'''Cusicesh, the Protector''' is an extremely large [[spren]] in a bay neighboring the city of [[Kasitor]] Bay in [[Iri]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|twok|i|5}} It appears to be the only one of its type, which was unknown.
 
==Appearance and Attributes==
At exactly seven forty-six in the morning every day, it rises from the waters of the bay, sending out an illusory wake. At over one hundred feet tall, it is one of the largest spren [[Axies the Collector]] studied. It is a translucent blue color, ranging from deep blue in the center to a lighter blue on the surface. It forms four long arms and a face looking toward the [[Origin]] that shifts through male and female human faces. Some of the people of Kasitor worship it, placing golden pedestals out to honor it. It commonly leaves a feeling of being "drained" in those who witness it.
At exactly seven forty-six in the morning every day, Cusicesh rises from the waters of the bay, sending out an illusory wake. This happens without fail, and the locals can set their clocks by Cusicesh's daily appearance. It takes the form of an incredibly tall column-shaped jet of water, with four long arms that extend downward from the column and form fingers and thumbs. The arms always form in the same places, and the people in the city have placed large golden pedestals where the "hands" come to rest. It is a translucent sea-blue color, ranging from deep blue in the center to a lighter blue on the surface. It forms a face on a stumplike neck that always looks east toward the [[Origin]]; the face shifts very rapidly into different human faces, both male and female. The faces continue to cycle for ten minutes, and Cusicesh then retreats into the water, leaving another illusory wake.{{book ref|twok|i|5}}
 
[[Axies the Collector]] is an avid observer of spren and makes a trip to Kasitor to see Cusicesh. He notes several interesting qualities. It is one of only a few unique spren that he has encountered, and at around one hundred feet tall, it is one of the largest. It often leaves those who witness it with a feeling of being "drained".{{book ref|twok|i|5}}
When [[Shallan Davar]] questions her spren [[Pattern]] about the [[Voidbringer]]s, he mentions [[Odium]] and she considers that it might be another large spren like Cusicesh.{{book ref|sa2|24}}
