The '''inkspren''' are a race of sapient [[spren]] that dwell primarily in the [[Cognitive Realm]] of Roshar.
They tend to be attracted to people who are logical and willing to think through their decisions as opposed to acting on instinct.{{wob ref|1603}}

▲They tend to be attracted to people who are logical and willing to think through their decisions as opposed to acting on instinct.{{wob ref|1603}} Inkspren also dislike how humans change so often.{{wob ref|1603}}
Inkspren appear as black human-shaped figures dressed all in black. They have been described as being coated in what seems to be oil, and as having a mother-of-pearl or prismatic quality to their look.{{book ref|sa2|prologue
They dislike humans for their irrational and changing nature, considering them unstable. Their society as a whole is hostile to the idea of reforming the [[Knights Radiant]], believing that death is the only option for a bonded spren. It's implied they'd be willing to kill a bonded human to "rescue" their kinsmen from such a fate, even if the bonded inkspren entered the bond willingly.{{book ref|sa3|47}}

Unlike some other types of spren, inkspren cannot make themselves invisible to humans; they are, however, capable of drastically changing their size. Their upper limit is unknown, but they can become as small as a speck of dust, letting them move about unseen.{{book ref|sa3|53}} They are also capable of blending into shadows.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|3}}
Inkspren are one of the spren types capable of forming [[Nahel Bond]]s with humans. The bond makes a person a [[Surgebinder]], and grants the powers of [[Transformation]] and [[Transportation]].{{file ref| TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg | Surgebinding Table}}
