This card's artwork is similar to that of Closed Forest.
Incidentally, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, both cards are used by Signers (this card by Akiza Izinski and Closed Forest by Devack, who is a Dark Signer). Moreover coincidentally, both cards' artworks possess antipodal color schemes in respect to both types of Signers, with this card's having mostly lighter colors, whereas Closed Forests has mostly darker colors.
This card, like Black Rose Dragon, references the personality of Akiza Izinski. This card represents the pain she felt from her past and how she wished to take it out on others.
This card shares similarities with Double Tool C&D in that it can only be equipped to either a specific Signer Dragon or a certain Type of monster. In this case, Black Rose Dragon or Plant monsters.

TCG Rulings
“Thorn of Malice’s” effect that reduces a monster’s ATK & DEF starts a Chain.: Raging Battle -- Card Rulings (version 1.2)
The ATK & DEF reduction from “Thorn of Malice” lasts as long as the reduced monster is face-up on the field. Effects like “Imperial Order” or “Spell Canceller” will not remove the ATK & DEF reduction.
If your monster equipped with “Thorn of Malice” battles a monster with equal ATK while both monsters are in Attack Position, your monster is destroyed but the opponent’s is not, because the effect of “Thorn of Malice” prevents it from being destroyed.
If your “Thorn of Malice” is equipped to your opponent’s monster, it will not prevent your monsters from being destroyed in battle with the equipped monster. Your “Thorn of Malice” only prevents the opponent’s monsters from being destroyed by your equipped monster.
