'''Other Spren Bonds''': Certain spren bond with animals native to Roshar, enhancing those animals and granting them abilities. Animals that are confirmed to have these bonds are [[chasmfiend]]s, [[chull]]s, and [[skyeel]]s.
 
'''Yelig-nar''': [[Yelig-nar]] is able to bond with a human{{book ref|sa3|118}} or [[singer]], and grants his host the use of all ten Surges.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} The people he bonds with appear to remain fully in control of themselves,{{book ref|sa3|120}} but they must control Yelig-nar if they do not wish to be consumed by him.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
 
'''Nergaoul''': [[Nergaoul]] is able to bond with a humans who embrace the Thrill.{{book ref|sa3|115}} This imbues them with bloodlust and the urge to fight above all else.{{book ref|sa1|28}} With the help of [[Odium]], he is able to fully control large groups of people through the bond.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
 
'''Seons''': A [[seon]] can create bonds with humans, including [[Elantrian]]s. Little is known of this bond other than that the [[seon]] follows and helps the person it is bonded to, functioning as a servant to the owner of the bond. Seons will automatically seek out a new person to bond with following the death of its master; often the new master has been prearranged. During the time of the [[Reod]], while the [[Shaod]] was unable to finish transforming a human into an Elantrian, any seon bonded to a Elantrian lost its mind and would float around the city, often near their master.{{book ref|elantris|4}} This bond is similar to the Nahel bond{{wob ref|3035}} and would grant some sort of ability if manifested on Roshar.{{wob ref|6928}}
'''Other Worm Infected Animals''' Other birds besides native island Aviar are able to eat the worms and create a bond with a new effect.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Also known as Type IV BioChromatic Entities. The only known entity of this kind is [[Nightblood]]. Nightblood is a sentient sword made using one thousand [[Breath]]s and the command to destroy evil. Nightblood will bond with anyone they wish to communicate with, and is able to read and speak with minds directly.{{wob ref|6928}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of Nightblood and not their ability. While idle, Nightblood reaches out to other people, tempting them to draw the blade. "Pure" people who cannot be tempted would feel great nausea, even induce vomiting. Anyone who is able to wield Nightblood and survive, bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=45}} Those unable to control Nightblood are become controlled themselves, leading to them using Nightblood to kill everyone around them and allowing Nightblood to absorb the Investiture from the victims including the spark of life (i.e. the soul).{{citebook ref|sa3|90}}{{wob ref|5879}} This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{wob ref|6892}}
 
'''Shardblade''': [[Shardblade]]s are able to bond with people through the use of charged gemstones. The gem is placed in the hilt of the Blade and after a week of constant contact, the Blade is bonded and can be dismissed from and recalled to the Physical Realm.
