Rosharan fauna have adapted to their unique environment in a number of interesting ways. Lower than usual gravity allows some of the native creatures to grow spectacularly large.{{qa ref|532|3|Did you have to do lots of research?|date=Sep 16th, 2010}} There are crustaceans (ranging from tiny crabs to lumbering chulls) and molluscs that retreat into their shells during the highstorms. Others have dens or pupate. There are also creatures, like the warm-blooded [[sarpenthyn]], that vaguely resemble a tentacled mollusc with no shell and can ooze into the cracks between rocks.
It is easier for animals on Roshar to attain some degree of sentience because of something to do with Cultivation.{{url ref|url=http://kogiopsis.tumblr.com/post/130672195244|site=Kogiopsis' Tumblr|text=They're one of a few Rosharan animals with a degree of sentience. It's easier on Roshar for this to happen. (Kayla, to clarify: Because of Cultivation? Brandon: Yes.)|date=Oct 7th, 2015}}
