==Physiology==
Physically, the kandra resemble a [[Mistwraith]] in their natural form, however, they are [[wikipedia: Shapeshifting|shapeshifters]].
 
Because of their advanced age, the '''First Generation''' appear to be made of darker coloured flesh which tended to hang off them. The bones that they wear are their own original bones, from when they were Terris packmen.
 
When kandra are in their Homeland, all subsequent Generations prefer the form of a [[True Body]], which is a set of false, generally 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.{{ref|annotation ref|mb3|page 140}} Kandra have spent ten centuries enslaved to humankind, serving the Contracts in an effort to keep themselves safe. Most of the kandra hate humans for their situation, but ironically, most kandra True Bodies are human-shaped, two arms, two legs, faces, even while they curse humankind for keeping them enslaved.{{ref|annotation ref|mb3|page 144}}
 
==Culture==
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 order to hire a kandra, they are to be paid in [[atium]].
 
There are other jobs for kandra to perform in [[kandra Homeland]], such as the teaching and instruction of a child kandra, something to be considered a prestigious job among kandra.{{ref|annotation ref|mb3|chapter=9}}
 
They referred to the Lord Ruler as the Father, because he was responsible for their creation. After his death, TenSoon advocated that [[Vin]] should be considered the Mother, because she was the one who had slain the Lord Ruler. It is unknown if other kandra accepted this title for her or not.
