10	Simply put, a character's protruding teeth are played for [[UglyCute unconventional cuteness]].
11
12	Most often, as suggested by the trope name, the character sports enlarged canine teeth. For maximum cuteness, at least one fang will be visible at all times, even when the character's mouth is closed, and especially if they have a PlayfulCatSmile. These indicate, generally, that the character is mischievous, slightly hostile, or a trickster, but not actually "bad."
13
14	Cute Little Fangs are pretty much a standard feature of {{Cat Girl}}s, {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, and other character types who fall under LittleBitBeastly. UglyCute critters tend to have these as part of their unconventional brand of cuteness.
15
16	Usually limited to comedies. Does not normally apply to Western-style vampires (they do have fangs, but [[FangsAreEvil not the endearing kind]]).
17
18	May be related to traditional Japanese supernatural monsters such as ''oni'', who are usually depicted with tusks or fangs meant to look rather comical instead of outright frightening. (This is explicitly the case in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', where a number of characters are AncientAstronauts versions of oni and other supernatural creatures.)
19
20	This trope is also TruthInTelevision. [[CuteKitten Many baby animals, whether]] [[PreciousPuppies of the carnivorous persuasion]] or the simian persuasion, sport them. In some cases, the eye teeth can be naturally pushed forward, hence giving one a semi-fanged appearance. Some domestic cats in particular, even as adults, have a tendency to have longer than normal fangs that give them this look. In Japan, this is called ''yaeba'' (literally, "double teeth") and is regarded as cute. Many girls actually undergo a surgical procedure to achieve this effect.
21
22	FangsAreEvil is usually the EvilCounterpart to this trope, but the two can [[CuteIsEvil overlap]]. Contrast ScaryTeeth (though a character with a FaceOfAThug may have both types at once).

35	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
36	* Careful S. of ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' has little fangs in his mouth.
37	* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': The ''Animation/PleasantGoatFunClass'' version of Wolffy, who is much younger than his normal version, has a little fang in his mouth.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Comic Books]]
41	* ''ComicBook/TheSnowCatPrince'': Syv has them, [[JustifiedTrope being a cat and all]], but so does Kit.
42	* As mentioned below, Beast Boy from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' was redesigned this way in the early 2000s after the success of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 cartoon adaptation]]. The pointy teeth and PointyEars helps accentuate his animalistic theme.
43	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
44	** ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and Sabretooth have them in some adaptations and when drawn by some artists, though describing any aspect of those two characters as "cute" is a ''real'' good way to have one's lifespan drastically shortened.
45	** Nightcrawler has these, DependingOnTheArtist.
46	** Jubilee gets them after being turned into a vampire. This turns her into a CuteMonsterGirl, especially when Sana Takeda draws her.
47	* The ([[CuteMonsterGirl quite attractive]]) [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll-girls]] in Creator/PhilFoglio's ''[=XXXenophile=]'' story "A Beautiful Tale". Actually, in some panels, they appear to have full-on ''shark teeth''... but Foglio somehow makes it work.

50	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
51	* In ''ComicStrip/OnTheFastrack'', [[spoiler:Thrip has become a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent cyber vampire]]. Even for her, the fangs are tiny]].
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Fan Fiction]]
55	* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'':
56	** Cú Chulainn sports two fang-like canines, seen when he grins or opens his mouth. These help in him looking like a wild animal/wolf. [[spoiler:They're slightly longer in his Alter form.]]
57	** Tamamo also has a pair of fangs, helping with her fox motif.
58	** Mordred has a pair of fangs.
59	* ''Fanfic/UsAndThem'': After [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aeris and Sephiroth]] find out their children are likely to be born with extra features, she opines that a child with fangs would be cute. Sure enough, their fourth son is born with fangs. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome And then she has to breastfeed him...]]
60	* Gray Ghost in ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' possesses sharpened canines, which become visible to others if her smiles show enough teeth. This is part and parcel of her entire 'cat' motif.
61	* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': [[SharkMan Miriam Ransdottir]], [[SnakePeople Lilith]] and [[TechnicallyLivingVampire Nabiki Tendo]] are all described as having fangs that glint cutely behind their lips when they're happy... and then turn into [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily nightmarish forests of razor-sharp enamel]] when they [[GameFace get mad]]...
