* TautologicalTemplar: An issue that has popped up with Honorspren is that since they are made of Honor, ''whatever'' they do is honorable, and they hold the definition of honor. This has led to very haughty culture, with high amounts of isolationism and elitism.




to:

* NatureSpirit: They are pieces of the Shard of Cultivation, which control that which can be grown and nutured. This is reflected in their appreance in the physical realm as masses of vines.

* BizarreAlienBiology: Coming from their Parsh ancestry. It turns out the reason they can eat horns and shells are their throat teeth. And it's implied that the reason their strong liquor is considered lethal is because it includes alcohols that are poisonous to normal humans.

* OddlySmallOrganization: The Sleepless number only twenty-four individuals across the whole of Roshar, which would be absurdly small for a group with as much reach and knowledge as they have, ''if'' they were humans. However, they are sapient swarms of insect-like beings with distributed intelligent and can communicate between their bodies regardless of distance, so even a single Sleepless can be aware of events on opposite sides of the planet at the same time.

* ZergRush: When a Sleepless chooses to fight, it attacks in this manner. Their "bodies" are vast swarms of creatures ranging from tiny flying bugs to colossal crab-like monstrosities, and they swarm a target with overwhelming masses of hordelings. Since there doesn't appear to be a limit to how far they can communicate between creatures, a Sleepless can afford to throw away a large portion of their body at a target while the rest of it is scattered safely elsewhere on the planet.
