Thorn Beast

The Thorn Beats are a species of non sapient creatures that were one of the many species that were used by the Covenant Empire as a food source for their military personnel during the Human-Covenant War, being considered a favorite food of the Jiralhanae, better known as Brutes. During a few battle of this war, the human's military force, the United Nations Space Command, or UNSC, encountered a few of these creatures which, despite appearing somewhat threatening to the humans, the Thorn Beasts seemed to be easily frightened by the soldiers.