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
65	* In ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', Mavis Dracula is a [[CuteMonsterGirl cute vampire girl]] who looks like a PerkyGoth with cute little fangs.
66	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Mei is partially transformed her canines get slightly pointier.
67	* Mebh from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'' has a small but still noticeable pair of fangs in her human form, highlighting her wild nature and the fact that she's a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wolfwalker]].
68	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', as young Nick is checking out his Junior Ranger Scout uniform in the mirror, one little fang pops out during one of his smiles then pops back in. His little fangs are also visible when he later recites the oath on the words "brave" and "helpful".
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Literature]]
72	* Rachel Morgan, from ''Literature/TheHollows'', spends several novels dating a living vampire named Kisten. As part of their sexplay, he gives her a set of 'caps'; prosthetic vampire fangs that young vamps wear over their ''real'' fangs in order to help prevent 'accidents'. When Rachel, a human (basically) tries them on, she finds the change in roles from prey to predator ''very'' hot. As does Kisten.
73	* Lily in the web-novel ''{{Literature/Domina}}''. Maybe a subversion, since it's mentioned that people who don't know her well think they're freaky.
74	* The short story "Green Shadows" from Alan Burt Akers' ''[[PlanetaryRomance Kregen]]'' series has the main character notice: "Her mouth was red, and a white tooth showed a tip just indenting her lower lip. Some folk find that no blemish but an added attraction in a pretty woman's face."
75	%%* Literature/MonaTheVampire. Though hers are fake.
76	* ''Literature/TheOtherworldSeries'' has Delilah D'Artigo, a werecat, who retains her fangs in human form. Her fangs are actually more prominent than those of her vampire sister, Menolly, as Menolly can retract them whereas Delilah cannot.
77	* In ''Literature/CodexAlera'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl Kitai's]] canine teeth are frequently pointed out when she has her mouth open, the implication being that they are longer and sharper than a human's (but don't take away from her attractiveness). Kitai, by the way, is a [[OurElvesAreDifferent Marat]] "barbarian".
78	* In the ''Arcana Chronicles'' Lark, [[spoiler: AKA Strength]], has these in conjunction with her animal-based abilities. She seems self-conscious about them until Finnian, the Magician, tells her he thinks they are cool.
79	* Each of the three titular characters in ''Literature/TheDogs'' have this as a defining trait of their species (an UnevenHybrid of dog and human), but oddly, it's something that most people either don't notice or shrug off as merely a fluke.
80	* Averted by Ripfang, a vermin from the ''{{Literature/Redwall}}'' series, who has a huge tooth protruding from his upper jaw. He ''really'' doesn't like people calling him "snaggletooth".
81	* Mima, the vampire J-Pop artist in ''Literature/AnnoDracula 1999: Daikaiju'', is described as having mainstream acceptance because "Her pearly fangs were ''kawaii'' – cute".
82	* ''Literature/RockoTheChristmasBat'' has a cute little pair of fangs. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], being a bat decoration.
83	* When she's in her CatGirl form, Danielle from ''Literature/MindGames'' has "adorable" little fangs, though they still presumably count as System weapons, which means [[spoiler:they're more dangerous than bullets to most System-empowered beings]].
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
87	* This is a fleeting example, but in the ''{{Series/Angel}}'' episode "[[Recap/AngelS05E14SmileTime Smile Time]]", when puppet-Angel switches to puppet-Vampire-Angel to deliver the battle-ending set of attacks, the puppet naturally has fangs. And the fangs are definitely cute and little, but not actually little relative to the cute little mouth.
88	* Some of the Centauri have these in ''Series/BabylonFive''. All of them, or at least all the males are supposed to have these, but due to budgetary and time constraints, as well as some actors with aversion towards them, they are only present some of the time.
89	* Andrew Zimmern, host of the Travel Channel's ''Series/BizarreFoods'' has odd front teeth that give him this appearance when he smiles.
90	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Adipose creatures in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E1PartnersInCrime "Partners in Crime"]] have one of these. They're supposed to look like the lone milk tooth of an infant.
91	* Erica from ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'' and she uses them to her full advantage.
92	* The Cat from ''Series/RedDwarf'' has large, somewhat comical-looking fangs. They're the only visible sign that he's not really human. Considering the fact he's a flighty, ridiculous cat-man, they probably qualify as cute.
