Because of their age, the '''First Generation''' appear to be made of dark-colored flesh which hangs off their skeletons. The bones that they wear are their own original bones, from when they were Terris packmen.
When kandra are in their [[kandra Homeland|Homeland]], all subsequent Generations prefer the form of a [[True Body]], which is a set of false, human-shaped bones that are crafted by a kandra artisan. Some True Body forms are quartz, and kandra show off their True Bodies by creating translucent skin that allows the stone to sparkle faintly in the light.{{
Kandra form an organ which functions as a brain to think. It doesn't need to be inside the head, and can be placed at a safer place in the kandra's body.{{wob ref|4147}}
The kandra are known to be secretive, keeping to themselves and mistrusting of all others, including each other. Kandra keep religiously to a social mandate they call the "[[Contract]]", which is the system by which they offer their services to humans in exchange for [[atium]].
There are other jobs for kandra to perform in the Homeland, such as the teaching and instruction of young kandra, which is considered a prestigious job among kandra.{{
They refer to the Lord Ruler as the Father, because he is responsible for their creation. After his death, [[TenSoon]] advocates that [[Vin]] should be considered the Mother, because she is the one who slays the Lord Ruler. It is unknown if other kandra accept this title for her or not.
