(This reads as if Cultivation had direct influence on the sentience of Santhids)
'''Santhidyn''' are fairly intelligent gigantic marine animals 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 sighting them to be very lucky, and say hunting them brings bad luck. Decomposed santhidyn occasionally wash up on shore. Because of their rarity, there were no known pictures or reliable descriptions of live specimens until a santhid was drawn by [[Shallan Davar]].{{book ref|sa2|1}}
 
They are one of the few Rosharan species with a degree of sentience, due to the influence of [[Cultivation]]'s influence in the system.{{wob ref|2792}}
 
== Appearance and 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.
