Thrall Bounty Hunter — Background & Lore
The Thrall Bounty Hunter is a mini-boss 
Thrall of Lost Colony in ASA. It is a tougher, named version of the 
Red Element Thralls that leads one of the outpost missions.
Where to find it
Lost Colony only, where it appears as a mini-boss of the outpost missions.
How to get one
Thralls cannot be tamed in the wild. They are recruited from the vault of a cleared raid outpost mission, and the type you get is random.
Tips
Treat it as a boss: clear the regular Thralls around it first, and keep 
Blood Packs or 
Sweet Vegetable Cakes for any Thralls of your own, since that is how they heal.
