fangs
Serpent's pointed teeth
Fangs are the long, pointed teeth that certain animals use to bite, grip, or inject venom.
Snakes have hollow fangs that deliver poison; dogs and wolves have fangs for tearing flesh.
In vampire lore, fangs are the signature feature that allows blood-drinking.
Figuratively, if someone bares their fangs, they show aggressive intent.
The word occasionally describes any prominent or sharp tooth: The kid's fangs came in crooked.
