Further separating them from chalklings, Forgotten appear to be sentient beings and are capable of successfully imitating humans whom they take over.
 
Chalklings under a Forgotten's control can consume Rithmatists instead of just killing them. When this happens, the Rithmatists are turned into further chalklings that can then be used to attack and consume more people, with the added benefit of being able to reform after being destroyed by acid or Rithmatics.{{book ref|rithmatist|23}} However, they revert to human form if the Forgotten is killed.
 
== Trivia ==
* Before ''[[The Rithmatist]]'' was taken out of the [[cosmere]], Forgotten were [[Spiritual Realm]] entities that got pulled into the [[Physical Realm]]. This was the origin of their fear of time, as the Spiritual Realm does not have linear time.{{wob ref|1619}}
