Thrall

"The shadows have claws."

- Grimoire Description Thralls are monsters who compose the most common class of the Hive, distinguished by their lack of eyes with the exception of The Sunless Cell Strike, long claws, and almost skeletal appearance (though they do actually possess skin).

Overview
Thrall are the smallest, weakest and fastest Hive enemies. Their main purpose is to overwhelm their enemies with sheer volume and numbers, although it doesn't take that much effort to kill one. Feral and fearless, Thralls are a plague upon the battlefield. Their swarming, twisted frames are driven by unfettered rage, and of all the creatures of the Hive, they are the fastest.

Thralls are born from pupae laid by fertile Wizards. Upon hatching, they are fed a larval worm which enters into a symbiotic relationship with the Thrall. If a Thrall is able to fight and survive well enough, it will become an Acolyte. Otherwise, the worm will consume it for lack of killing.

Gameplay
While individually Thrall are the weakest Hive enemy, in large enough groups they can be deadly especially if they are supported by other Hive enemies with heavy weaponry. As with all Hive members, Thrall explode upon death, especially the Cursed Thrall.

With their sharp claws as their primary tools of attack, Thralls move quickly and in large packs to overwhelm their enemies.
