Thresher

A monster that lurks in the sands of the Land of Wind and other places of the word are large serpentine shaped creatures, measuring upward to twenty feet, with some of the oldest and largest capable of growing beyond a hundred feet. With no eyes and a large beaked mouth with a split lower jaw and three prehensile tongues with mouths of their own, this creature exists as a perpetual gluttonous beast. Related to the worm, of all animals, these creatures are solitary and travel underground by burrowing and only surface to eat and consume food up to twice their body weight to sustain themselves. A Thresher never stops growing as they age, growing up at a quick rate and reach twenty to thirty feet in just one year of their life but with age they tend to grow more slowly while they continue to live up to hundred years. Some of the largest of their kind grow to almost hundred and forty feet after thirty years. Unlike many monsters, the Thresher is highly resistant to chakra and have evolved to become immune to natural chakra. Threshers are an evolved hunter from their natural enemy of humans, presenting a strong resistance to spiritual energy such as chakra with only Yokai and Demons being their natural bane. They are capable of regrowing their bodies slowly and can recover from a mortal blow with three hearts to keep them alive, fire is the one known way to make sure a Thresher remains dead among similar methods. Threshers often mutate, quickly changing their body when they feel threatened but opportune hunters can use this moment to strike as it is when a Thresher is most vulnerable.

Threshers are chakra sensitive as well and have developed a taste for those that can use it while harboring an immunity to natural chakra with only Demon and Yokai chakra capable of outright repelling them. Despite having not having eyes, the Thresher travel through a well developed sense of touch with vibrations through the earth upward to thirty miles while their sense of smell can detect chakra in the same range. These carnivorous worms prefer hunting those with chakra, the deeper a pool the stronger their desire to hunt with their favorite hunting grounds being large congregations of those capable of using Chakra and summon animals in their sagelands. This quirk has earned the Thresher an infamous status of wiping out entire towns and some of the largest have destroyed large sections of a sageland. They're completely immune to the petrification of natural chakra and with a Thresher continually growing over the years they tend to favor larger prey and have been known to consume Boss level summons as a morsel. These creatures, however, are rare in the world due to their hunts and breed slowly over time, while a newly birthed Thresher quickly grows. Most commonly seen in the land of Wind, they can exist anywhere in the world but avoid tundra and colder areas of the world.
