Thralls are enemies that Lara will encounter in Tomb Raider Underworld.

Thralls are creatures born from the Eitr, the fluid of life. According to Odin's script in Thailand, they were taken to the Underworld to guard Thor's artifacts.

There are three kinds of Thrall: the standard human thrall (Viking or Mayan), the yeti thrall and the quadruped thrall. For example, when Lara retrieves Thor's Second Gauntlet in the Croft Manor, two dog-shaped Thralls attack her [1].

Before Lara gets the Mjolnir, the only way to kill Thralls is to shoot them until they fall and then finish them by jumping on them.

In Helheim Lara discovers to her shock that Amelia has become a Thrall, or at least some kind of zombie. Amelia holds out her arms as if to hug Lara, but Lara empties both her pistols into Amelia, sending her back into the void. It is unknown at this point if Lara could have destroyed her mother by jumping on her.

The new expansion Beneath the Ashes features a slightly different type of Thrall, one which looks a bit like a medieval Crusader, armed with a helmet and a shield. Also in this chapter is found an artifact inscribed with a magic word which can control both Thralls and the Doppelganger, although the connection between the two types of enemy is unclear. Presumably either the Doppleganger is a type of Thrall or the magic word is very magic.
