Chasmfiends are the largest known land animals on [[Roshar]]: at least twenty feet wide, six times the height of an adult man at their peak, and over twice as long.{{book ref|sa2|72}}{{file ref|Chasmfiend.jpeg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Chasmfiend}} They are long and narrow, with a flattened, split tail reminescent of that of a crayfish.{{file ref|Chasmfiend.jpeg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Chasmfiend}} Like most of Rosharan fauna, they're crustaceans, with a carapace exoskeleton covering their entire body. Said carapace is dark violet (though it's possible that other colors can also occur), and extremely durable, being able to withstand even a hail of arrows.{{book ref|sa1|13}} It covers the beast's back in a series of interlocking, upside-down-V-shaped plates with horn-like protrusions growing on the edges.{{file ref|Chasmfiend.jpeg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Chasmfiend}} Beneath it, the chasmfiend's blood and gore is purple, and smells of mold.{{book ref|sa1|13}} The meat is edible for both humans and native fauna.{{book ref|sa1|15}} |
