With the arrival of the [[True Desolation]], it became apparent that the chasmfiends being depicted as Voidbringers came from the historians conflating them with [[thunderclast]]s -- another type of massive creatures, which actually serve [[Odium]]. Thunderclasts and chasmfiends share very few physical characteristics; most notably, their enormous size and the shape of the head. However, they are killed in very similar way, by slicing at their legs with [[Shardblade]]s.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
== Trivia ==
* The inspiration for chasmfiends was a [https://wob.coppermind.net/media/sources/255/Ben%20McSweeney's%20landscape%20concept%20art%20for%20The%20Way%20of%20Kings%2C%20November%202008.jpg concept sketch] that [[Ben McSweeney]] created when Brandon was braindstorming Roshar with him. The sketch contained a picture of a small crustacean creature hiding in a narrow passage based on a coral; the creature eventually became the chasmfiend.That same sketch led to the [[Shattered Plains]] -- originally part of ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' -- to be moved to Roshar.{{wob ref|8580}}
* The chasmfiend is Brandon's favourite fictional creature from his own works.{{wob ref|8529}}
