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.
Each chasmfiend has a large gemstone growing inside of it, called a [[gemheart]]. The gemhearts are the primary reason they are hunted, although meat and carapace are also harvested.{{book ref|sa1|13}} They also have a symbiotic bond with a [[spren]]. This bond is one of the factors allowing the chasmfiends to reach their enormous size.{{
Sometime during the strange life cycle of the chasmfiends, they each seek a large plateau, climb up onto the top of it and form a rocky chrysalis, waiting for the coming of a highstorm. They usually start pupating during the day - rarely in the evening or night - during which time they are extremely vulnerable. It is unknown what emerges from the chrysalis as it is during pupation that they are preferably harvested.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
