▲'''Santhidyn''' are fairly intelligent gigantic marine crustaceans native to [[Roshar]]. They are so reclusive that some books claim they are extinct. They sometimes follow ships, although all that can be seen from the surface is the top of their shells. Sailors consider hunting them very unlucky, and when one washes up on shore it is badly decomposed. Because of this, there were no known pictures or reliable accounts of them until a santhid was drawn by [[Shallan Davar]].{{ref|b|sa2|c|1}}
== Anatomy ==
Santhidyn have a dome shaped brown-green shell, about the size of three rowboats tied together and at least six or eight feet in height, on their top.<!-- how large is a rowboat exactly? very accurate measurement there, Shallan. --> The shell is sometimes overgrown with seaweed, and small crystals jut up from it. Underneath the shell, they are a knotted gray-blue mass. Their skin are rippled and folded, gnarled like an ancient tree. They have an eye as big as a human head and three enormous fins on each of their flanks. They have long, drooping, and very thick blue tendrils, like those of a jellyfish that disappear down into the depths of the seas, trailing behind the santhid at a slant.

They are generally considered harmless, although the lack of reliable accounts on them makes it suspect.
