Mistwraiths
creatureTranslucent, oozing masses of muscle and flesh with mismatched stone, metal, or wood forming unnatural bones like angled feet, heads on arms, rib-legs; cousins to kandra, smaller in Homeland.
Mistwraiths emerge in the climactic third book of the Mistborn trilogy as eerie, translucent cousins to the shape-shifting kandra, haunting the alien landscapes of the Homeland with their oozing masses of muscle fused to mismatched stone, metal, and wood forming grotesque, unnatural skeletal structures. Smaller and more primal than their kandra relatives, they represent a twisted evolutionary branch of Preservation's creations, underscoring the series' themes of corrupted immortality and the perils of divine experimentation. Though absent from the earlier volumes, their revelation in The Hero of Ages deepens the lore of cognitive realm entities, bridging the physical world's decay to the spiritual realms beyond.
