tusked

Having protruding teeth

Having tusks—the elongated teeth that protrude from the mouths of elephants, walruses, wild boars, and certain other animals: a tusked elephant, the tusked walrus hauled itself onto the ice.

The word typically describes animals, though it occasionally appears in fantasy contexts for creatures like orcs.
