==Forms==
The Parshendi could take on several forms which change their appearance, physical abilities and mental capabilities. There are seven known forms.
War form gave the Parshendi an armour like carapace, it also seemed to give them advanced physical capabilities although it severely hampered artistic ability and was not equipped to handle abstractions
Work form also endowed significant physical strength, although without the armour of war form and they have thinner fingers. While in worker form Parshendi find it difficult to commit violence and do not like confrontation.
They hired [[Szeth]] to assassinate the King of Alethkar, [[Gavilar]], on the eve of a treaty with the Alethkar people. They instructed him to wear white because it was a Parshendi tradition for assassinations.▼
Mating form was used for reproductive purposes, a few Parshendi maintained mating form constantly although most entered it only briefly in order to reproduce with a partner, if these partners later entered war form they became a war pair. it was a distracting form which made productive work difficult.
They seem to have an affection for the drum and other rhythmic instruments and sing while fighting.▼
Dull form was an older form which was rarely used after the discovery of the newer forms.
Slave form is the form used by the Parshmen although the Parshendi consider it to be a lack of a form, lacking spren, a soul and music.
Nimble form used by Parshendi scholars as they did not know the correct spren to bond for a scholar form, it did not impede the mind and the fingers were delicate enough for recording their findings. It grew long hair without any carapace to block it and had delicate swirling patterns in their skin along with a thinner facial structure.
Storm form was a newer form discovered during the war at the shattered plains, little is known about it.
