			He was quick then to be on his feet and away from the thing that now lay twitching out its life upon the sawdust floor—the thing that had been his brother — which now, where the top of [his] head had been, wore a cap of writhing white worms of finger thickness, like some monstrous sea-anemone sucking vampirishly at the still-living brain!

			Thralls of Cthulhu were once mortal human worshipers who have been corrupted through years of psychic and ritual contact with [[Cthulhu]] and [[Star-Spawn of Cthulhu\|its kind]]. The result in its advanced stages is bloated, crouching, light-sensitive, greyish, doughy, gelatinous, empty-yellowish-eyed clawed, amphibious, immortal, and to greater or lesser degree mad. The creatures generally retain the ability to speak, but in a soft, gurgling, stomach-churning voice and, being formerly-human cultists, some Thralls are also able to cast spells.


			==Heresies and Controversies==
			<!--
			Optional. This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the creature's mythos.
			Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation;
			"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions;
			identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena;
			rumor and speculation... these contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.

			* Thralls can be compared to [[Deep One]]s, may be identical to them. (YSDC)
			* The [[Cult of Cthulhu]] may entomb these repulsive, insane, undying Thralls in cells where the Thralls might serve as guards for cult temples and compounds, and some of the more backwards and isolated cults might instead choose to worship the Thralls as effigies of their high-priest andgod, Cthulhu itself. (YSDC)


			==Keeper Notes==
			<!-- Optional. Suggestions for using these creatures in the CoC RPG, and in fan-fiction. -->


			==Associated Mythos Elements==
			* deity: [[Cthulhu]]
