Anything you can tell us about santhids?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
They're one of a few Rosharan animals with a degree of sentience. It's easier on Roshar for this to happen.

Because of Cultivation?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Also, santhids aren't based on anything in particular on Earth.
Questioner
Is there a relationship between the santhids and the chasmfiends?
Brandon Sanderson
Uhh… Yes.
Questioner
Besides them existing in the same place?
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, direct relationship? No, but in the family trees there is, y’know.
Questioner
[Question written down, unknown]
Brandon Sanderson
They can communicate with each other. So, there's at least one answer-- with the spren-- Yeah, but it's not-- you don't really communicate with spren in the same way.
Questioner
Can they get, like, Odium- or Cultivation- or Honor-oriented spren to kinda animate them?
Brandon Sanderson
No, that's not quite how it works.
Questioner
The intelligence in the eye of the chasmfiend, I was wondering. Or on the santhid rescuing her.
Brandon Sanderson
It's more, like, does a flower communicate with a bee. That's a similar sort of thing we're looking at here.
