| 12 | Monsters with a huge number of teeth. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | This is a simple and common trope, playing on a natural fear of toothy predators. There are three common kinds of teeth you will see on a big scary thing: flat, triangular shark teeth; conical teeth similar to those of crocodiles; or ridiculously pointy needle teeth like a deep-sea fish. The monster's mouth will often be so crammed with teeth that half of them should break off with every bite. The teeth are usually all of the same type. Despite being a common animal trait in real life, human characters often make use of this trope, and when doing so is often used to mark a character with, well, ''monster''-like behavior, especially if it involves or is implied to involve murder in a very predatory sense. Commonly used in {{Nightmare Face}}s and NestedMouths. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Subtrope of ScaryTeeth. Also see {{Phlegmings}} -- the lines of drool often seen between the teeth. When the teeth are arranged in a ring rather than opposing jawlines, that's a LampreyMouth. ''Beware'' VaginaDentata. Often overlaps with FangsAreEvil or TombstoneTeeth depending on the shape. Stop by CheshireCatGrin for a less toothy but still creepy variation. Often found in conjunction with ThreateningShark and NeverSmileAtACrocodile, and occasionally followed by PalatePropping. |

| 19 | !!Examples: |
| 20 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 23 | * Baikinman (and by default, his brothers Aokinman and Akakinman) from ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''. [[http://www.rubberslug.com/img_show.aspx?ImageID=279666&X=530&Section=Item Teeth should not begin to look like that.]] His teeth are so prominent that they actually ''disort'' into shapes to form vowels when he speaks! Baikinman's an alien, so there's at least a bit of justification. Females of his species don't have this style of teeth, and two other males of the species (Baikinsennin and Mushibaikinman) have different-looking teeth (Baikinsennin's are normal teeth, and Mushibaikinman's are similar to Baikinman's, but he only has five forming his mouth). |
| 24 | * The titular monsters of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' are all human-like save for some odd deformities (disproportionate limbs, lack of skin), but more importantly [[http://i40.tinypic.com/24msriw.jpg mouths full of square incisors]]. |
| 25 | * Kamineko in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' looks sweet, until the point he rocks the top of his head back to reveal he has [[http://www.svenax.net/files/images/Azumanga_Daioh_01_076_0001_0.jpg dentition that makes bear traps look sick...]] |
| 26 | * In ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'', one of Christopher Shoulder's most distinguishing features is that his mouth is filled with what appear to be shark teeth. Combined with his [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel archaic mode of dress]], most people assume that he's some sort of vampire. |
| 27 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' is absolutely full of these. It's no wonder that ''Berserk'''s creator, Creator/KentaroMiura, took so long to release chapters when he had to draw each and every single tooth on pages full of literally ''dozens'' of creatures. The biggest example is Borkoff, the demon that [[spoiler:forced Guts to chisel off his left hand]]. |
| 28 | * Grell Sutcliff the {{Shinigami}} from ''Manga/BlackButler'' doesn't seem to have a greater than human amount of teeth, but his/her teeth ''are'' all fangs, which isn't the case for the other shinigami or even the demons seen in the series. |
| 29 | * Tier Harribel from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. |
| 30 | ** [[spoiler:Averted, since those teeth were just a part of Harribel's hollow mask. When she uses her [[SuperMode Resurrección]], the mask vanishes and her now visible mouth and teeth are clearly normal.]] |
| 31 | ** Well, there's [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090314074548/bleach/en/images/b/bc/Di_Roy%27s_Hierro..jpg Di Roy Rinker]], and his square-sawed top row of teeth... |
| 32 | * Masakaki from ''Anime/CControl'' gets shark teeth whenever he is excited about something evil happening. Appropriate too, since he's a ''loan shark''. |
| 33 | * The titular warriors from ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' gain these when they're dangerously close to liberating their powers enough to become demons. |
| 34 | * Ryuk from ''Manga/DeathNote'' has these, along with a permanent SlasherSmile. |
| 35 | * Krory the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent quasi-vampire]] Exorcist of ''Manga/DGrayMan'' may look like he has CuteLittleFangs when his mouth is closed (and that only in the manga), but when he moves his lips, the result is a distinctly inhuman array of shark/crocodile-like fangs. |
| 36 | * [[http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Tokomon Tokomon]] of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', in an unexpected way given it's coming from an otherwise RidiculouslyCuteCritter. Tokomon's teeth are a direct nod to the Digimon virtual pets that the show was based on. All the child Digimon from the virtual pet keychains were adorable little monsters that revealed incongruous amounts of pixelated teeth when they ate or got mad at their owners. The Toys/{{Tamagotchi}} virtual pets that preceded Digimon did the same thing with their young forms. |
| 37 | * Hiruma in ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' and his mouth full of fangs. It's part of his SpikesOfVillainy look. |
| 38 | * Some of the homunculi in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. Gluttony, when in attack mode, [[http://images.wikia.com/fma/images/3/3c/Brotherhood24.jpg reveals a hippopotamus-like mouth with extra rows of teeth inside]], Greed and Sloth have sharklike teeth, and Pride's true form consists entirely of eyes, teeth, and LivingShadow. |
| 39 | * Neko Musume of ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro'' may have inspired Kamineko above, because let's be honest, ''cat teeth are not like that''. Yikes. |
| 40 | * The Tsuyoshi family in ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' - those short friendly people with shark teeth. |
