The Tiger Thresher is a large fish-like beast that manifests within Barotrauma.

Description

The Tiger Thresher is bus-sized fish with six lateral fins, the last pair modified into tendrils.

The Tiger Thresher's slender body is silvery with darker stripes (hence the moniker of "tiger") and spots, including a black "collar" around the neck. The underbelly features light blue, presumably bioluminescent, spots. Its scales are small, except on the head and upper torso, where they seem fused into larger scutes.

The Tiger Thresher has three pairs of round, silvery eyes, and its jaws are filled with small but razor-sharp teeth. Its chin presents a "beard" of small tooth-like extensions.

In-game

The Tiger Thresher is capable of doing massive damage to a submarine with a single attack, but its ability to hurt the crew shouldn't be underestimated. The swift predator favors going after humans out in the water, and its razor-sharp teeth inflicts heavy bleeding on its preys.

The Railgun is a popular way to deal with Tiger Threshers, taking between 1 and 3 shots to dispatch one. In the event that a player plans on being outside during a Tiger Thresher attack, it is suggested they exit the submarine with an underwater scooter to increase their mobility and bandages to heal the haemorrhagic wounds the creature will try to inflict.

Trivia

• The Tiger Threshers possess similar traits to that of the Coelanths, such as their three pairs of eyes and tail. This may hint at a taxonomic proximity.
• Curiously, the Coelanth, the Tiger Thresher and the Scorpion all use the same sound files.
