In
The Wheel of Time, a type of
evil creatures serving in
Dark One's armies. They are synthetically created, most, if not all, by
Aginor. They were designed to be very evil-type, that is, like killing and stuff. This of course means that they won't be exactly very civilized; of all Shadowspawn only
Trollocs have any kind of social structure and
Myrddraals intelligence.
