==Overview==
===Design details===
Thrasher missiles typically fulfil an anti-aircraft role.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p466}}{{Ref/Game|Id=plscarab|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Scarab|Quote=Banished Scarabs are armed with an unstable plasma beam that deals incredible ground-target damage and Thrasher missiles for air defense.}} Their delivery systems are capable of tracking enemy aircraft, allowing a barrage of missiles to home in on targeted enemies.{{Ref/Game|Id=plreaver|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Reaver|Quote=It is armed with Thrasher missile pods that track on enemy aircraft and a light spiker autocannon that can deter attack by infantry and light armored vehicles.}} If Thrasher missiles are fired without guidance, like for suppression purposes, Reavers also fire [[Wikipedia:Tracer ammunition|tracer]] [[Spike weaponry|spikes]].{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=14|Quote=The Reavers immediately began to spray suppression fire into the air, filling the brightening sky with missile trails and tracer spikes.}} In spite of its anti-air role, Thrasher missiles are incredibly powerful; a single missile is capable of destroying natural landscape and even [[Forerunner]] structures.{{Ref/Novel|RP|Chapter=38|Quote=All she knew was that as soon as Horvath vanished, a thrasher missile obliterated the translocation pad and a large portion of the outcrop, turning it into rubble and eliminating any possibility of returning in the future to access the pad and find out just where on the ring Horvath had been deposited.}}
