'''Mistwraiths''' were a species of creatures on [[Scadrial]].
They were created by the [[Lord Ruler]] from the [[Terris]] [[Worldbringer]]s after he took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]].
Through the use of [[Hemalurgy]] they could regain the sentience they once possessed, becoming [[kandra]] after being implanted with two Hemalurgic spikes. [[MeLaan]] mentions that removing both spikes brings the kandra back to their "primal state," once again becoming a mistwraith.{{book ref|sos|13}}. The transformation from mistwraith back to kandra is quick, as evidenced when [[Wayne]] replaces MeLaan's spikes after she experiences this firsthand,{{book ref|bom|29}}
Like kandra they appeared to be amorphous blobs capable of absorbing bones and tissue of other creatures to gain shape. However, unlike kandra, since they do not possess sentience these shapes were often horrific and mixed many different species into one.
Mistwraiths are people who have a blockage between the physical realm and the cognitive realm.{{wob ref|date=2012-09-27|1230|17th Shard Q&A}}
Evidence is not conclusive that mistwraiths still existed after the Catecendre.{{book ref|bom|12}}
