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 finale of the Mistborn trilogy as haunting, translucent horrors—oozing masses of muscle fused with mismatched stone, metal, or wood into grotesque skeletal structures, marking them as diminutive cousins to the shape-shifting kandra from their distant Homeland. Though their full origins and purpose remain shrouded, they represent a chilling expansion of the series' cosmology, hinting at the broader perils beyond Scadrial's ravaged lands. Their introduction underscores the escalating revelations of the Final Empire's hidden truths, evolving the narrative from ash-covered skies to otherworldly abominations.
