Unlike the tank form, the thrasher form is not a [[flood pure form|pure form]], which requires that the Flood possess a fully-functioning [[Gravemind]] and a sizable reserve of biomass and calcium. The Flood on the Shield World was a [[Feral Stage]] outbreak with only a proto-Gravemind, which, despite its size and reserves, was almost entirely built out of material and nervous systems taken from the non-sapient life forms present on the artificial world.

The thrasher form is in actuality an unidentified indigenous animal that was infected and repurposed by the Flood, a process typical of a Feral Stage Flood outbreak, especially in the absence or rarity of fully sapient hosts. Other examples of infected and repurposed indigenous life forms can be seen in the [[bomber form]]s and [[flood swarm]]s, which are aerial life forms infected and put to use by the Flood parasite.
