(→‎Appearance and Nature: It's getting increasingly ambiguous whether thunderclasts are voidspren or cognitive shadows.)
Thunderclasts are enormous stone beasts, easily five or six times larger than a person, with their hands alone being six feet long.{{book ref|sa1|60}}{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} They take a skeletal, humanoid form, with long limbs that end with spiky, clawed fingers. On their chests, they have rib-like protrusions, and there are ridges running along their backs.{{book ref|sa2|4}} Their heads are narrow and arrow-like, with glowing red eyes.{{book ref|sa2|4}}{{book ref|sa3|84}}

It's possible that there are other types of [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] entities that can create thunderclasts, as a [[spren]] is also seen at one point plunging into the ground right before a thunderclast rips itself out.{{book ref|sa2|4}}
