They may have even less defence training than the old school wizards, and Thomas is young he may not have developed any sort of mental toughness like old wizards.

We are talking about an Outsider here, that is a different kettle of fish. That is what the whole star born gig is about, Harry was born being able to resist and fight back mentally, Thomas is no star born.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I am not just talking about Outsiders mental influence, I am talking about mental influence over Whamps.
We have not seen any outsider protagonists except for the corner hounds in this volume, we have seen Eb, and the other wardens and we have seen the Swartalves, both of whom should be capable of this. Introducing an Outsider we have not previously seen or heard about really does not make sense from the point of view of the narrative so far.

I'm talking how easily Thomas was over come and beaten up. I don't think that could have been easily done if he had been well fed. Now Shaggy managed to over come him.. Hmmmm.. Could one of the Svartalvs been a Skin Walker? Or..OMG, Mr Gray playing both sides?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Far more likely the Tarnhelm than a Skinwalker, what was that headband that Evanna was wearing at the function?

Eh, I don't know... we're told that pitting their Hungers against one another is an usual means of settling disputes in the White Court, so I don't think it's actually rare, just Harry's not usually there to see it.
And Lara did feed on Madeline in TC, it's just that in that case there was no real contest.
Now, there might be a specific interaction between two White Court Hungers, so they might not have an useful defense against other kinds of mental magic.
