Battle Thralls: Difference between revisions

** Dogmatic Drones: The Mycon are the unholy combination of [[Planet Eater|Planet Eaters]] and a [[Horde of Alien Locusts]].

* In the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' Dark Sun setting, Enslaved Grunts come in both slave soldiers and gladiator varieties

* You can recruit such thralls in the first Medieval ''[[Total War]]''. Specifically, the expansion pack, ''Viking Invasion''.

** Still further back, in the ''Shogun: Total War'' expansion ''Mongol Invasion'', the Mongol's basic, cheap infantry units are basically Korean captives / vassals pressed into service.

* In ''Xenology'', the Ethereals are hinted to have turned the Tau into Battle Thralls for the Eldar since their innate warp resistance meant they won't be controlled by chaos nor be wary of being manipulated by the Eldar.

* Yuber from ''[[Suikoden]]'' is a mix of Barbarian Marauder (he destroyed a whole village because he was bored while waiting), Enslaved Grunt (he can be summoned and will work for the ones responsible for doing so.. at least until he's in danger) and Sneaky Merc (he actively seeks, craves and creates chaos and participates in most wars. However once he feels that he is in danger he will flee, usually by teleporting, and abandon the squad he was commanding and the battle he was fighting).

* In ''[[Belisarius Series]]'' the Rajputs and Kushans are [[Proud Warrior Race]] guys; both of them defected though the Kushans defected earlier(the Rajputs had to be left so that Belisarius would have someone decent to fight). These two are more [[Worthy Opponents]] then the rather grim jackboots described above; the Rajputs are aristocratic warriors and the Kushans tough professionals, not totally unlike Romans. The Ye-tai are barbarian marauders and the conscripted peasants are the grunts.

* An army of Enslaved Grunts pops up late in ''[[Code Geass]]'', {{spoiler|controlled by Emperor Lelouch's Geass as part of a deliberate play at [[Zero-Percent Approval Rating]] right before pulling a [[Silent Scapegoat]].}}
