tusklike
Resembling ivory projections
Tusklike describes something resembling a tusk in shape or appearance—long, curved, and pointed, projecting outward: tusklike teeth, tusklike growths.
The word typically characterizes teeth, horns, or other protrusions that evoke the elongated ivory of elephants, walruses, or boars.