| 41 | * Lots and lots of flesh rending teeth appear to be the most defining characteristic for the mysterious invading {{Eldritch Abomination}}s in "Hakaijuu". Special mention goes to the one that not only has numerous mandibles but hundreds of three-fingered hands with smaller mouths in each finger tip that it uses to strip the flesh from unlucky high school students. |
| 42 | * ''Manga/HanakoAndTheTerrorOfAllegory'' gives us the Slit-Mouth Woman. Although she has a fairly normal tooth-to-mouth ratio, she's got [[NightmareFace quite a bit of mouth]]. |
| 43 | * Vampires in ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' (especially the OVA and Manga) generally have teeth like sharks...it is only when Alucard fully activates the Cromwell Initiative and [[spoiler:essentially becomes an ''EldritchAbomination'']] that this trope really starts getting fulfilled. A lot. |
| 44 | ** And the HUMANS too. Please see any chapter where [[BadassPreacher Father Anderson]] is [[LargeHam doing what he does best]]. Or when the Major...talks. |
| 45 | * In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', the tennis club captain, Omiko Hakodate, has, shall we say, spiked dental ridges for some reason, likely as a ShoutOut to the aforementioned Viral. |
| 46 | * The second form of the [[EnemyWithout berserked defense program]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', which had two massive heads filled with massive, pointy teeth. |
| 47 | * In ''Manga/MahouShoujoPrettyBell'', the demon Meyer looks like a normal human until he opens his mouth to reveal several rows of shark teeth. |
| 48 | * ''Manga/MusukoGaKawaikuteShikataganaiMazokuNoHahaoya'': A mouth full of numerous incredibly sharp fangs is a common feature on most demons. While there are occasions where these are portrayed as ScaryTeeth, particularly when characters are acting threatening, most of the time they act as CuteLittleFangs, even on characters that aren't exactly "cute" themselves. |
| 49 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 50 | ** Kurama's mouth was set in a permanent snarl revealing a massive number of teeth larger than the titular character. [[spoiler:However, such a trait has faded with Kurama's CharacterDevelopment, and his teeth now resemble what they should-a giant fox's.]] At times, the only thing that can be seen of the demon are two red eyes and gleaming teeth. |
| 51 | ** It appears to be common for Hidden Mist shinobi to file their teeth to resemble a shark's, though this may be restricted to Seven Swordsmen and their aspirants. Then again, given the [[LittleBitBeastly other sharklike traits]] of some of those characters, it's possible that their teeth are naturally that way. |
| 52 | ** [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination The Ten-Tails]]'s first form is presented with a huge mouth with dozens of spiky, sharp teeth for a murderous GlasgowGrin.]] |
| 53 | * ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'': Ash from the W.I.S.E. squad Scourge. |
| 54 | * Ratman of...well, ''Manga/{{Ratman}}'' does this when he gets angry or excited. Normally, he can function fine with his mouth closed, and it looks just like a helmet. But when he opens it for whatever reason, it's enough to give one of his friends recurring nightmares. |
| 55 | * Soul of ''Manga/SoulEater'' has them. It's never explained why besides just RuleOfCool. |
| 56 | * Holo in ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'' gets these in mid-transformation from human form to a giant wolf. It's pretty disturbing to see them on such a cute face. |
| 57 | * Viral from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', who is part shark and part feline. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Noro has a CoolMask with an enormous toothy smile, and CombatTentacles with mouths that are either this or a LampreyMouth. Either way, that's a lot of teeth that want to eat everything in sight. |
| 59 | * ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'': |
| 60 | ** Tommyrod has several rows of retractable teeth, which he uses, when he runs out of bugs. |
| 61 | ** Nitros have teeth covering both of their jaws. Yes, not lining - covering. |
| 62 | ** [[spoiler: Acacia, after eating Neo]] has not only sharp, teeth-like spikes coming out of his jaw, but also several rows of sharp teeth leading down his throat. |
| 63 | * Clara Valac in ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'' has a mouth filled with sharp teeth. This isn't unusual for demons, but it's more visible on her because she's constantly smiling. |
| 64 | * The Misago from ''Manga/YokohamaKaidashiKikou'' has lots of sharp carnivorous teeth. She's good and kind-hearted and only uses them to eat fish, but most people freak out after seeing her scary dentition. |
| 65 | * Creator/JunjiIto's 2017 horror manga ''Layers of Fear'' has both the daughters of a widow with rows upon rows of teeth [[spoiler: because their bodies grow in layers with the fetus being the core as a part of a curse.]] |
| 66 | [[/folder]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | [[folder:Asian Animation]] |
| 69 | * In ''Animation/{{Larva}}'', one of the larvae, Violet, has a horrifying appearance with a mouth full of sharp fangs, helping to establish him as a villain. |
| 70 | [[/folder]] |
| 71 | |
| 72 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 73 | * Parallax from the ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' continuity has a few sets of these, forming the shape of [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps the Sinestro Corps]] symbol with his throat as the hole. It's freakier looking than it sounds. Also a few Sinestro Corpsmen themselves, including [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0a/88/be/0a88be89d4c7aedaeccec48b9faeaf66.png Tri-Eye]], who has three wide-ass mouths and teeth on the edges of all three faces, and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/e/e7/Maash.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20090727002800 Maash]], who has three entire heads piled on top of each other. |
| 74 | * The Corinthian in ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989''. Though his eye-teeth are usually just straight, smaller copies of the teeth in his mouth, spinoffs and fanart tend to make them pointed. Also Azazel -- a lord of hell who appears as a black void filled with eyes and disembodied teeth. |
| 75 | * ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': |
