}}[[Image:Witch_Doctor_Plague_of_toads_and_Dune_Thresher.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Witch Doctor]] casting [[Plague of Toads]] on a Thresher.]]Dune Threshers are apparently mostly located north of [[Caldeum]], which would imply that the game will take us to the surrounding desert areas. They are the croco-sharks of the sand and represent a great threat to anyone wandering the desert. Well, besides heroes like the average player in [[Diablo III]]. Above two primary front legs these beasts are equipped with a second pair of appendages in the form of gigantic talons which supplement its leap-and-bite attack. The beasts are very fast and most dangerous.
The animation shows the monster basically swimming under the sand, with the "shark fins" sticking up, implying that it probably travels quite fast when in sand.
As you can see here, a pretty nice hole is left after where the Dune Thresher jumps out. The splashes on him as both from the toads (the green) and his own blood (the red).
