'''Shalebark''' is a categoryclass of floraplants native to [[Roshar]]. Though it comes in many forms, it always looks like stone with retractable, often fanlike, tendrils {{article ref|Shallan's sketchbook}}. Shalebark grows wild in such diverse locations as the relatively barren [[Shattered Plains]]{{book ref|sa1|6}} and the jungles growing on the [[Tai-na]] in the [[Reshi Sea]].{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} It is also used extensively in landscaping across Roshar.

Shalebark often forms symbiotic relationships with fauna that is specifically adapted to each type of shalebark. For instance, plated stone, a blueish form of shalebark with yellow tendrils, has blue and yellow snails with flat shells that clean the shalebark and camouflage well when they pull into their shell. A knobby form of shalebark with fingerlike protrusions has tiny [[cremling|cremlings]] that blend in with the protrusions.{{book ref|sa1|39}}