93	* Wimzie's little brother Bo on ''Series/WimziesHouse''.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Podcasts]]
97	* ''Podcast/SibyllineSounds'': Calister the cobra usually isn't drawn with visible fangs, but when they are drawn it adds to his cuteness, especially when it is revealed that his venom is not non-toxic and is a FantasticDrug instead.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
101	* ''{{TabletopGame/Exalted}}'': Fangs are one of the available Lunar Exalt [[http://wiki.white-wolf.com/exalted/index.php?title=Tell "Tells"]], as demonstrated in [[http://sayda.deviantart.com/art/DotFA-Wolf-With-Red-Roses-114909050 this picture]].
102	* ''TabletopGame/TheUnofficialHollowKnightRPG'': Players can choose for the Venomous Bite trait to also give their bug a small bonus to their Cute score, granting them a bonus in situations where they need to appear friendly, cute, and endearing. WordOfGod says that this is supposed to be because of this trope.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Video Games]]
106	* [[CuteMonsterGirl Neeshka]] in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'' possesses these as part of her CatGirl appearance.
107	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
108	** The [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Bokoblins]], depicted from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' onward, tend to have fangs or tusks that give them an UglyCute appearance.
109	** [[TheImp Midna]] from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' possesses a set of tiny fangs, one of which shows through her lips when her mouth is closed. [[https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/zeldawiki/images/7/78/800px-Midna3.jpg It's not always "cute", however.]]
110	** The [[FishPeople Zora]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' have sharp, [[SharkMan shark-like]] teeth that would otherwise veer toward ScaryTeeth if it weren't for their endearing personalities. This is especially true of Prince Sidon, whose teeth are sharper and more shark-like than the other Zora but fall under this trope thanks to his NiceGuy personality and friendly TwinkleSmile.
111	* Linhua from ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' has one on the left side of her mouth.
112	* Sora of the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series has these whenever he is in [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Halloween Town]] or [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 the Pride Lands]]. It's justified in the latter's case, as he is turned into a lion there. In the former, Sora gains them as a result of wearing [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]]-like clothing. The clothes themselves look [[CuteMonsterGirl adorable]] in the first game, but [[BadassAdorable badass]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', though the fangs remain small and cute.
113	* Most demons in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games. Just to drive the point home, nearly all of their [[CombinationAttack Team Attack]] [[SuperMovePortraitAttack portraits]] show them off.
114	* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'': While the in-game model of Ratchet doesn't have noticeable fangs of any sort, he mysteriously gains them in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O2CV5BNn-0 European advertisements]]. In the [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal third game]], his [[GirlOfTheWeek girlfriend]] Sasha does have them in-game.
115	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
116	** [[MsFanservice Rouge the Bat]] has little fangs, 'cause she's, ya know, a bat.
117	** Sonic was meant to have one in his original Japanese designs but it was taken out pre-release when Sega of America got a hold of it. He still has cute fangs, but they don't protrude.
118	** [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Blaze the Cat]] has the same fangs too, but much smaller. They generally aren't visible unless she opens her mouth wide enough.
119	** Most of the main cast do have fangs of some sort, but they normally don't protrude and sometimes aren't meant to be cute ([[TheComicallySerious Knuckles]], [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Shadow]]). However, Tails, despite being a fox, has no sharp teeth at all.
120	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''
121	** Female orcs and trolls always have small but visible tusks, and have the option of being [[CuteMonsterGirl rather pretty]]. Although draenei also have decidedly sharp teeth -- and the females, at least, are attractive -- said teeth aren't visible when a character has their mouth closed.
122	** Night elves have fangs too, which is appropriate considering the fact that elves in the ''Warcraft'' universe are descended from trolls (the fangs being residual tusks). Like with the draenei, though, you can't see them when their mouths are closed, which is most of the time. (Blood elves appear to have lost their fangs.)
123	** Tauren, too, have sharp fangs that are only visible when they open their mouths. It may seem strange seeing as cows are herbivores, but the lore made it pretty clear that tauren aren't.
124	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''
125	** {{The Goomba}}s. Though they were "evil" at first, their more recent appearances come off as cute and their tiny fangs only further push the point.
