Mortal thralls may become [[retainer]]s or even [[ghoul]]s if they prove exceptionally useful. Inversely, those with little to offer their master or mistress may simply serve as part of the vampire's [[herd]].

Vampires who are bound as thralls to [[Elders]] or even Methuselahs are more common in VtM than in VtR, since VtR vampires risk losing the power of the blood during [[torpor]] through the effects of the [[Fog of Eternity]]. [[Supernatural]] beings other than vampires rarely become thralls, although it is theoretically possible for any being that can be subject to the blood bond to be forced into thralldom. |
