Although warped and twisted, thunderclasts seem to retain some level of personality, enough so to answer to names and have a concrete sense of their gender. While they can obey commands, however, they do not seem capable of communicating themselves.{{book ref|sa3|117}} They are capable of making earth-shaking roars and trumpeting sounds to express their emotions, though.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
Despite being made of the same material as their targets, they do not crack, and it seems they cannot be destroyed by ordinary means, although hammers are given as a viable option for combating them.{{book ref|sa3|116}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} Another viable way to deal with them is to cut them up with [[Shardblade]]s to the point where they're no longer mobile, although this carries significant risk to both people and their surroundings. Indeed, [[Adolin]] theorizes that killing thunderclasts was in fact the original purpose of Shardblades, an idea mirrored by Szeth's thoughts on them.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} [[Nightblood]] and Szeth's "sword-nimi" can kill them for good.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
