'''Yushah''' is a [[
==Appearance and Personality==
[[Venli]] observes Yushah's spirit in the [[Cognitive Realm]], describing it as the size of a building and twisted to the point of being unrecognizable as a [[singer]].{{book ref|sa3|115}} Her body manifests in the [[Physical Realm]] as a towering monster that resembles a skeleton made of stone, with arms as long as her body and hands that resemble hooks or spikes.{{book ref|sa3|116}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} Like other thunderclasts, Yushah is about thirty feet tall and has red eyes.{{book ref|sa3|116}}{{book ref|sa2|4}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
Thunderclasts are unusual Cognitive entities{{wob ref|15730}} that have existed since the [[Desolation]]s{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} and cannot usually be killed,{{wob ref|10440}} so Yushah's age is unknown.
She is incredibly strong and can easily crush enemies or structures with her massive hands. Despite her size, she can strike with speed and precision.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Conventional weapons cannot harm thunderclasts, but [[Shardblade]]s can cut through their hardened bodies.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
She can understand commands from [[Odium]] or the [[Fused]],{{book ref|sa3|117}} but does not appear to be able to speak or otherwise communicate.
==History==
Yushah and [[Kai-garnis]] were the thunderclasts awakened in the midst of the [[singer]] army before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], near the bay adjacent to [[Thaylen City]]. The spirits of the thunderclasts sank into the stone of the ground, animating it; Kai-garnis emerged into the [[Physical Realm]] first and was tasked with destroying the city wall and attacking the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]].{{book ref|sa3|115}} [[Dalinar Kholin]] knew Yushah had manifested a short time later, hearing the loud cracks of stone as her body took shape.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Yushah headed east across the battlefield, meeting Kai-garnis when she returned with the [[King's Drop]]; Odium assigned Yushah to help guard it.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Yushah stayed near the rear of Odium's army while Kai-garnis moved back into the city to attack the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
After Dalinar realized the importance of the King's Drop, he sent [[Lift]] to retrieve it. Lift pursued the [[Fused]] that was carrying the gemstone, but came too close to Yushah, who was smashing the ground attempting to crush Lift despite inadvertently killing nearby allies.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Yushah eventually landed a blow on Lift, severely injuring her, and moved to kill her. However, [[Szeth]] appeared wielding an unsheathed [[Nightblood]], cleaving Yushah in two and subsequently vaporizing her body.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
Nightblood is known to consume [[Investiture]] and destroy in all three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]],{{wob ref|3393}} and Yushah is permanently dead.{{wob ref|10440}} Yushah's death is not something Odium would have anticipated, and will have ramifications in the future.{{wob ref|10440}}
