The Thirst is a golem composed of dry river mud, the mystical "brother" of a being called the Waterbearer, an ancient goddess.
History
The Thirst had preyed on the deities who have watched over the Secret Sea, a metaphysical realm composed of the shared imagination of humanity, for millennia, absorbing their power.
When Aquaman became the guardian of the Secret Sea, the Thirst sets its sights on him. The parasite fought Aquaman several times, attempting to drain not only the rivers of Earth and the magical water of the Secret Sea of all life, but the Sea King's very essence as well. In their final battle, Aquaman stopped fighting the Thirst and surrendered his control to the light of the universe, the parasite was consumed by the holy power and destroyed, seemingly for good.
