A common type of spren that appear around people experiencing fear. They look like small, violet globs that crawl up from out of the ground and gather around the feet of the fearful.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} They seem to be attracted to the highest concentration of fear in an area; people experiencing less fear will fail to attract fearspren.{{book ref|sa1|32}} In [[Shadesmar]], fearspren appear as eel-like creatures with stumpy legs, ridges on their backs, and long purple antennae: the antennae appear to be the part that visually manifest in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|89}}
 
Among the [[listener]]s, fearspren look like long purple worms.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}. This is probably because they can see the entire antenna and not just the tip which humans see.

{{for|Stormfather}}
 
The Stormfather is one of the oldest entities on Roshar, having existed in some form prior to the [[Shattering]].{{wob ref|9266}} He is the Cognitive manifestation of peoples' impression of the [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|31}}. He exists mostly in the Physical Realm, with only a minor presence in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|107}} He commands the highstorms that circle the planet, with the ability to chose when to send one.{{book ref|sa2|83}} While he generally accompanies storms, his level of power allows him to be much more omnipresent.{{wob ref|4268}} He's one of the three main [[Bondsmith]] spren, granting the [[Surge]]s of [[Adhesion]] and [[Tension]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
To the [[singer]]s, the Stormfather is known as the Rider of Storms. At some point, he has switched sides to humans, leading to [[listener]]s feeling betrayed by him.{{book ref|sa2|i|5}} He was also changed by [[Honor]] shortly before the latter's death, providing him with more awareness, and partly merging him with [[Tanavast]]'s [[Cognitive Shadow]].{{book ref|sa3|113}} [[Dalinar]]'s ability to open [[Honor's Perpendicularity]] might have something to do with it.{{book ref|sa3|119}}