| 76 | ** In ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', the giant insect-like creatures spawned by the [[PlanetEater godship]] have [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/UjkuWAFFRcIw08kSrnsPoeK4M7byq9EtAU3BrOaFCn0WAM16ti9Te1PZe5cQada2JUqTjmDXeP6R=s1600 huge fang-filled mouths]]. |
| 77 | ** In ''ComicBook/SupermanSupergirlMaelstrom'', Supergirl fights a giant alien squid whose mouth, instead of a beak, has at least sixteen sets of sharp teeth. |
| 78 | * ''ComicBook/TheMaxx'': Isz, especially black Isz. |
| 79 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Some images of [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]] show his (non-pointy) teeth as being so long, it looks as if the chemical he'd gotten dumped in must've given him ever-growing dentition like a rodent's, as well as weird coloration. This is noticeable in Tim Sale's art ''(ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'' and ''ComicBook/DarkVictory'' in particular), though certain panels exaggerate this more than others. [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080821063151/marvel_dc/images/archive/3/33/20110522021051!Joker_0023.jpg Here's a noticeable example.]] |
| 80 | * The alien [[Characters/MarvelComicsSymbiotes symbiotes]] from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''. Spidey himself didn't get this effect when he was wearing the black suit, but ComicBook/{{Venom}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarnage Carnage]] and basically anyone else "wearing" a symbiote is going to develop these. Interesting note: Venom didn't start out with this either. Creator/ToddMcfarlane originally drew him with a mouth that was toothy, but mostly human-looking (at least as much as the Joker's). Then Erik Larsen, who hated the character, was assigned to draw him and started giving him a drooling monster mouth and an OverlyLongTongue, supposedly to avoid getting bored. Most "good" symbiotes don't have the mouth. If they develop one, [[OhCrap run]]. |
| 81 | * In ''The Orc's Treasure,'' by Kevin J. Anderson, all Orcs are distinguished by the impossible overabundance of pointy teeth. Many of them have teeth protruding through parts of their lips or cheeks. |
| 82 | * Creator/PhilFoglio is fond of this trope in his artwork. |
| 83 | ** In the ''ComicBook/MythAdventures'' comics he depicts Aahz this way. Even in the novels, Aahz is described more than once as ''dropping'' his smile when he wants to put people at ease. |
| 84 | ** ''ComicBook/XXXenophile'' is good for teeth. And {{Cute Monster Girl}}s. |
| 85 | ** The grins the Jägermonsters (and occasionally some of the Sparks) have in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. |
| 86 | * Elves from ''ComicBook/{{Amulet}}''. When their mouth is closed it's no big deal, but when they open it to eat something, ''brrrrr!'' |
| 87 | * Any time Creator/RobLiefeld draws someone grimacing, [[http://www.progressiveboink.com/2012/4/21/2960757/robliefeld3 as seen here:]] "How many teeth are in a mouth? Like a billion, right? I’ll just draw a billion, all the same size and shape." In the same article, example 27, Liefeld makes the opposite, but equally weird mistake: He somehow draws the [[Characters/MarvelComicsRedSkull Red Skull]], a villain whose entire motif is that his head ''is a human skull'', with only 17 teeth in the entire mouth, all of them incisors. |
| 88 | * Max of Franchise/SamAndMax stands out from other fictional rabbits by way of his pointy teeth. |
| 89 | * An unusual example: Creator/FrankMiller in his more recent projects such as ''ComicBook/SinCity'' and ''ComicBook/HolyTerror'' has characters being punched in the jaw, resulting in losing copious numbers of teeth. Which evidently grow back almost instantly; if someone gets punched more than once, he'll lose more teeth than he had in his mouth originally. |
| 90 | * [[Comicbook/InvasionDCComics The Dominators]], a humanoid alien race from Creator/DCComics, are distinguished by an abundance of long, sharp teeth. Specific character examples are rare since their culture doesn't use names, but the defector Sakritt who allied herself with Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} in [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 WW Vol 2]] was rather gleeful about using her impressive teeth to intimidate foes. |
| 91 | * The Titan Magazines [[Franchise/TheTransformers Transformers]] comics based on ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' give us [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dead_End_%28ROTF%29 Dead End]], a bizarre [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot vampire-cannibal-zombie-robot]] thing whose most notable feature is that his face seems to consist of little more than a visor and a large collection of very un-robot-like teeth. |
| 92 | * Violator from ''Comicbook/{{Spawn}}'' has a mouth full of fangs which is almost always wide open and drooling. |
| 93 | * ''ComicBook/SimonDark'': While Suzie used to be human these days she's an eyeless tentacle-covered blob with a gaping mouth that has several rows of needle-sharp teeth. |

| 101 | * {{Implied|Trope}} in ''Literature/{{Pintosmalto}}''. Pintosmalto isn't a monster, but he is not human, either. A regular adult has thirty-two teeth, so Pintosmalto has eight too many, going by the forty pearls Betta ordered. |

| 108 | [[folder:Film -- Animated]] |
| 109 | * The anglerfish in ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. Also the sharks, although they're trying to [[CarnivoreConfusion go vegetarian]]. |
| 110 | * The Cheshire Cat from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' was originally going to have these, but they were later changed. |
| 111 | * The robotic shark from |
| 112 | * ''WesternAnimation/DawnOfTheDinosaurs'' has blue pterosaur with pointed teeth. |
| 113 | ''Film/JamesAndTheGiantPeach''. |
| 114 | * [=McNasty=] from ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' is a human with sharklike teeth because... he's evil? |
| 115 | * The Mighty One-Eye in ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has so many teeth that you ''CAN'T SEE THE BACK OF HIS THROAT'', even when he opens his mouth to its widest extent. |
| 116 | * The Snapping Turtle Turks from ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' have big toothy mouths protruding from their already-bloated torsos which they use to bite off whatever they can. |
| 117 | [[/folder]] |
| 118 | |