126	** Played more straight with Goombaria and Goombella of the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' series, having only one small fang pointing out.
127	** Bowser Jr. sports a single, tiny fang in the upper corner of his mouth. He has two fangs in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', although, oddly, he goes back to having only one in every other game.
128	** Boos are an inversion: they sport a set of comically ''large'' fangs.
129	* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld''
130	** Marta consistently has one in the left side of her mouth for some inexplicable reason. Marta's fang is [[LampshadeHanging called out]] by [[spoiler:Ratatosk]] when Marta finishes a battle with her "Radiant Roar" Mystic Arte. Emil later calls it out after battles [[spoiler:when Ratatosk is sealed away (again) temporarily]], albeit more timidly.
131	-->'''Marta:''' Beautiful roses have thorns!\
132	[[spoiler: '''Ratatosk:''']] Beauty, Marta, has a fang...\
133	'''Marta:''' Be a little more enthusiastic!
134	** Evil sadist bitch Alice also sports a pair occasionally, but only when she's making a particularly evil face, so it may just be there for effect.
135	* The [[HalfHumanHybrid half]]-[[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon girl]] Lilica of ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''.
136	* The ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series:
137	** Remilia Scarlet is usually depicted with these. Fitting, as she's a vampire. The "cute" aspect is often played up in fanworks, with her maid/servant Sakuya often found daydreaming of that fang and what it can do.
138	** Remilia's younger sister and fellow vampire, Flandre, is occasionally shown with these as well (mostly in fan works). Of course, given Flandre's psychosis and propensity for destruction on a massive scale, sometimes the fangs are distinctly neither little nor cute.
139	** On a lesser note, Rumia, whose fang is used to express her childishness (and tendency to be one of the few characters that is actually mentioned to eat humans).
140	* Jack Frost from the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series (and by extension, all his other forms, such as [[EvilCounterpart Black Frost]] and [[VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy Raiho]].)
141	* [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Iris]] in ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryFrontier''. Yes, she is (they are?) a vampire, but it's the next thing to an InformedAttribute.
142	* The Sniper from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has slightly exaggerated canines, and a good deal of fanart also portrays him as having them. Not visible when his mouth is closed, however.
143	* Agneah, one of the [[spoiler:escaped summons]] in ''VideoGame/SummonNight: Twin Age'', has tiny fangs.
144	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''
145	** Several Pokémon, including Clefairy, Shinx, and Oshawott.
146	** A good deal of the first-evolution Pokémon, in fact. Some of them retain their fangs in their evolved forms, where they are less adorable, to say the least.
147	** At least according to the anime, Pikachu have fangs. This is unusual because they're based on rodents and seem herbivorous. Then again, on the rare occasion where they're seen eating something outside berries and other plant-based foods, [[BizarreTasteInFood they're chewing through power cables]], and while rodent teeth could pierce through those, [[RuleOfCute they aren't cute enough.]]
148	** According to the TCG and the manga, Korrina has pairs of fangs (two of each on her upper jaw and her lower jaw).
149	* Javik in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' has some, although due to being a PerpetualFrowner, they're rarely seen.
150	* Inklings, the squid-human things in ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'', have the conventional fangs where their canines would be, but they also have a single fang on the bottom layer of teeth right in the middle of the mouth. This is a bit of MorphicResonance; it's meant to emulate the beak that real-life squids have for their mouths. The playable Octolings from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' onwards also have fangs meant to invoke real-life octopus beaks, though they're arranged asymmetrically, with their bottom and top fangs on opposite sides of the mouth. Frye in ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' has especially large fangs that poke through her mouth when it's closed.
151	* Ms. Fortune, the resident CatGirl of ''VideoGame/{{SkullGirls}}'', has fangs on both her top and bottom jaws, with the upper ones sometimes visible when her mouth is closed.
152	* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', many monsters have these, in varying sizes. The ones you will most likely notice are the ones that are on Toriel, Muffet, Catty, [[spoiler:King Asgore and Asriel]].
153	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'':
154	** In her most recent character update, Poppy, The Keeper of the Hammer has also seen updated splash art for each of her skins that shows a prominent cute little fang peeking out of the left side of her mouth. This change is visible on five of the seven skin options. Her character model in the game often opens her mouth wide as she speaks and smiles, showing off the cute little fang very regularly.
