance.
== Tips ==
* The Burrow attack works differently from a normal Thresher's. Unlike it's smaller variant, the timing is much more strict or perhaps a better way to put it is that the AI is less "lazy". It is difficult to explain, so it is best to experience it for yourself to understand.
*If you are hit by the tail swipe, use your right-mouse button to un-ragdoll. It is recommended that you do this as it will allow you to react if it decides to you use Royal Breath afterwards (which happens often).
* This mob is one of the most dangerous mobs to encounter corrupted in the depths, second to only the Mudskipper Broodlord. This is a monster you'd want to avoid fighting in The Depths. You should only fight it if you are Power 20 with good gear and weapons, in a large group, and/or experienced. A corrupted King Thresher can deal up to a bar or more of health depending on the move. The 100% PEN + the high health pool means this thing can make quick work of you. However, the reward is remarkable as it will drop a duke size chest. This may mean you have a higher chance of finding Deep Gems or Enchantments. Regardless, it is still strongly recommended if you see one to just leave it alone. 
* DO NOT fight this monster on slopes as it will keep moving back it forth, thus making it more difficult to avoid/parry it's attacks. If possible try to fight it in a somewhat (not too) open and flat area. If it is on a slope, lure it to flat ground.
* Be aware your environment, have an escape route planned as it might save your life. If you are in The Depths, be wary for other monsters. 
*A safe way to practice fighting a King Thresher would be to head to the Lightkeeper temple located on the far right side of Starswept Valley. Once you enter, on your right you will see a King Thresher in a room full of books. This method will allow you to escape through the small doorway if your low, but do be warned as there are other threshers in the area. 
==Trivia==
*Royal breath doesn’t block break, instead being a block and parry bypass.
*Royal breath, despite the visuals, is not flame and has never been flame.