| 119 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 120 | * ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'': |
| 121 | ** The Xenomorphs have enough teeth to outfit a ''[[NestedMouths second, smaller mouth]]''. Their appearance is all the more nightmarish for having a variety of different teeth, looking almost like a fanged human. The Xenomorph jaws were inspired by a real-life creature, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYpn2u2Wag4 Goblin Shark]]. |
| 122 | ** In ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'', [[spoiler:the Deacon that bursts out of the Engineer's chest at the end]] has a jaw very much like a Goblin Shark's. |
| 123 | * ''Film/BladeII'': The Reapers have a normal number of human/vampire teeth, but the probosces inside their {{Flower Mouth}}s are also visibly lined with extra fangs. |
| 124 | * ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'': |
| 125 | ** [[Characters/GodzillaTheGodzillas Godzilla himself]] sometimes, depending on the incarnation. Heisei Godzilla sports twin rows of fangs in most of his designs. Film/ShinGodzilla has even more teeth, a few of which look as if they're growing out of his ''skin''. |
| 126 | ** ''Film/GodzillaVsBiollante'': In her second form, Biollante has so much teeth that even the roof of her mouth and her ''tongue'' are covered with them. |
| 127 | * ''Film/IndependenceDayResurgence'': Unlike her minions, who lack visible mouths, beneath her armour the Queen has jaws and a ''nest'' of fangs along her gums. |
| 128 | * ''Franchise/JurassicPark'': |
| 129 | ** ''Film/JurassicWorld'': |
| 130 | *** The ''Indominus rex'' has a set of teeth in a similar manner to the ''V. rex'' from ''Film/KingKong2005''. The film's web even accomplishes this in its sneak peek: ''"[[BiggerIsBetter Bigger]]. Louder. More teeth."'' |
| 131 | *** The Mosasaurus has teeth on her palate! |
| 132 | ** ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'': Like his predecessor the Indominus, the Indoraptor has a large mouth full of irregular crocodilian fangs. |
| 133 | * ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'': The [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmIndependentVillains Watcher in the Water]] has two jaws with some creepy teeth. |
| 134 | %%* The Sarlaac in ''Franchise/StarWars''. ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' adds the rathtars.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample |
| 135 | * The Kraken in ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' showcases numerous rows of teeth right as it roars at Captain Jack Sparrow. |
| 136 | * The titular creatures in ''Film/TheDeadlySpawn'' have so many teeth that rows of them are still outside the mouth when it is closed. |
| 137 | * The vampires in ''Film/FrightNight1985'' tend to have this, especially during the [[GameFace third part of their metamorphosis]]. |
| 138 | %%* ''Vamp'' takes it [[ExaggeratedTrope to another level]].%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample |
| 139 | * In ''Film/{{Coneheads}}'', Beldar demonstrates how many teeth coneheads have when he goes to the dentist to get them capped... ''all four rows of them''. And he can open his mouth ''reeeeeeally'' wide. |
| 140 | * The titular creatures in ''Film/{{Critters}}'' are [[http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/203/c/8/critters_by_warnerator-d586boe.jpg giant furballs with teeth]]. |
| 141 | * Fizzgig from ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' is a little furball who looks innocent until he opens his mouth, and then he becomes mostly teeth. |
| 142 | * Shark teeth aplenty in the monsters from ''Film/{{Feast}}'', [[spoiler:particularly at the end of the first movie, when you can actually see how many of them Heroine #2 smashes out with a rifle butt]]. |
| 143 | * ''Film/KingKong2005'': One of the ''V. rexes'' (the bull that is the second one that Ann encounters and the ClimaxBoss of the fight) has a distorted upper jaw with room for still more gigantic teeth, probably due to some old facial injury. They vary from multiple teeth in the upper jaw in a gap in the lower jaw, to a smaller tooth growing from the same socket as another one. The ''Piranhadon'' from the deleted scenes also qualifies. |
| 144 | * ''Film/TheThing1982'': Since it's a consummate shapeshifter, the titular Thing only piles on the teeth when it needs to attack someone. |
| 145 | * ''Film/TheMeg'' is about megalodon shark, a species whose name means "Big Teeth" [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the name]] is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Megalodon_tooth_with_great_white_sharks_teeth-3-2.jpg accurate]]. |
| 146 | * The title vampire character ''Film/CountYorga'', though oddly when he bites his victims he only leaves the usual tiny pinprick bites. |
| 147 | * ''Franchise/MenInBlack'': |
| 148 | ** "Jeff", the 600-foot alien worm from ''Film/MenInBlackII'' who lives in New York's subway stations, makes his first appearance by munching on one of the subway trains. |
| 149 | ** Boris the Animal in ''Film/MenInBlack3'' is literally ''all'' teeth when his body unravels. |
| 150 | * The [[http://materialisticboy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/alice-in-wonderland-trailer.jpg Cheshire Cat]] and [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/aliceinwonderland/images/9/98/Alice2010-beastcat.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090725041006 Bandersnatch]] from Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010''. |
| 151 | * The Sugarplum Fairy in ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'', combined with NestedMouths. |
| 152 | * The teeth of the aliens in ''Film/AttackTheBlock'' are numerous and [[BioluminescenceIsCool luminous]]. |
| 153 | * The Lubb-Lubbs in ''Film/MomAndDadSaveTheWorld'' are cute, mushroom-like creatures who turn out to have a huge mouth filled with ''nasty pointy teeth''... and another mouth, also filled with ''nasty pointy teeth''. |
| 154 | * In ''Film/It2017'', Pennywise's teeth go berserk when he's in GameFace, particularly in the projector scene, where he sprouts ''multiple rows'' of teeth so massive they don't even fit in his mouth. Sweet dreams, folks. |
| 155 | * ''Film/DeadBirds'': Anyone who ends up possessed gets these, along with an EyelessFace. |
| 156 | * ''Film/FeedingFrenzy'': The primary monsters are "globkins", cantaloupe-sized balls of flesh with big, toothy maws. |
