Badass Pyre threshers deploy a large number of tentacles, each flinging fireballs at their targets or swatting at them if they are nearby. Additionally, a Pyre Thresher generates a devastating fire nova with a very large radius every time it surfaces, dealing damage over a large area to anything it is hostile to. They use this attack often, and as such they are capable of quickly downing a Vault Hunter. Badass Pyre threshers cannot be set on fire, and strongly resist incendiary weapons.
