hornlike
Like a tusk
Hornlike describes something resembling a horn in shape, texture, or hardness.
The word typically evokes the curved, pointed projections found on animals like cattle or rams, or the tough keratin material horns are made of: hornlike growths on the skull, a hornlike callus on his heel.
