Midnight Mother

Midnight Mother is the alias by which Re-Shephir is known. She is one of the Unmade, a mysterious group of odious spren on Roshar. Her presence there is the source of the dark aura in Urithiru.
She is responsible for Midnight Essence, the creatures she births. Such is mentioned in the death rattle of a darkeyed dock worker:
Veil acknowledges that the Midnight Mother had enveloped the gemstone pillar beneath Urithiru.
Shallan doesn't truly know how she drove away the Midnight Mother in Urithiru.
Midnight Mother is present early on in The Way of Kings, being the source of the monsters Dalinar fights in one of his visions. The Midnight Essence monster is described as feeling "too soft" when struck, "like a waterskin." It is "slick-skinned and black", and when punctured, they bleed smoke. On Shallan's venture to push the Midnight Mother from Urithiru, she, Adolin and Bridge Four fight similar apparitions in the shape of spearmen, although they quickly devolve into vaguely humanoid many-toothed shapes.
