Sightings of santhidyn are extremely rare. Even full-time sailors may only see one every few years. When a santhid does encounter a ship, they may sometimes follow it for days, even waiting at sea for the ship if it visits a port of call. Their large fins allow them to swim quickly and smoothly, and they seem to easily keep up with ships, even over long distances. They are generally considered harmless, and there are even stories about santhidyn saving people from drowning, although their presence still worries some sailors since they are enigmatic creatures.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
Santhidyn have some degree of sapience. This is related to the [[Shard]] [[Cultivation]]{{wob ref|2792}} and presumably facilitated by a relationship with [[spren]], although this relationship is not well-understood.{{wob ref|8302}}{{wob ref|2684}}{{wob ref|11667}} Shallan noticed that a santhid seemed to focus its eye directly on her;{{book ref|sa2|1}} she believed that the same santhid later rescued her from a shipwreck.{{book ref|sa2|11}}

[[Thaylen]] sailors consider santhidyn to be very good luck and a good omen, whether alive or when washed on the shore, and respect those they do encounter as if they were sacred. Killing a santhid is considered to be a monstrous act and rumored to attract extremely bad luck, and even the thought of hunting one is enough to make most uncomfortable. They often tell stories about santhid sightings and behavior. Scholars such as Shallan and [[Jasnah]] are aware of the reverence that sailors hold for santhidyn.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
Santhid shells are sometimes displayed in coastal cities such as [[Amydlatn]]