155	** [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Gnar]] has two on his lower jaw when he's in his "Mini Gnar" form. His [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman Gentleman Gnar]] skin gives him one, but on his upper jaw. Mega Gnar, on the other hand, makes them look like snaggleteeth.
156	* The eponymous protagonist of ''VideoGame/KidDracula'' has little fangs sticking out of his mouth as a reminder that he's technically a vampire.
157	* [[SwordAndGun Mutsunokami]] [[{{Keet}} Yoshiyuki]] in ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' has these, especially in the [[Anime/ToukenRanbuHanamaru anime]] [[Anime/KatsugekiToukenRanbu adaptations]], which add to his [[AnimalMotifs dog-like nature]].
158	** The same can also be said for Kogitsunemaru, due to his fox motif.
159	* Prince Talmit, the hero of ''Marvel Land''. Well, in the [[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/genesis/586306-marvel-land/images Japanese cover]], at least.
160	* Several characters in ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' are usually drawn with one: Rei and Ritsu get them due to being the endearing kind of (sort of) vampires, Kouga and Tetora for their respective wolf and tiger AnimalMotifs, and Leo just for being an eccentric and playful kind of character in general. And of course, when Halloween cards come around anyone can try on a fang for a day.
161	* ''VideoGame/WitchsHeart'': Lime has these. Fitting since she loves looking cute and loves anything that is cute.
162	* ''VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}}'': Devilotte has these.
163	* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'': One of the three main subpilots, [[FieryRedhead Festenia "Tenia" Muse]], always displays a small fang whenever she opens her mouth, fitting for her HotBlooded and passionate personality.
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
167	* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'':
168	** BrattyHalfPint Satoko Hojo from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. However, her fang is hardly noticeable in the first season of the anime, and even in later seasons it's often not seen. It's seen in many of her sound novel poses, both the [[http://exfrieza.homestead.com/files/g-satoko02.jpg remakes]] and originals.
169	* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has tiny fangs all over the place. Battler, Jessica, Maria and Beatrice (among others) have them, though only Beatrice and Maria keep theirs in the anime and [=PS3=] port.
170	* Makoto from ''{{VisualNovel/Kanon}}'' has small but still noticeable fangs, fitting with her mischievous and fiery personality. [[spoiler:They also serve as an early clue to her origins as a transformed fox.]]
171	* Ayame of ''VisualNovel/{{NekoMiko}}'' has a little fang in the left side of her mouth.
172	* Daikuji Ayu from ''VisualNovel/RumblingHearts''.
173	* Kudryavka from ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' has one. She doesn't really fit the tricksterish or catgirl personality, though, so it's probably part of her vaguely vampiric, Eastern European theme.
174	* The dragon in ''VisualNovel/DraKoi'' has little fangs as a human, which turn into massive fangs when she fires breath attacks. Eventually, we see her fire breath attacks with much smaller fangs.
175	* Natsuki in ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' has little fangs which are more noticeable in the CG scenes with her. [[spoiler:Yuri also has those in Act 2, though they are slightly less cute because she has developed Yandere tendencies at this point.]]
176	* In ''VisualNovel/CodeRealize'', [[Literature/FromTheEarthToTheMoon Impey]] has little fangs that go completely unremarked upon within the story and seem to serve as a visual indication of his mischievous nature. BrattyHalfPint Delacroix II also has them. [[spoiler:Because they're both vampires.]]
177	* ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'': Michiru has this, probably to emphasize her goofy personality.
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	[[folder:Web Animation]]
181	* "WebAnimation/ATTACKOnMIKA": Ichi's best friend Hajime.
182	* ''WebAnimation/ADayWithBowserJr'': Bowser Jr, even though he's now a teenager.
183	* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjGpzhcnA64 Fuwa Fuwa Foof]]'':
184	** Played with in regards to Foof, who has a fang on the right side of her mouth. Although the fang is a particular detail to her adorable appearance in the present, she still had it in her former criminal outfit (which wasn't meant to appear cute at all), so it could be seen more as a FangsAreEvil mark reminding of her villainous past.
