The thralls consume blood packs to survive.

To unposses press square or x on console:p

Thralls can gather resources for you if you make them

I've found that putting a Thrall into any of its helper modes and then leaving the area, they immediately stop working. Coming back you have to cryo them and then set them to it again before they start. This is the same for logging off and back on. This has to be a bug, because otherwise they're more headache than they are worth.

Can be possessed by a player idk how to unposses

This isn't Ark anymore man. I dunno what Ark has turned into, but it ain't this.
