'''~~Thralls~~''' are ~~monsters who compose~~ the most common ~~class~~ of ~~the~~ [[Hive]]~~, distinguished by~~ their ~~lack of visible eyes~~ with ~~the exception of [[The Sunless Cell]] [[Strike]] or [[Crota's End]] [[Raid]]~~, ~~long claws~~, ~~and almost skeletal appearance<ref name= "Out Here In The Wild">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Out-Here-in-~~the~~-Wild/en/News/News?aid=11009 '''Destiny ViDoc 2:''' ''Out Here In The Wild'']</ref> (though they do actually possess skin)~~.~~<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 3, Activision Blizzard, [[Thrallskin Brace]]''</ref>~~

'''Thrall''' are the most common morph of [[Hive]]. Their main purpose is to overwhelm their enemies with sheer numbers, although individually they are easily dispatched. Feral and fearless, Thralls are a plague upon the battlefield.

==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~~.

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.

With their sharp claws as their primary tools of attack, Thralls move quickly and in large packs to overwhelm their enemies.<ref>[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eAbpZfqE8r4 '''Official Destiny Gameplay Trailer:''' ''The Moon'']</ref>

==Trivia==

*~~The~~ [[Ogre]] appear much like ~~the~~ Thrall but larger and stronger, suggesting rituals are used to turn Thrall into Ogres.

*[[Ogre]]s appear much like Thrall but larger and stronger, suggesting rituals are used to turn Thrall into Ogres.

*~~All~~ Thrall have three eyes ~~but they are very small and dark so they can only~~ be ~~seen in dark areas where they somehow glow~~.

*Thrall usually seem to lack eyes, but in some cases they have three glowing spots on their faces where eyes would be.

**However in [[Destiny 2]] [[The Ghost|Ghost]] says that the thrall of [[Grasp of Nokris]] don't have eyes when activating the [[Escalation Protocol]] and way track their enemies through very sensitive hearing.

*Given the Hive's [[Hive#Biology|odd biology]], it may be that all Thrall are biologically sterile females, as common to most [[wikipedia:Eusociality|eusocial]] species.
