'''Mandras''' are a type of [[Spren]]. In the [[Physical Realm]] they are called '''Lucksprenluckspren'''.{{ref|name=Mandras}}{{ref|name=Skyeel}}{{book ref|sa3|99}}

Mandras have triangular shaped heads{{book ref|sa3|97}} , which are the exact same shape as those that are found near [[Greatshell|greatshells]] in the Physical Realm.{{ref|name=Mandras}} Their bodies are long, sinuous{{book ref|sa3|97}}{{book ref|sa3|99}} with multiple sets of legs{{ref|name=Mandras}} and multiple sets of undulating wings along their bodies.{{book ref|sa3|97}} The wings move at a regular rhythm.{{ref|name=Mandras}} They come in a variety of sizes{{ref|name=Mandras}} but they are bigger than Lucksprenluckspren.{{book ref|sa3|99}}

Mandras have a tendency to vanish, called "dropping". This is occurs when they get pulled into the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|99}} They cannot be brought into human population centres as they begin to waste away and die. Why this happens is unknown to the [[Lightsprenlightspren]] who use them to pull their ships.{{book ref|sa3|99}}

Mandras are seen to be used in Shadesmar to pull ships by Lightsprenlightspren{{book ref|sa3|99}}, [[Honorspren]]{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|108}} and most likely more as every ship in celebrant has them.{{book ref|sa3|101}}{{book ref|sa3|102}} They are harnessed with a set of pulleys on either side of their body. To steer them in either direction the sailors shorten one of the pulleys and tie it off on cleats connected to the sides of the ship.{{ref|name=Mandras}} The Mandras hooked to the Honorspren ship have golden harnesses{{book ref|sa3|102}} and they employ more than just two, having Mandras attached to wings on the side of their ship.{{book ref|sa3|108}}

[[File: Luckspren.png|thumb|right|Sketch of a Lucksprenluckspren from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]]] Because of Mandras' tendency to "drop" the sailors always employ at least two Mandras{{book ref|sa3|101}} so they do not end up stranded.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Once the ships have docked the Mandras are detached from the ship using long hooks and lead away.{{book ref|sa3|101}} [[Adolin]] wonders if they are attached to the stern of the ship to pull them from the docks{{book ref|sa3|101}} but given that Adolin is [[Alethi]], a people who are infamous for knowing little about sailing,{{book ref|sa3|12}} this is to be taken with a grain of salt.
