==Physiology==
Physically, the Kandra resemble a [[Mistwraith]] in their natural form, however, they are {{wp|Shapeshifting|shapeshifters}}.
==Culture==
The Kandra are known to be secretive, keeping to themselves and mistrusting of all others including each other. Kandra keep religiously to an idea they call "[[Contract|The Contract]]", which is the system by which they offer their services to humans. In order to hire a Kandra, they are to be paid in [[Atium]].
== Creation ==
Kandra are created through the use of [[Hemalurgy]]. By giving a pair of hemalurgic metal spikes (referred to by the kandra as "blessings") to a mistwraith, it is granted sentience and all the powers of a kandra.
==
There are four different blessings available to make a kandra.{{ref|b|mb3|e|38}}
The first is the Blessing of Awareness, which grants a kandra increased senses, similar to Allomantically burning tin.
The second is the Blessing of Potency, which gives a kandra more strenth that is like an Allomancer burning pewter.
It is not exactly the same however, and it will not grant you the limitless energy you receive by burning pewter. The third Blessing is the Blessing of Presence which grants increased mental capability.
This Blessing counters the mental weakness that is caused by Hemalurgy, so the kandra with these spikes are much less vulnerable to being controlled through emotional Allomancy.
The fourth Blessing is rarely used.
It is the Blessing of Stability and it endows it's receiver with emotional fortitude.
== Relation To Mistwraiths ==
As stated previously, Kandra are mistwraiths altered by hemalurgy and given sentience. Despite the phsyical similarities, and indeed origins as a mistwraith, Kandra are considered a seperate species entirely.
== Abilities ==
Kandra have the ability to shapeshift. However, they only have the ability to change into and take the appearance of any creature they have digested. Because of this, in order for a Kandra to appear as anyone in particular, the subject must be killed and digested.
== Notable Kandra ==
*[[TenSoon]]
*[[OreSeur]]
== Notes ==
