What is the biggest monster in Horizon?

In the Horizon Zero Dawn universe, machines have invaded the world, and Thunderjaws have taken the title as one of the largest and most dangerous machines in the entire game. However, fans have debated and explored beyond the original game to give us a broader perspective on which machine can be considered as the biggest monster in the Horizon universe.

Large Machines in Horizon

Large machines in Horizon can fall into three categories: reconnaissance machines, combat machines, and support machines. They vary in size, firepower, and design. Tallnecks and Longlegs are the largest machines known to date, while beasts like Rockbreakers are smaller but no less aggressive.

Tallnecks and Longlegs – The Largest Machines

1. Tallneck: A Tallneck is a colossal creature with a massive body length of 20-24 meters (65.6-78.7 feet). It is supported by four thick legs that can be easily spotted over the horizon, earning its namesake. These creatures carry no arms and rely heavily on their height and imposing presence to deter predators.

1. Longleg: Longer than the Tallneck, Longleg is another enormous and fearsome creature with massive legs. Longlegs are designed to use their long legs to lunge at their targets.

Other Huge Machines

• Thunderspraw: Armed with powerful electrical attacks and massive wingspan, Thunder Sprawls can outmaneuver opponents by using their aerial mobility, making them a formidable but smaller opponent.
• Behemoths: Gigantic and powerful, their sheer size allows them to take down most opponents within a few blows.

• Rockbreakers: Small but incredibly strong for their size, these mini-tanks use their brawn to burrow underneath and attack enemies.
• Thunderjaws and Their Impact on the Debate

Thunderjaws possess 5000-6000 HP (half-life, in-game source) and have no equivalent in terms of sheer magnitude. They can destroy players with ease and dominate zones, making them an influential force in the game universe. However, it stands to reason that machines within the same universe may compete for the title of greatest monster.

Inferior Machines: How Close are They to Thunderjaws?

Comparisons with Thunderjaws on the scale of damage capability, size, and danger to players make the strongest contenders:

1. Tallnecks
2. Longlegs
3. Behemoths
   • Conclusion: Tallnecks and Longlegs hold their rank as the largest machines with Thunderjaws closely following as a deadly force. However, whether Thunderjaws themselves are the largest due to their impact and capacity for destruction, we look to the developers and mechanics to guide our judgment: the creators of Horizon Zer
