Skeleton No-Head MkII

Skeleton No-Head MkII, or Thralls, are a Race in Kenshi. They are a subrace of Skeleton. There are no Playable Characters which are of this race. Most Thralls are not able to speak intelligibly.
Apparently lacking a head has really weakened this race as they have the lowest Vision Range of any Skeleton. On top of that any debuffs which are applied from head injuries are permanently treated as if the Skeleton No-Head MKII has 0% health (so they will always suffer from -45% Robotics). As a bit of a tradeoff, they have a bonus of melee-related combat skills; Blunt Weapons, Heavy Weapons and Melee Attack. They are the only race to have 2 Weapon skill bonuses, even having one is rare.

== Lore ==
It is highly implied from several sources including dialogue with Cat-Lon that thralls are either jury-rigged or lobotomised skeletons. The former theory can be gathered from the skeleton shredders within the tower of abuse and the latter can be gleamed from Cat-Lon's speech before initiating combat.
== Trivia ==
* In real life, the word Thrall is a Scandinavian word for "slave or serf" during the Viking Age. Today, to enthrall means to captivate but archaically it means to capture as a slave.
* The missing Head counts as an Injury, giving a 56.25% penalty to all crafting tasks.
* While most of Skeletons possess the sturdy 200 HP body model, Thralls are among the only models that have 120HP bodies. It can be assumed that the weaker, perhaps service-oriented or creative-minded, skeleton models were enthralled en-masse by their sturdier cousins after the fall of the ancient empires.
