A page from the {{tag|[[Shallan's sketchbook|sketchbook}}]] of [[Shallan Davar]] depicting a [[whitespine]].

|Having only seen one specimen, in captivity, it is difficult to determine how the whitespine would behave in it's natural habitat. With tusks and claws like these, I can only imagine it being as terrifying as I have heard.<br />

The whitespine possesses tiny eyes in recessed cavities. It may have good peripheral vision but poor focus at long distances.<br />

The large nasal cavities suggest that it depends greatly on it's sense of smell.<br />

The tusks are highly prized as trophies. Artisans engrave the surfaces or carve them into various shapes. The tusks will change in color over time, from the natural hue into a smooth, polished white.|[[Shallan Davar]]'s description
