A person can become an Elantrian by being taken by the [[Shaod]]. The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night.{{wob ref|8409}} The people it chooses are seemingly random and may be from any age or class in society.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} The Shaod only takes people from [[Arelon]] or [[Teod]], and occasionally [[Duladel]].{{annotationbook ref|Elantris|chapter=55|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-5519}} It is suspected that this is due to [[AonDor]]'s close [[Connection]] with Arelon and its geography in general.{{wob ref|411}} A person needs to have some genetic ties to Arelon and be in Arelon to be taken by the Shaod.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=55|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-55}} Immediate proximity to Elantris or Elantrains do not increase one's changes of being taken by the Shaod.{{book ref|Elantris|2}} A non-human could become an Elantrian.{{wob ref|11629}}

Elantrians have "brilliant white" hair and "metallic silver" skin and appear to shine with an inner light.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} Elantrian bodies are fueled and constantly renewed by the [[Dor]],{{book ref|Elantris|19}} and if the Dor is blocked they quickly deteriorate. Elantrians heal quickly and are practically immortal, but being an Elantrian is emotionally and mentally exhausting and is one of the hardest forms of immortality that exist in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|5685}} They have superior strength and speed.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} Elantrians can still die of natural causes if left untreated.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}

The [[Reod]] has many effects (mostly bad ones) on Elantrians, possibly due to the dysfunction of the massive Aon Rao of Elantris city. Their silvery skin turns grey and is covered in dark splotches and their brilliant white hair falls out, along with other less readily apparent changes, such as their hearts ceasing to beat, breathing and eating are no longer needed, they no longer bleed, and their wounds refusing to heal.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=10|link=annotation-elantris-chapter-10}} Some functions of the body like muscles and blood flow continue,{{wob ref|8079}} and sleep and brain functions continues to work very similarly to the way it did before.{{annotation ref|Elantris|chapter=59-1|link=annotation-elantris-59-1/}} Although unable to heal, a Reod Elantrian can only be killed by decapitation or burning, while hunger or most fatal wounds will fail to kill them since the [[Dor]] will keep their bodies functioning. Other attempts to kill them will build up pain that never decrease, and can finally result in making them a [[Hoed]], leaving them filled with pain and unable to do anything other than moaning.

Some potential advantages come from being a Reod Elantrian. Reod Elantrains do not need to breath or eat,{{book ref|Elantris|13}} and they cannot be directly targeted by AonDor.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} A [[Shardblade]] will register them as half alive, half dead. They would be a flicker and depending on when they are hit the Shardblade might cut a body part off or it might leave it dead.{{wob ref|1363}} A Reod Elantrain can still be detected by [[Heightening#Fourth Heightening|life sense]] but they would appear as a stutter, with a flashing sensation.{{wob ref|1362}}
