A picture sent from Jasnah to Dalinar via [[spanreed]], combined with the similarities in appearance to [[thunderclast]]s or [[Chasmfiend|chasmfiends]], has led to the speculation the chasmfiends are voidbringers as well, and possibly some earlier stage in the development of a thunderclast. Jasnah states along with it that the artist might have only drawn the most fearsome thing she could imagine.
It is also speculated, based largely off of [[The Almighty]]'s declaration at the end of The Way of Kings that [[Odium]] is planning to attack, and his added implication that Odium is behind the [[Desolation]]s, that the Voidbringers are the troops used by Odium. Though there is no confirmation of this, the fact that each of the Desolations brings Voidbringers with it shows that the Voidbringers and Odium at least share some goals.
Alternatively, it may be that voidbringers are more accurately described as any creature (or object) bonded to (or possessed by) a spren of Odium. In this way, voidbringers are not a species or collection of species (e.g. parshmen/parshendi, chasmfiends, thunderclast); instead, these are simply creatures that have a predisposition to bonding Odium spren. However, it's not entirely clear as to whether or not their bond to Odium-spren is voluntary. So, it may be these creatures have been singled out for possession by Odium-spren.
