'''Prickletac''' or '''Twisted Spine''' is a type of plant native to the [[Shattered Plains]] of [[Roshar]] and other areas.{{book ref|
Only the buds at the very ends of the limbs of a prickletac shrub are actually alive.{{article ref|Shallan's sketchbook}} It is composed of a colony of tiny buds, each with a single retractable spine. Every new generation grows on top of the deceased generation below it. After a generation of prickletacs die, their remnants become stone-like, creating strong and inflexible limbs.{{book ref|
Prickletac spreads when a limb gets too heavy and breaks off. The living buds from the broken limb are scattered and form new plants.{{article ref|Shallan's sketchbook}}
