- Gender Voice Actor Appearances The Thorian, also called Species 37, is an ancient sentient plant at least fifty thousand years old - its ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes its real age impossible to guess. The Thorian is a unique creature with mind-controlling and telepathic abilities, and a massive sensory network. It releases spores into the air that allow the Thorian to control those who inhale them, using pain to control their behaviour. These 'thralls' then tend to the Thorian and obey its will. __TOC__

There are several sensory nodes (some that are kilometers in length) that have smaller branches or tendrils. It uses the Thralls to tend to its large growth as well as protect it. The Thorian is killed by Commander Shepard, who destroys its neural nodes to weaken its hold against the walls, causing it to fall and die.

| - The Thorians believe that the Emperor's near-death at the hands of Horus allowed him to break the final bonds between the crude matter of corporeality and ascend to assume his true nature as a deity. His spirit wanders the void, travelling as a whisper in the warp, flitting from place to place and perhaps even time. Thorian dogma holds that the Emperor has manifested his spirit through his chosen vessels many times when his people needed him, but that these bodies were able to contain only the barest fraction of his power and soon withered and died. They await the day that he shall be reborn and lead his people onwards in a second, and final, Great Crusade. To this end, the Thorians closely study the interaction of consciousness, energy and the warp, believing that if they can manipulate these energies correctly they can channel the Emperor’s spirit into a suitable vessel and effectively resurrect the Master of Mankind. There have been many attempts to create a body suitable for such an important ritual, but so far none have succeeded. Followers of the Thorian philosophies constantly scour the galaxy for beings they call Divine Avatars, individuals of such power that they may able to contain the Emperor’s soul once more -- or be turned to evil by the Ruinous Powers.

According to the VI at the ExoGeni Corporation Headquarters, the Thorian is essentially "a weave of tendrils" that covers much of the surface of Feros with some sensory tendrils kilometres long, though in places they are gathered into nerve bundles or neural nodes. Though it is intelligent, the Thorian only regards other sentient beings as potential thralls. It describes itself as "The Old Growth." __TOC__

There are several sensory nodes (some that are kilometers in length) that have smaller branches or tendrils. It uses the Thralls to tend to its large growth as well as protect it. The Thorian is very intelligent. For unknown reasons, it allows its Thralls to continue living normal lives until they are needed. It also controls the Thralls through pain. It is, however, very careful to only hurt their puppets enough to force them into doing its bidding. The Thorian is killed by Commander Shepard, who destroys its neural nodes to weaken its hold against the walls, causing it to fall and die.
