[[Image:Mon-dunethresher-concept1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Concept art of a Dune Thresher.]]
The Dune Thresher is described in an entry from [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0005|the journal of Abd al-Hazir]]:.
::''These beasts travel silently under the dunes, and attack surprised land-based victims, dragging them down under the surface. Due to the fact that the Threshers attack from the sand, many believe that they are safe as long as they travel on solid rock. This is a dangerous misunderstanding, as it's quite common for the Thresher to attack quite far up on the rock and literary drag their victim with them down below the sand dunes, likely suffocating the victim, unless it's killed before that. The attack is made with a jump from the sandy depths up unto the rocks. Professional Thresher-hunter [[Franklin Burroughs]] says that an experienced hunter could possibly survive such an attack, but the average city-dweller would be "lunch".
::''We currently lack information to tell whether or not the meat of a Thresher is at all edible, or if the only reason to hunt them would be to diminish their murdering attacks.''
Despite the imaginative fiction in this entry, there was no sign of Threshers sharing any sort of behavior relation with other animals in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] game demo. Scavengers weren't even found in the desert region with the Threshers.
