Voidspren are spren that, instead of being connected to either Honor or Cultivation, are under Odium's control. They are similar to other types of spren in many ways, such as their ability to bond with things in the Physical Realm and their various shapes and habits. However, these spren fight on the opposite side of the Desolations, aiding Odium's goal to destroy the Rosharans and ultimately earn his freedom from Braize. Once entrapped by the Oathpact, the voidspren would torture the present Heralds in an attempt to get them to bend the bars of Damnation and release them back to Roshar.
==Bonding==
Like the other types of bonding spren, voidspren can only bond to certain individuals during certain times. For many voidspren, the Everstorm is needed for the bonding process, likely because of its output of voidlight. The lesser spren that create Regals can bond during highstorms, likely because the Regals can't invest the voidlight. The bonding process in the previous Desolations is unknown since this is the first Desolation when Odium summoned the Everstorm.
===Screamers===
These spren are similar to the above spren in their color, being yellowish-white, but instead of appearing similar to windspren, these look more like "vivid yellow spheres cackling with energy." They are used during the Seige of Kholinar to locate any fabrials being used in the city. If a fabrial is turned on, these 'screamers' will wail, then start twisting over each other above the area, alerting a quickly-following Fused. The screamers can also sense when a Lashing is used, but not when a lightweaving is created. Pattern explains that he and Shallan are quieter than Syl and Kaladin. The screamers may be able to sense the output of stormlight, meaning that illusions aren't detectable because they burn through much less than a Lashing.
===Thunderclast===

Thunderclasts are giant stone monstrosities that are shaped like skeletons with angular heads. Their voidspren are huge spren, roughly the size of buildings. They are "souls so warped, so mangled, they didn't seem singer at all,". To bond, they take the stone in the ground as their form, inhabiting it like a body.