185	** Downplayed with Kiri Kiri. The cutesy-looking mouth drawn over her bandana has a fang, and below it she has an actual fang on her mouth's left side ([[https://youtu.be/TURCoo7nvLw?t=959 as seen]] in the creator-approved fan comic ''Fair Play'' when her bandana goes over her eyes). It doesn't counter [[BewareTheNiceOnes the potential threat she has]], but it emphasizes her status as the nicest, clumsiest character of the main trio.
186	[[/folder]]
187
188	[[folder:Webcomics]]
189	* Demons in ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'' have these.
190	* Fox Maharassa, [[ChivalrousPervert playful rake]] from ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'', ''Webcomic/FriendlyHostility'', and ''Webcomic/OtherPeoplesBusiness''. They only appear when he [[CheshireCatGrin grins]], but they're infinitely charming to say the least. As a pastry chef in the latter comic exclaims with a dreamy sigh, "It's like he hugs you with his smile~"
191	* Vector, the CuteMonsterBoy from ''Webcomic/{{Castoff}}'' has these as well.
192	* With [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals everyone]] in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'' being a FunnyAnimal, these are pretty common. Even BigBad [[MixAndMatchCritters Zenith]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/12/12/nothing-to-see-here/ has them]].
193	* ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'': Princess Gwendolyn of the Pastel Kingdom has very sharp teeth, unlike the rest of her siblings. Most of the time, we can see one little canine tooth poking out cutely, but even the times when she shows off all her carnivorous chompers tend to make her look endearing. With that said, her teeth are often depicted as sharper and more [[FaceOfAThug intimidating]] when she's viewed from the perspective of someone who doesn't know her well. This is especially true when she's seen by her reluctant fiancé Frederick, at least until he comes to know her better.
194	* Some of the characters in ''Webcomic/TheCyantianChronicles'', particularly Quinn, Sheana, and the fox princesses.
195	* Species X, a race of genetically engineered furry children from ''Webcomic/DNATheWebcomic'' has these. Orion has fangs that protrude more than the others, which causes him to have a [[FangThpeak lisp]].
196	* Luna from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'', despite being human, has fangs similar to an Orc's. They are quite adorable. [[ChekhovsGun And important later]].
197	* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Nina and her big sister, Layla, are vampires, so it naturally comes with the territory. Nina's are almost always visible and accentuate [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_no_mister her childlike appearance]], especially [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/change_of_plans when she's smiling.]] But the only time you'll see Layla's are either [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/for_my_next_trick when she's angry]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/stake_me_with_a_jackhammer or nervous.]]
198	* The Waverlys in ''Webcomic/EightCicadas'' all have fangs as a marker of their vague non-human heritage.
199	* ''Webcomic/ElfBlood'''s spirit incarna tend to have these if their spirits correspond to some sort of predatory animal. Notable examples include Carlita Delacroix (Cat) and Fliss and Shanna Whittle (Foxes).
200	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
201	** Grace, when in her half-squirrel form.
202	** [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-09-14 Catalina Bobcat]]. Along with her name and first name, it makes her a quasi-CatGirl. Revealed to be the result of [[spoiler:a magic mark given her by Pandora Chaos Raven]] without her knowledge.
203	* Male example: Doug from ''Webcomic/FletcherApts'' who also has PuppyDogEyes at times.
204	* Florence from ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', a genetically engineered Bowman's Wolf, has fangs, but they only show up when she smiles. The effect is usually unfortunate.
205	* The Jagers of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' appear to have these... until they [[SlasherSmile open their mouths]].
206	* ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'': Conrad, while not meant to be overwhelmingly "cute", sports a single tiny fang that's far from intimidating.
207	* Mica develops these in ''Webcomic/TheGreenhouse'' as a [[MarkOfTheSupernatural result]] of her DemonicPossession. They're not very prominent, but become important when [[spoiler:Mica [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forgets]] Red and her fangs are the only physical proof she has that she's not completely losing her mind]]. Her resident demon, 'Red', also has little fangs once she gets more solid, though they're even less visible than Mica's.
208	* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt[='s=]'' Reynardine has these in plushie form. In wolf form, he just has [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily too many.]]
209	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
210	** Most trolls have pointy teeth, but [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Nepeta]] is really the only one who manages to make them look utterly ''adorable''.
