Description
Chasmfiends are the largest known land animals on Roshar. These massive crustaceans, called "beasts of the chasms" by the listeners, have a sprawling width of twenty feet, a height between thirty-six and thirty-nine feet, and a length easily over seventy feet. Their unique anatomy makes them well suited for life in their native Shattered Plains; with a long, narrow body, eighteen skittering legs, and armored carapace, a chasmfiend can navigate the chasms with ease and weather the highstorms above. Their thick eyelids close sideways over their green eyes, their four nostrils are small, and their small ear holes are set slightly behind their eyes.
These ruthless hunters can batter and carve their unlucky prey with their foreclaws, but their gaping maws are perhaps even more horrifying. With two smaller foreclaws, they snatch up food and push it into their jaw, where sharp fangs and thin mandibles navigate food to the inner rings of teeth and the final circular mouth. Chasmfiends are the apex predators of the Plains, hunting any animal found in the chasms between the plateaus. Many regard them to be the deadliest predators on Roshar.
The enormous emerald gemheart growing inside each chasmfiend allows them to bond with mandras-spren related to gravity. This bond allows the chasmfiends to reach a colossal size while preventing them from being crushed by their own weight.
Chasmfiends establish a nest in a chasm, hunting and scavenging from it until they ascend a plateau to pupate. However, in this state, the hunter becomes the hunted. While pupating, a chasmfiend can't protect themself; the chrysalis that forms around them isn't enough to protect them from people who seek gemhearts, and extracting the gemheart kills the chasmfiend.
Note: I converted the chasmfiend from the Cosmere RPG system. The original chasmfiend can be found in the Stormlight World Guide by Brotherwise Games and Dragonsteel Entertainment. All content comes from them.