| 157 | * The bioraptors in ''Film/PitchBlack'' have mouths that are ''filled'' with long, needle-thin teeth. |
| 158 | [[/folder]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 161 | * ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'': The Cheshire Cat is quite nice, save for the part where there are far more teeth in his mouth than should actually fit. [[CheshireCatGrin Which he is very fond of showing off.]] |
| 162 | * The Taxxons from ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' have, among other nasty features, a LampreyMouth. |
| 163 | * One of the most defining characteristics of the dwarven race in Literature/ArtemisFowl is a mouth full of large, powerful teeth. |
| 164 | * When Magicians (read: Demon Summoners) in David Eddings' ''Literature/TheBelgariad'' and ''Literature/{{Malloreon}}'' summon their demons, they try to outdo each other by making their demons look as menacing as possible. One common area of embellishment is in the face, where they try to cram as many teeth into the mouth as possible inside. If they aren't satisfied with the number of teeth they can get that way, they may also go the "multiple mouths" route, to allow them more space for more teeth. A few even go for multiple faces, for more room for more tooth-filled mouths. It should also be noted that these imaginary forms are also the way they keep demons under control. A demon in his (uncontrollable) true form is terrifying in itself, but for other reasons. |
| 165 | * ''Literature/BruceCovillesBookOf Nightmares'': [[spoiler: The true form of ''The Fat Man'', which has "lots and lots of teeth".]] |
| 166 | * Said word-for-word in the first ''Literature/CalLeandros'' book, though Cal is describing Robin, who, though nonhuman, has the normal amount of teeth. |
| 167 | * In ''Literature/GoingPostal'', one of the things the post office sign instructs you not to ask about are "Huje Green Things With Teeth", possibly a NoodleIncident as none ever actually show up here. Later, Anghammarad, a twenty-thousand-year-old {{Golem}}, remembers that in his day, it was "Do Not Ask Us About Saber-Tooth Tigers, Tar Pits, Huge Green Things With Teeth, Or The Goddess Czol". When asked "you had huge green things with teeth back then?", he answers "Bigger. Greener. More Teeth." |
| 168 | * The Witches in ''Literature/TheDoomspellTrilogy'' have four jaws, each full of nasty, sharp, pointy teeth. (For an artist's impression, see the example in the New Media category.) They're also full of symbiotic spiders. |
| 169 | * The {{Sand Worm}}s from ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' are living tubes ranging from puppy-dog small to town-swallowingly humongous, with very sharp crystalline teeth that can literally be made into knives and which pretty much line the entire visible inner side of their tubing when they open wide to let you look. Most don't want to look. |
| 170 | * In ''Literature/TheGirlFromTheMiraclesDistrict'', when Nikita goes [[TheBerserker berserk]], the number of teeth in her mouth multiplies. |
| 171 | * ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'': |
| 172 | ** Agrajag in ''Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything'' has a patchwork body and a vast array of teeth. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d, in that Agrajag's excessive and deliberately unpleasant teeth don't all quite fit nicely into his mouth, resulting in them lacerating his lips and mouth. There are some sticky black plasters covering the nastier wounds. |
| 173 | ** The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is often depicted this way. |
| 174 | * Creator/NKJemisin's ''Literature/InheritanceTrilogy'': Lil, {{Physical God}}dess of hunger, has a jaw that hangs down to her knees and is full of multiple rows of fangs, which rotate like chainsaw teeth. Fortunately, she's a HorrifyingHero and can {{Humanshift|ing}} into something less conspicuous if need be. |
| 175 | * The titular ClockRoaches in Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheLangoliers''. The TV version depicted them ([[SpecialEffectFailure poorly]]) with three rows of alternately rotating teeth, like a cross between an excavation drill and VideoGame/PacMan. |
| 176 | * Kelpies in ''Literature/MarketOfMonsters'' are depicted as having countless layered rows of countless razor-sharp teeth. |
| 177 | * Phil Foglio's covers for the Donning-Starblaze illustrated editions of the ''Literature/MythAdventures'' books depict Aahz this way. Even in the novels, Aahz is described more than once as ''dropping'' his smile when he wants to put people at ease. |
| 178 | * ''Literature/RiftersTrilogy'' contains deep-sea fish like this, but their teeth are so brittle that when one tries to bite a person's arm off, the teeth shatter. |
| 179 | * ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'': This is the reason Molly, the Folly's rather creepy maid and cook, doesn't talk and covers her mouth when she laughs. [[spoiler:Other members of what appears to be her species are the same way.]] |
| 180 | * Creator/WilliamSleator's novel ''Literature/{{Singularity}}'' had a creature coming through a PortalPool from another universe. It was visible from this universe long before it arrived, and the only part of it that was visible was its huge mouthful of teeth. The main character, in fact, spent a whole year waiting for the creature to arrive, knowing only its toothy appearance. |
| 181 | * ''S. Petersen's Field Guide to Cthulhu Monsters'' is packed with teeth. Big, nasty teeth! Let's see who's the champ in the dental department, shall we? |
| 182 | ** The byakhee has back-pointing narrow fangs like a snake's, and plenty of 'em. |
| 183 | ** The Deep One's teeth are crocodile-like, extra-sharp, and appear to come in multiple rows. |
| 184 | ** The dhole's teeth are rooted in several extensible jaw-like structures and are about as big as the human silhouette on the size-comparison diagram. The ''teeth'', not the jaw-like structures. |
| 185 | ** The flying polyp has two mouths of crocodile-type teeth. At least, two mouths visible in the picture. The one you encounter may have more. |
| 186 | ** The formless spawn has several rows of oversized teeth, which best resemble human incisors. Which is kinda creepy in itself. |
| 187 | ** Literature/TheHoundsOfTindalos has a lot of crocodile-like teeth, but should probably be disqualified because it's the tongue you really have to worry about. |
| 188 | ** The Servitor of the Outer Gods' mouth would look good on a deep-sea angler. |
