But there is not so many LA +0 critters in MM.Thrallherd ability works as per Leadership feat. And to understand that rule, you must read DMG P.106 & "SPECIAL COHORTS" entry in DMG P.199.Some monsters in MM have Level Adjustment value. And if that monster is not usually recommended as a PC but recommended as a cohort, the number is followed by (cohort) to indicate so.For example, Worg's Level Adjustment line says "+1 (cohort)". And it's number of HDs is 4. So, it is ECL 5 (4+1) and an equivalent to a 5th-level character for the purpose of being cohort (and to calculate XPs for leveling up).If there is no LA value for a certain monster, it is not recommended to be taken as a cohort (and thus as a thrall). Your DM may allow you to take it as a thrall and may assign it's LA by himself. But evaluating LA should be done very carefully or it will easily become a cheesy choice.</blockquote>
