Dead Thrall raises a dead humanoid – up to level 40 – as a permanent servant. It follows and fights for you until it’s killed, banished or turned, and unlike other zombies it doesn’t turn to ash, so you can raise it again. Give it better gear and it fights better.
Tips
With Twin Souls you can keep two thralls, or one thrall and an atronach or Dremora.