| 189 | ** ''Bzzzt!'' Sorry, Mr. Shoggoth, you should've submitted a pic where you had lots of ''teeth'', not lots of eyes. Better send that one in to a different contest. |
| 190 | ** Shub-Niggurath has a half-dozen mouths of crocodile teeth showing, presumably with more on the back. If she has a back. Maybe this ''is'' her back in the pic. Who can tell? |
| 191 | ** Ghouls, ghasts, hunting horrors, shantaks, and Ithaqua get consolation prizes. Not bad teeth, guys, but not nearly enough to hold your own against such tough competitors. |
| 192 | ** Lots of other oogey-boogeys in that book, but whatever the heck they've got, it sure ain't teeth. |
| 193 | ** And the winner is ... the Dhole! Not least because it's probably eaten most of the other contestants by now. |
| 194 | * ''Literature/PrincessesOfThePizzaParlor'': "Princesses on the Lonely Isle": The first monster seen has "a lot of teeth!": |
| 195 | --> Sally had seen sharks that weren't so well equipped. |
| 196 | * In ''Literature/TheStarchildTrilogy'', the pyropods (lit. "flame foot") are terrifying living rockets with a mouthful of teeth at the other end, which fly around devouring everything. |
| 197 | * The Chtorran worms in David Garrold's ''Literature/TheWarAgainstTheChtorr'' novels may have been a homage to the sandworms of ''Dune''. |
| 198 | * In ''Literature/{{Watersong}}'', when they assume their true forms, the sirens' mouths become filled with a huge number of sharp teeth. |
| 199 | * Boomer the hammerhead shark from ''Literature/WhosAfraidOfBoomer''. |
| 200 | * The ''Literature/ZacharyNixonJohnson'' series has a villain named Sammy Smiles, who has a hideously wide mouth with at least sixty teeth visible when he smiles. |
| 201 | [[/folder]] |
| 202 | |
| 203 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 204 | * The ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'' episode "Buggin Out" featured a gnat-like monster named Kombat Gnat who had several teeth like this and the power to shrink. This particular episode was a satire of David Cronenberg's remake ''Film/TheFly1986''. Flabber brings a drawing of a teleportation device to life and he tests it out. Kombat Gnat flies into the machine and their DNA gets merged. This causes Flabber to slowly turn into Kombat Gnat -- starting out with cute little vampiric fangs, then developing antennae and a row of razor-sharp teeth like this. |
| 205 | * ''Series/ChannelZero: Candle Cove'' takes this trope to its logical extreme with the [[HumanoidAbomination Tooth Child]], which appears to be ''made entirely of human teeth''. |
| 206 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 207 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]: Prisoner Zero had a mouth like a [[http://ocean.nationalgeographic.com/ocean/photos/deep-sea-creatures/#/deep-sea09-viper-fish_18169_600x450.jpg viper fish]] in its natural form. And these teeth are sometimes visible in its human mouths. |
| 208 | ** The vampires in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice "The Vampires of Venice"]]. |
| 209 | ** The new-series model of Cybermats. Yet they're adorable. |
| 210 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]]: Tzim-Sha (who the Doctor annoys by calling him Tim Shaw), an alien warlord wannabe who takes teeth from everyone he kills, and then implants them [[BodyHorror IN HIS OWN FACE]] as trophies on display. |
| 211 | ** In "The Five Doctors," Sarah Jane is reunited with the third Doctor. Dumbfounded, she says "You changed" and motions to her hair and teeth. Three queries "Teeth and curls? Well maybe so but not yet." (Referring to Four, who was noted for both features.) |
| 212 | * ''Series/TheGoodies''. In "Frakenfido", [[MadScientist Graeme Garden]] reveals he actually used the Osmonds to provide teeth for his monster dog. |
| 213 | -->'''Graeme:''' Look. Teeth. You wouldn't find teeth like these on a mere dog.\ |
| 214 | '''Tim:''' What are they? Horse, alligator, tiger...\ |
| 215 | '''Graeme:''' Look at them.\ |
| 216 | '''Tim:''' No! Not Donny Osmond!\ |
| 217 | '''Graeme:''' Yep.\ |
| 218 | '''Tim:''' You...you've been using people! [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Donny Osmond!]] |
| 219 | * An episode of ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero'' featured a mystical black void guarded by a Beast that was nothing but a giant champing set of teeth. |
| 220 | * The insect-like {{Mooks}} of ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'' are all {{top heavy guy}}s with bulbous upper bodies, which are actually ''four massive jaws'' all lined with sharp teeth. |
| 221 | * ''Series/TheLangoliers'' (again). |
| 222 | * ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': From the animated mind of Terry Gilliam, it's Conrad Pooh and his Dancing Teeth. |
| 223 | * An interstitial on Creator/{{MTV}}2 featured a hoard of superhero parodies, including Too Many Teeth Man, whose power is obvious. |
| 224 | * ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E19Stranded Stranded]]", Tyr'Nar has a huge number of razor-sharp teeth. |
| 225 | * The Polymorph in the ''Series/RedDwarf'' episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIIPolymorph Polymorph]]", a spoof of the [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorphs]]. The Polymorph, a shapeshifting EmotionEater, assumed the form of a monster from one of Lister's nightmares, which Rimmer fittingly describes as an "8-foot, armor-plated, alien killing machine" with "[[TropeNamers more teeth than the Osmond family]]". |
| 226 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': |
| 227 | ** Vampires have two sets of teeth: their human-like teeth, and a set of piranha-like retractable fangs which descend from their gums. |
| 228 | ** The Leviathans from season 7, whenever they [[GameFace reveal their "true" face]]. Essentially their entire head is occupied by mouth. |
| 229 | * ''Series/TheWheelOfTime2021'': The Myrdraal looks like a humanoid version of a sandworm with the complete large set of teeth, as shown when it screams in rage at Moiraine thwarting its Trollocs' pursuit. |
| 230 | [[/folder]] |
| 231 | |
| 232 | [[folder:Multiple Media]] |
| 233 | * Franchise/MonsterVerse: |
| 234 | ** ''Film/KongSkullIsland'': |
