The thrall looks to have once been humanoid, but her form has been mutilated into a tortured, stooped shape with a mismatch of clashing parts.  One eye is huge and insectoid, but the other remains painfully close to mammalian, its pupil bleeding into the bright green iris.  Her jaw hangs slack, forced open at all times by a set of bristled mandibles that seem to have a mind of their own as they twitch and clench.  Tumorous growths stud the thrall's spine, unsavory green where they are not blotchy violet-red with pustules.  One has burst to reveal a single rudimentary wing that resembles a fly's.

Hunting Strategies

Hive thralls have an unusually wide variety of abilities, including disabling combat maneuvers, disabling mental spells, offensive warding spells, weak physical attacks, or attacking with a variety of "naturally" produced bolt spells. They can give themselves Spirit Strike as part of their attack, and they use bolts with additional negative effects if they hit. They have fairly poor defenses, but can shake off stuns and immobilization, so finishing them off quickly may be wise.

Hive thralls can shake off stuns, potentially grant themselves Spirit Strike, and attack in the same action. They cannot stand up and attack in the same action.

Hive thralls have an SSR ability where they psychically project misery at their enemies, causing roundtime and a debuff.
