I don;t think we can say that "all" Shadowspawn are constructs; Trollocs are bred, with their females kept safely in the Blight (I think the Guide says this). Myrddraal as well; not sure about draghkar or the worms. Clearly things that have stuck around since the Age of Legends are either immortal constructs or capable of breeding... nae'blis (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, they were still articially made though. From the guide
"Many of these creatures were created by Aginor and others, from existing genetic material. They were designed to breed true whenever possible, since natural procreation was more certain and less costly way to produce large populations than were labratory vats"
   —The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, Page 73

So I would definatly argue the articial part, plus they cannot survive Deathgates because they are artifical. I dunno, definatly still say constructs. --- Elliot N 07:24, 6 April 2006 (PDT)

Ahhh, I forgot about the Deathgates. If LTT says something specifically about it being because they're constructs, that's like the Creator's holy writ! Good catch, though! nae'blis (talk) 21:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

But if some Shadowspawn breed, then is the statement that Aginor created "all" the Shadowspawn accurate? Perhaps it should say he created the "first" Shadowspawn instead... Rccarman 22:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok does this sound better? And can anyone reference this statement? All Shadowspawn were made using the True Power? I don't remember reading this but my recollection is less then solid ---- Elliot N 08:24, 7 April 2006 (PDT)
Ok I stand corrected
"The True Power as well as the One Power was used in creation of Trollocs, which proved to be uncontrollable and useless as soldiers until the first Myrddraal were born, throwbacks to the human stock used in creating Trollocs, but twisted by the inclusion of the True Power in making Trollocs."

   —RJ Interview . But does this mean just Trollocs were created using the True Power?

I don't think it implies that just Trollocs were TP-born, since most Shadowspawn could be seen as "twisted" in some way. nae'blis (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