211	** [[TheWoobie Tavros]], at one point, is shown curled up against the wall, sleeping, with his fangs protruding from his smile. Since Tavros is incredibly timid and the teeth of trolls in his social caste are supposed to be blunt (after this is established, the other lowbloods are drawn with rounded teeth), the only explanation is that it was to make him cuter.
212	* In ''Webcomic/HowToBeAWerewolf'', no matter how human their current form is all werewolves have noticeably pronounced canine teeth. For all but the most menacing, the general effect is this.
213	* Molly in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' manages to be very cute even with fangs on the end of her snout.
214	* In ''Webcomic/JustAGoblin'', goblins have pronounced canines on the bottom of their mouths. They're especially prominent when younger goblins like Nog smile, adding to his cuteness factor. These same teeth are useful crafting ingredients, hence why adventurers pluck the teeth out of the goblins they kill.
215	* Secret from ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' has a pair - they're normally hidden, but when she's stressed or using her Abyssal powers, they emerge.
216	* ''Webcomic/TheLittleTrashmaid'': Tidy has prominent canine teeth compared to the rest of the cast.
217	* The green-skinned cleric Benn'Joon aka "Benny" in the webcomic ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup''. She often has one tusk-like Cute Little Fang peeking out from her lower jaw over her upper lip, especially when she's pouting.
218	* In ''Webcomic/MoonCrest24'' they look cool on Drake, but they're more adorable than menacing on Derek.
219	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
220	** Therkla, the half-orc ninja, has cute little ''tusks''.
221	** As does, in one flashback panel, Therkla's orc mother, in a subversion of the stereotypical half-orc origin story.
222	** [[spoiler:Evil Vaarsuvius]] also has Cute Little Fangs, though because of the circumstances surrounding their appearance, they're actually quite creepy.
223	* The title characters in ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'', though only Ozy's are only obvious when he's talking) as well as several others. Somewhat [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2000/10/22/ozy-and-millie-498/ here.]]
224	* In ''Webcomic/{{Pandect}}'', Ice, a Dog Ace (a dog who has a soul and can also appear in human form), has slightly longer canine teeth than most humans. Of course.
225	* The art style of ''Webcomic/QueenOfWands'' has fangs as standard. On Angela, they are pretty cute, though.
226	* Loki and Trollabundine have these in ''Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}}''.
227	* Mihui Yang from ''Webcomic/SurvivingRomance'' is often drawn with one, particularly when she's depicted in a SuperDeformed artstyle.
228	* Rufus and Melika in ''Webcomic/{{Terinu}}'' have fangs as well, being anthropomorphic fox aliens. Said fangs are usually just cute, at least until they get ''pissed off''.
229	* Happens occasionally in ''Webcomic/VGCats'', being as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the main characters are, obviously, cats]].
230	* With Levana being a ''Webcomic/VampireGirl'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin that's pretty much a given]].
231	* ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'':
232	** Tina, who claims her fangs are the result of botched dental surgery. This may or may not be true; Tina has an... unusual history.
233	** The [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/11152004/ Drunken College Golems]] have them too.
234	** Not to mention the rather [[OurVampiresAreDifferent unconventional]] [[http://wapsisquare.com/projects/pablowapsi-illustrations/attachment/vampire-gals-color/ Vampire Gals]]. (Note that this image, which shows the fangs to good advantage, is borderline NSFW, although their other [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/another-time-then/ appearances]] are less so.)
235	** Actually, most of the paranormal characters in ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' {which is most of the cast by now} have fangs; even characters who began as human, [[spoiler:like Monica]].
236	* The mischievous Rowan from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' has a pair of particularly sharp canines that can often be seen even when his mouth is closed.
237	* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', they are practically the default for demons, beasts, and spirits. Notably, the human Grace and HalfHumanHybrid Yokoka and Mao lack fangs, though [[https://twitter.com/ClefdeSoll/status/1316557675648315392 Yokoka's reference sheets]] do say "cute little fangs in FanArt [[ApprovalOfGod is great]]!".

240	[[folder:Web Original]]
241	* At the SuperHeroSchool [[Literature/WhateleyUniverse Whateley Academy]] there are several: Paige (a were-catgirl), Carmilla (mostly demon), Tennyo (looks exactly like Ryoko Balta; see under Anime). Tennyo's been told several times that her fangs are 'cute'.
