fanged
With piercing teeth
Fanged describes something having fangs—the long, pointed teeth found in snakes, vampires, and predatory mammals.
A fanged serpent or fanged beast suggests danger and the capacity to bite or inject venom.
The word often appears in fantasy and horror contexts: The fanged creature emerged from the shadows.
