Although it is unclear if santhidyn are categorized as "[[greatshell]]s", they have some characteristics in common with other animals such as the [[yu-nerig]] and [[Tai-na]], and they are part of the same family tree as [[chasmfiend]]s.{{wob ref|7450}} Shallan observes arrow-shaped [[spren]], presumably [[mandra]]s, near a santhid.{{book ref|sa2|1}} These spren are known to enable animals to grow to enormous size on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|99}}{{wob ref|1806}} The size and anatomy of santhidyn may also indicate that they have [[gemheart]]s.{{wob ref|756}}

==Behavior==
Because sightings are so infrequent, the full range of santhidyn is unclear, although their size presumably limits them to deeper waters. They have been observed in Longbrow's Straits and the [[Southern Depths]].{{book ref|sa2|1}}{{book ref|sa2|11}}

==History==
Santhidyn are rarely seen by sailors, and even more rarely by scholars. A naturalist named [[Naladan]] spent her entire career chasing santhidyn and never got a good look at one. Sightings are so infrequent that there is a great deal of disagreement about their nature, and even their existence. Some corpses have washed ashore, but they are generally badly decomposed and not useful for study.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
