== Anatomy ==
Like all greatshell species yu-nerig contain [[gemheart]]s—of a, smaller than otherthose of larger species like [[chasmfiend]]s, but still aof substantialrespectable size.{{ref|b|sa1|c|40}} The chrysalises they make when they pupate are similar in shape and texture to those of chasmfiends.{{ref|b|sa2|c|49}}
== Ecology ==
Yu-nerig normally live in the sea depths,{{ref|b|sa1|c|40}} and only come onto land to pupate.{{ref|b|sa1|c|40}}{{ref|b|sa2|c|49}} They havealso aform symbiotic bondbonds with spren, like most creatures on Roshar.{{cite|this is from a [[spren]]book personalization that allowsneeds to be added to the interview database}} This is one of the factors that allow them, like all greatshells, to reachgrow theirto sizesuch large sizes.{{ref|?|977|158|What are the smoke-y spren that appear around a dead chasmfiend?}}
== Lore ==
Marabethian criminal code allows the prisoners condemned to capital punishment to be used as a bait for the yu-nerig in order to be pardoned. The criminals are dangled over a seaside cliff when the water is at high tide with a cut sliced in each of their cheekcheeks, and told their crimes will be pardoned if they hang there for a week and notare benot eaten by the yu-nerig. UsuallyThey theyare areusually attacked within the first day, yethowever most prisoners still opt to take the chance.