| 235 | *** The [[Characters/MonsterVerseSkullIslandKaijuAndOtherCreatures Skullcrawlers]]' mouths are full of a ridiculous number of inward-angled fangs[[note]]Clearly based on [[https://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/turtlemouyth.jpg leatherback turtle mouths]], which are keratinous spines rather than teeth[[/note]], which serve predominantly to support using their prehensile tongues to swallow smaller creatures whole. |
| 236 | *** Monarch's files describe the Swamp Locust as just being a throat filled with teeth and armed with claws. |
| 237 | ** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': |
| 238 | *** Not in the actual film, but in the {{novelization}}, [[Characters/MonsterVerseKaiju Mokele-Mbembe]] is described as having a crocodilian mouth with thousands of fanged teeth. |
| 239 | *** Also {{downplayed|Trope}} with [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah King Ghidorah]]'s heads, which each have roughly a single row of main teeth and smaller teeth poking out of their gums in random places (these extra teeth are more visible in the Ghidorah skull in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''). |
| 240 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SkullIsland2023'': The Kraken's beak has at least two rows of sharp teeth lining either jaw, and it's an incredibly nasty piece of work with a malicious personality fit to rival Ghidorah. |
| 241 | [[/folder]] |
| 242 | |
| 243 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 244 | * The Osmonds, the {{Trope Namer|s}}, were a [[TheSeventies 1970s]] BoyBand from Provo, Utah, composed of Mormon brothers ([[TheSmurfettePrinciple and occasionally one sister]]) who were collectively renowned for their super-excellent gleaming dentition. Posterity grants them a couple of not-bad tunes; younger generations may know Donny Osmond as the singing voice of Captain Li Shang from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' (y'know, "Let's get down to business...") or as Joseph in ''Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat''. Prankster comedians Series/TheGoodies also had a too-many-teeth-related gag or two at their expense. |
| 245 | * Music/FreddieMercury of Music/{{Queen}} fame had a distinctive overbite caused by four extra teeth that pushed his incisors outward. He refused to have this corrected for fear that it might harm his singing voice. |
| 246 | [[/folder]] |
| 247 | |
| 248 | [[folder:Mythology and Folklore]] |
| 249 | * [[OurManticoresAreSpinier Manticores]]. Those things have ''three rows'' of metal teeth. Fortunately they don't exist. [[ParanoiaFuel What was that sound?]] |
| 250 | * In traditional Eastern European Vampire folklore, vampires tend to have double rows of razor-sharp, strong-as-iron teeth used for chewing through wood, soil, flesh, bone, and organs. Some just have hollow, sharp tongues, and few don't have anything sharp in their mouths and take blood magically without even physically puncturing the victim's body. |
| 251 | * Some versions of the Japanese urban legend the Kuchisake-Onna have her GlasgowGrin full of lots and lots of sharp, pointy teeth. |
| 252 | [[/folder]] |
| 253 | |
| 254 | [[folder:Pinball]] |
| 255 | * In ''VideoGame/PinballDreams 2'', the robots in "Revenge of the Robot Warriors" all have this |
| 256 | [[/folder]] |
| 257 | |
| 258 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 259 | * ''Radio/JohnFinnemoresSouvenirProgramme:'' The guy in charge of the [[CelestialBureaucracy Celestial Bureaucracy's]] animal design department is alarmed when he sees the man who previously designed puffin's newest creation - the anglerfish, prompted by a very nasty breakup. He's particularly alarmed by its maw of needle-like teeth. And that's before he hears about how they reproduce... |
| 260 | [[/folder]] |
| 261 | |
| 262 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 263 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'': |
| 264 | ** The Tyranids, partly inspired by the Xenomorphs from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'', have ridiculous numbers of teeth, somewhere between the dinosaur type and the needle type. |
| 265 | ** Tyranid Rippers seem to be composed of ''nothing but teeth''. The basically unusable nature of the teeth is justified because they ''are'' nothing but weapons - Tyranid battle organisms do not have digestive systems, and are expected to simply throw themselves into pits of digestive juices after the battle. Assuming they survive, of course. |
| 266 | ** Then you have the Squigs of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' Fantasy (as well as 40k, though far less prominent). Ironically, Squigs are not only edible themselves, but described as delicious -- moist and flavorsome, combining the taste of smoked ham with the lightness of young chicken. One breed of Squig is actually known as the "facebiter/face-eater squig". A common orc contest of toughness and bravery has the Orcs try to eat a live squig, without using their hands, before it eats them. According to some early 40k sources, the Squigs are actually Tyranids created with Ork base genetic material; the Orks found the Squigs and adopted them into their culture sensing their inherent "Orky" nature. This was forgotten, though it may serve as the ultimate foundation for the Biovores and their rumored nature as Ork gene-infused Tyranids. |
| 267 | ** Then there are the Orcs/Orks, who in either setting use "teef" as money. Teef are acquired by either using your own or ripping out someone else's. Don't worry, they grow back. In the 40k fluff, there are various "tribes" of Orks that have different genetic quirks (usable in-game through several fan expansions). One of them is the Bad Moonz, who not only have more teeth than average but also regrow them at an increased rate. As such, they're the richest Orks around and always have the most snazz (although this isn't considered an unfair advantage because any other ork can acquire a fair share of this money via the traditional "right hook"). |
| 268 | ** Chaos' [[TheLegionsOfHell Legions of Hell]] just wouldn't be proper daemons if some of them didn't have more teeth than a dentition textbook, usually sticking out at odd and possibly noneuclidean angles. |
| 269 | * ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has an entire creature type of toothy monsters called Atogs. [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=31825 Here's one example]]. |
| 270 | ** [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=146010 Not that they're the only creatures that qualify.]] |
