The Deadliest Creature In The Wheel Of Time Revealed

In the vast and terrifying world of The Wheel of Time, danger takes many forms. But there’s a difference between what kills and what haunts. The most deadly creatures are not just those that destroy with brute force. They are those that leave scars on the soul, that shake the Pattern, that alter the course of fate itself. And to truly understand which creature deserves the title of "most deadly," we need to travel through layers of darkness — from the foot soldiers of the Shadow, through its architects, all the way to those that even the Dark One couldn’t control.
Trollocs are the beginning. Twisted hybrids of human and animal, born in blood-soaked laboratories during the War of Power.
Myrddraal— the Halfmen, the Eyeless, they are often known as Fades. If Trollocs are the Shadow’s teeth, Myrddraal are its knives.
The Draghkar was created by the Dreadlords during the Age of Legends by corrupting human stock.
Darkhounds raise the stakes. Massive, sulfur-reeking beasts that hunt endlessly, faster than horses and deadlier than most Shadowspawn.
Gholam looks like a man. But it has no bones. It slips through cracks in doors and walls. No sword pierces it.
And then come the Gray Men. The soulless. Not born, but made. These are humans who gave up their souls willingly to the Dark One.
Mashadar isn’t a beast. It’s a disease. A presence. A silver mist that haunts the ruins of Shadar Logoth — once the city of Aridhol.
Padan Feign changed that. Once a man, then a Darkfriend, then the Dark One’s Hound, Padan Fain was twisted by evil long before Mashadar found him.
Shaidar Haran looked like a Myrddral — but it was not. Taller. Smarter. Capable of things no Fade could dream of. It could suppress a channeler’s ability to touch the One Power.
