==Symbiotic Relationships==
Some types of spren live in symbiotic relationships with various other creatures extant on Roshar.<ref name=magicfish /> Perhaps the best known examples of this are [[greatshell]]s. There is a type of spren that lives in their bodies which contribute to their ability to grow to such large sizes.{{ref|?|977|158| What are the smoke-y spren that appear around a dead chasmfiend?}}
 
The "magic fish" of the [[Purelake]] are another example of Rosharan flora forming symbiotic bonds with spren.<ref name=magicfish />
 
The [[Parshendi]] also form symbiotic bonds with spren to enter different "Forms." [[Parshmen]] are Parshendi lacking a bond with a spren, and so have no Form.<ref name=eshonai />

It is also possible that the magic fish of the [[Purelake]] and the [[Ryshadium]] breed of horses get their unique traits from bonds with spren.
