fang-like

Resembling vampire teeth

Fang-like describes something resembling fangs—the long, pointed teeth of predators or venomous animals.

The word typically emphasizes sharpness, length, or menacing appearance: fang-like icicles hung from the eaves, the creature's fang-like protrusions.

It can describe natural formations, architectural features, or anything suggesting predatory teeth.
