There is also "slaveform," which is not a true form, but the lack of a bond with a spren or lack of a form. The creatures known as the '''parshmen''' throughout Roshar are actually listener in this "slave form".
Parshmen live among humans (notably the [[Alethi]] but also in [[Jah Keved]] and [[Kharbranth]]{{book ref|sa1|3}}) and generally function as servants.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Barely of intelligence,{{book ref|sa1|55}} it is said that these people, if left in the woods, would stand around amiably until someone comes along to tell them what to do.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa1|36}} Generally, a parshmen would take orders without any objection.{{book ref|sa1|3}} They could speak but rarely did so.{{book ref|sa1|7}}
