'''Chasmfiends''' are enormous [[greatshell]]s native to the [[Shattered Plains]] on [[Roshar]]. They are large, crustacean-like creatures. They normally live in the chasms of the [[Shattered Plains]], hence the name.

The chasmfiend killed by [[Dalinar]] and [[Elhokar]] had violet carapace and uniform green eyes. Like most greatshells, it had violet, moldy-smelling blood. Chasmfiends have a twisted, arrowhead-like face, with a mouth full of barbed mandibles. They are long and narrow, and have a flattened tail, somewhat resembling that of a crayfish. They have four foreclaws set into broad shoulders that are used as primary means of attack, and about fourteen smaller legs used for locomotion. They are capable of vocalization, and usually bellow with four overlapping voices at a time.

It has been speculated that the chasmfiends are somehow related to the [[Voidbringer]]s after [[Jasnah Kholin]] found a picture of a Voidbringer very similar to a chasmfiend. However, as was noted by the participants in this discussion, this may be the result of an artist choosing the most terrifying thing she could think of, not actually having seen a Voidbringer herself. According to [[Adolin]], the drawing lacks a set of foreclaws, and is drawn more menacing compared to the modern version.
