    For this spooky season I’m going to be talking about my top 10 creatures of the Cosmere! This year Brandon Sanderson released 4 secret project novels and now that the year of Sanderson is coming to an end, let’s dive into the Cosmere and take a look at some of the wondrous and terrifying creatures he created. The Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, etc. What book/series has your favorite creature?

    Not me staying up till 5:30 in the morning to make sure I get this video up for y'all on Halloween 😅 What are your favorite creatures of the Cosmere?

      Is there an illustrated Cosmere guide out yet? As a BrandoSando newb I would love a visual illustrated book of the creatures and maps ❤

      ​@sharmisthabera2809 afraid not. And had to pause the book I'm working on for other writting work that could be really good for my writing career

    Inquisitors were so well written. Truly terrifying and creepy

    Kaladin is a creature if you ask me. He is depression given flesh.

    I'm SOOO glad you included Nightblood. One of my favorite characters (entities?) in the Cosmere for sure.

  • @tarancehill651
    @tarancehill651 Před 8 měsíci +5

    The Chasmfiend has always seemed like the ultimate monster to me.

    • @Brandon-9
      @Brandon-9 Před 26 dny

      Yeah, It was terrifying just imagining a scream from that thing approaching.
      Well... until i met the forests of hell. That book went to one of my favs of fantasy even if it doesn't have much history.
      Also I don't read a lot...

  • @Wordhopper1990
    @Wordhopper1990 Před 8 měsíci +10

    Nice video! There’s monsters/creatures in Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell, in First of the Sun, and in White Sand that I thought you would mention!
    I also really appreciate the originality Brandon brings to the table with his monsters! Within the context of his worldbuilding, it really showed me that how fantasy can move on from the classical dwarves/elves or vampires/werewolves genres.

  • @micdeezy95tillinfinity

    Dude someone should make a card game called Investature where you can sommon all sorts of monsters and use different abilities depending on your deck/investatures

  • @arenkai
    @arenkai Před 7 měsíci +1

    I agree, SkillShare is Sanderson's scariest creation to date. The way it appears everywhere makes me think there's more to the Cosmere than we might think...

  • @mandyhuybregts3235
    @mandyhuybregts3235 Před 8 měsíci +2

    i was so scared to start Sanderson. Because it's a huge series. But i just started Warbreaker and i love it! And now i want to buy all books hahaha

    • @CapturedInWords
      @CapturedInWords  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Glad you're enjoying Warbreaker!! It's pretty great! I'd recommend going with Mistborn or Elantris next, but you could continue with whatever series appeals to you most :)

  • @excellent.side.characters
    @excellent.side.characters Před 8 měsíci +6

    Mistwraiths were the first Cosmere creatures I came across, too :). For some reason then I first read TFE I used to picture them very similar to the transparent jelly monsters you encounter in The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 😅 (apparently they are called Chuchu).

  • @jdxunbreakable
    @jdxunbreakable Před měsícem

    Just finished RoW and am caught up in the cosmere (minus a few of the secret projects) and am finally able to allow myself to watch some videos without fear of spoilers. Really appreciate your particular analysis of things. I’d love to see a number of these creatures get their own videos. I especially think the sleepless would be a great deep dive, as well as the Kolass. The Kandra would also be very interesting. Long live TenSoon.

  • @NextChapterYT
    @NextChapterYT Před 8 měsíci +1

    We are rereading the Way of Kings right now and just got the to Chasmfiend again, I forgot how massive it is! Terrifying! Just makes you feel so small!

  • @Jed_Herne

    Man, your video editing is absolutely astounding. Loved this almost documentary-style look at the worlds of one of my fave authors!

    Kandra are one of my favorite things about Mistborn, such a unique society

  • @Brandon-9
    @Brandon-9 Před 26 dny +1

    What about shades from the forests of hell?
    I think is my top 1 if we talk about terrifying creatures of the cosmere.

  • @dinocollins720
    @dinocollins720 Před 8 měsíci

    Your editing and use of fanart is the best on youtube!!! Another fantastic video! thank you!

  • @arekschneyer3802
    @arekschneyer3802 Před 7 měsíci +1

    I would LOVE a spoiler episode filled with nothing but spren!!!
    I have taken, SO MANY notes about the spren, but I'm super far behind other people. I aim to catch up with them, all, someday.
    (I have this weird ambition of taking enough thorough notes on my reads through the cosmere, that I can actually find and deduce all the information that appears on Coppermind (with the exception of information sourced solely from things Brandon has said)

  • @IonTrone
    @IonTrone Před 8 měsíci +2

    Ngl... the idea of the Inquisitors still gives me the willies😳
    Emotionless, Implacable, seemingly Unstoppable flesh machines of deth. that just so happen to look human....ish.
    And the fact that they should be DEAD from all their spikes..... 😥😥😭

  • @Iso20227
    @Iso20227 Před 8 měsíci +4

    Sentient weapon? Already working on it in my book.
    It’s a sword made up entirely of condensed Ether, which in my world is also known as material magic (including telekinesis, atom stitching, and void storage or infinite pocket).
    It’s special ability is the power to separate matter.
    It doesn’t slice, it just slides the matter apart.
    It’s weakness is mana (elemental energy) and mana infused blades, which it cannot cut through.

  • @QCreyton
    @QCreyton Před 7 měsíci

    Glad you added nightblood as a "bonus" you needed to include something extra after using the same creature twice. Bit of a shame that almost everything comes from just two of the worlds in the cosmere.

  • @yesAgamerhere

    Any news about kkc?

  • @NerdBookReview
    @NerdBookReview Před 8 měsíci

    I've tried to start Way of Kings a couple of times and just didn't get into it but I've always loved Mistborn and the Steel Inquisitors. They were both terrifying and made me sad because it had been done to them and they didn't have free will.

  • @philippal7985

      Ahhh I totally meant to include them while brainstorming for this video, then I completely forgot 😅

  • @iwakeimmalamas2458
    @iwakeimmalamas2458 Před 8 měsíci

    So in my language (greek) Kolos means ass and it's even with the same spelling, everytime someone described a kolos i was waiting to hear a joke.

    No spren is better than Syl and no spren is funnier than Pattern.

    telling how can an inquisitors be killed is a spoiler
