'''Spanky''' is the nickname given by [[Hoid]] to a spirit-corpse of unknown origin that he rides in the [[Cognitive Realm]] around [[Scadrial]].{{msh ref|2|1}}
==Appearance==
Spanky is clothed in a white robe and floats face-down, unmoving, in the mists.{{msh ref|2|1}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
Spanky is a [[Cognitive Shadow]].{{wob ref|1542}} Hoid speaks to Spanky and they are able to mumble something in return, so they seem to retain a low level of sapience.{{msh ref|2|1}} It is difficult to move Cognitive Shadows between planets,{{wob ref|4843}} so it is likely that Spanky physically died on Scadrial. There are multiple methods of becoming a Cognitive Shadow in the [[cosmere]], but they are relatively rare on Scadrial.{{wob ref|4361}} Spanky's origin and the reason why they are mostly unresponsive to their surroundings are unknown.
==History==
As a Cognitive Shadow, Spanky was able to float on the mists of the Scadrian [[subastral]]. Because Hoid partly existed in the [[Physical Realm]], he used the corpse as a vessel to avoid falling through the mists.{{msh ref|2|1}} How Hoid first found Spanky is not known. He carried an oar that he coated with a glowing substance made of [[Investiture]]{{wob ref|1542}} in order to allow him to steer the spirit as he rode it.{{msh ref|2|1}} Hoid claimed that Spanky's parents were still living, although he was bantering with [[Kelsier]] and may have fabricated this fact.{{msh ref|2|1}}

==Trivia==