242	* Rea from ''Literature/{{These days}}'' sports them.
243	* JustForFun/TropeTan has one.
244	[[/folder]]
245
246	[[folder:Western Animation]]
247	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''
248	** The fruit bats seen have fangs.
249	** Spike, though they aren't always visible.
250	** Discord's single fang is arguably cute too.
251	** Fluttershy gets them when Twilight's spell turns her into a cross between a pony and a vampire fruit bat. Even after the spell is reversed, the fangs emerge when she smiles at the end of the episode.
252	* Green Puppy from ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' has fangs.
253	* Beast Boy of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' has one among his lower teeth, protruding from his mouth at all times to add to his unconventional cuteness and underline his animal status. Curiously, he tends to carry it over in all of his forms -- even when they don't even have teeth. His [[ComicBook/TeenTitans comic book version]] initially lacked this, but eventually he was redesigned (though at least they had the decency to do so in-story) with the fang intact [[RetCanon due to the show]].
254	* Mouse from ''{{WesternAnimation/ReBoot}}''. The fact that she has fangs is mentioned by other characters but never explained. In the end, they do indeed appear to be there solely to make her seem more dangerous.
255	* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' gives the very dangerous Mystique fangs, as well as her less dangerous son Nightcrawler. In Nightcrawler's case, this is true to the comics. In Mystique's... well, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting she can have whatever appearance she pleases]].
256	* Both Chowder and Panini in ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' have them. {{Word of God}} is they're of the same species (Rabbit-bear-cat thing...).
257	* Yumi in ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'', occassionally.
258	* Arguably most of the {{WesternAnimation/Gargoyles}}, especially Lexington and Angela. And of course Elisa when she was briefly a gargoyle. Elisa's especially were ''very'' cute.
259	* Rintoo and Lulu from ''WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan''.
260	* Loopy in one episode got these in ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam''
261	* Several characters in ''{{WesternAnimation/Wakfu}}''. Its heavily {{Animesque}} art style gives everyone exaggerated canines, even on non-cutesy characters such as older men.
262	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Humf}}''. All the male furry things, including the title character.
263	* Anakonda from ''WesternAnimation/Xyber9NewDawn'' has these, unless she's pissed off and hissing at someone, then they're far more creepy than cute.
264	* Marceline from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', both before and after becoming a vampire.
265	* The entire Dingo family from ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'', but Shifty is by far the cutest.
266	* Scaredy Bat on ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom''.
267	* Samy on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.
268	* Cassie, the pink dragon from ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'' sports these. As a matter of fact, many of the dragons, if not all, possess them.
269	* Most of the [[{{Catfolk}} Cats]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/Thundercats 2011}}'', especially [[CuteKitten Wilykit and Wilykat]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Sabertooth Grune, who just has one really big one because he tore out the other to use as an ImprovisedWeapon.
270	* Sylvester the Cat gets these in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''.
271	* WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat, one of the oldest examples.
272	* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'': Imp sports a pair of these, in sharp contrast to the [[FangsAreEvil evil ones]] seen on Hordak and the rest of the Horde.
273	* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': These are also seen on Cringer in keeping with his whole cat aesthetic, though they become noticeably fiercer versions of themselves when he becomes the Mighty Battle Cat.
274	* Oskar of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.
275	* Claudette Dupri of ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction New Looney Tunes]]''.
276	* Mr. Cat from ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' has these. [[FangsAreEvil They go pretty well with his personality]].
277	* The pups and kittens from ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol''.
278	* The title character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}''.
279	* On ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'', Elinor's friend Ari is a bat-person and therefore sports these.
280	* For the ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' reboot, the Warner siblings are redesigned to have these. It's pretty noticeable whenever they get angry, and especially prominent in the episodes animated by Creator/{{Saerom}} and Creator/DigitalEMation. Pinky and the Brain have these too, but only in the eMation and Tiger segments.
281	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Gumball and Nicole both have fangs. It's only ever really shown when they open their mouths, though.
282	* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': [[MellowFellow Sammy]] an adorable young snake that has a fang sticking out.
283	* Dr. T'Ana from ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'', as a Caitian, has a full set of canines, with one of the bottom ones always sticking out when her mouth is closed.
