'''Chasmfiends''' are enormous
They are the source of [[Gemheart]]s, large gemstones over which the [[Alethi]] and the [[Parshendi]] fight continuously.
== Description ==
Chasmfiends are large, crustacean-like creatures.
They normally live in chasms on the [[Shattered Plains]], hence the name.
Each Chasmfiend grows a large gemstone inside, called a [[Gemheart]], which is the primary reason they are hunted, although meat and carapace are also harvested.
Strange [[spren]], looking like tongues of smoke, appear near a freshly killed Chasmfiend or other greatshell.{{ref|b|sa1|c|13}}
Sometime during the strange life cycle of the chasmfiends, they seek a large plateau, climb up onto the top of it and make a rocky chrysalis, waiting for the coming of a highstorm.
They usually start pupating during the day, rarely coming in the evening or night.
It is unknown what emerges from the chrysalis.{{ref|b|sa1|c|15}}
==Speculation==
[[File:Chasmfiend_old.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A picture of Chasmfiend sent by [[Jasnah]]. According to [[Adolin]], it lacks a set of foreclaws, and is drawn more menacing compared to the modern version.]]
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 he could think of, not actually having seen a voidbringer himself.▼
