Songling
World of Origin Roshar
Universe Cosmere

Songlings are fist-sized creatures that live on Roshar.

Shaped like a peaked disc with four arms that reached out from the sides and scraped rhythms along the top. Four squat legs underneath are holding it usually to a rock wall.[1] Their singing sound is distinctly percussive.[2]

Shallan Davar notes that there are sometimes competing choruses of wild songlings near her home.[3] She also compares Jasnah Kholin to a songling, meaning that they are likely faster than many of Roshars creatures.

“But Brightness Jasnah had proven to be as elusive as a wild songling”

—Shallan Davar on Jasnah Kholin's propensity to leave before Shallan arrived.[3]

Wit tries to imitate the sound on his pipes, and then converses with the local wildlife.[2]