| 271 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |
| 272 | ** The supplement ''Tome of Magic'' contains the Tooth Beast: essentially a bear literally coated in teeth. Rather than skin, it has gums. [[http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ToMagic_Gallery/96076.jpg See it here.]] It has teeth for ''eyes'', and is wrong. |
| 273 | ** [[http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ToMagic_Gallery/96039.jpg Dahlver-Nar's Manifestation]]. Again, gums for skin and teeth everywhere... ''except'' the mouth. |
| 274 | ** The Gibbering Mouther is basically an ooze made out of goo, eyeballs, and mouths with sharp teeth. Lots and lots and lots of teeth. |
| 275 | ** And its big brother the Squamous Spewer, which is made of ''dragon'' eyes and teeth. |
| 276 | ** Beholders: look at those teeth! http://www.giantbomb.com/dungeons-dragons/62-167/ |
| 277 | ** ''Dungeons and Dragons: Book of Vile Darkness'' - The Whirlwind of Teeth. The caster can create an opaque area of swirling energy taking the form of roaring, screeching mouths full of teeth |
| 278 | ** The 3.5 Edition ''Monster Manual IV'' introduces the Fang Golem, a construct made entirely from teeth and fangs of various animals. It resembles a four-legged beast covered in ivory spikes, with a whirling tunnel of pointy death for a mouth. |
| 279 | ** Lunar dragons in ''TabletopGame/DragonMech'' sport enormous toothy maws. |
| 280 | * In ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', Halkomelem, The Enigma in Red and Gold, has three sets of jaws and learns anything a creature it eats knew. |
| 281 | * The Legion of Everblight from ''Hordes'' in the ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'' setting. It has warbeasts with no eyes, ears, or noses. Just mouths full of large, sharp teeth. |
| 282 | * One adventure for ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' had a table of descriptions for the various robots. For the Doberbot, the entry first lists the weapon, 16" long teeth, then under description: "You don't know, all you see are the teeth." |
| 283 | ** Was a possible ShoutOut to the monster in the Den segment of ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal''. |
| 284 | * In ''TabletopGame/ScarredLands'', one of the fallen titans was Gaurak the Glutton - an obese and monstrously ravenous deity who was said to have devoured everything on the once verdant moon. After his defeat by the titan's children, the gods, every one of his hundreds of teeth were pulled out and thrown across the destroyed world, taking on the form of mountains, obelisks, and trees which currently taint the surrounding land. |
| 285 | * In ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'', the merit "Gaping Maw" is available to Nosferatu characters--who are already butt-ugly per their curse--which lets them deal extra bite damage and gain an additional Blood Point every turn they spend feeding. |
| 286 | * In ''TabletopGame/GuessWho'', some characters have a ridiculous number of enormous teeth. |
| 287 | [[/folder]] |

| 290 | %%* Gadunka from ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}''. |
| 291 | %%[[/folder]] |
| 292 | |
| 293 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 294 | %% * The titular VideoGame/AoOni. |
| 295 | * ''VideoGame/BuckshotRoulette'': The monstrous Dealer's mouth is lined with thin, razor-sharp teeth. |
| 296 | * The monsters of ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'' each come with a mouth packed full of fangs. They put them to good use eating the population of Shear. |
| 297 | * Fuel your nightmares with this [[http://www.soularchive.jp/SC3/img/wp/aby1024.jpg picture]] - Abyss of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur III]]''. Four rows of teeth pointing down at the top of his mouth, three rows pointing up from the bottom, and no, that's not a crown, those aren't horns, that's another row of teeth pointing up ''at the top of his head''. And this is the [[OneWingedAngel Soul Sword empowered form]] of Zasalamel, a ''normal (immortal) guy''. |
| 298 | ** Some versions of the sword Soul Edge, in addition to having [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes]], also have teeth. Inferno, the spirit of Soul Edge, is implicitly an immaterial being with so many teeth they can spill over into the physical realm. |
| 299 | * ''VideoGame/TimeSplittersFuturePerfect'': "Shoot anything with teeth bigger than its face!" |
| 300 | * Pretty much every monster in the Amiga/Atari/C64/MS-DOS game ''VideoGame/WeirdDreams'' had lots and lots of very large teeth. According to [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]], the author had a dental phobia. |
| 301 | * As if the entire concept of ''[[{{VideoGame/XCOM}} X-COM]]''[='=]s [[DemonicSpiders Chryssalids]] aren't nightmarish enough, someone decided to give their research entry images permanent, toothy smiles. |
| 302 | * Decarabia from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow''. Imagine a starfish's hungry mouth staring straight at you. Imagine that mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. Now, imagine said starfish hurtling at you at approximately 80 MPH. |
| 303 | * The Rifle Demons in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series have mouths full of large, pointy, and perpetually visible teeth. They tend to get a lot of emphasis in [[SuperMovePortraitAttack their team attack portraits]]. |
| 304 | * ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': |
| 305 | ** Baraka has a mouth full of pointy teeth, as do other Tarkatan. His teeth in [[VideoGame/MortalKombatII his first appearance]] were acryllic nails glued to a cheap Nosferatu mask. |
| 306 | ** Mileena, a female ninja with a bombshell body [[{{Butterface}} ruined by a mouth with more teeth than a school of piranha.]] In the original timelines, this is because she's a deformed clone of Kitana fused with Tarkatan essence, while in [[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 the New Era]], its an off-and-on side effect of the Tarkat virus. |
| 307 | * The Protopets from ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando''. Give a [[Franchise/StarTrek tribble]] the jaws and personality of a Great White Shark, and you've got a pretty close approximation. |
| 308 | * One of two [[TheFaceless discernible facial features]] of Taokaka in ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' is a mouth full of lots of very sharp, pointy teeth. |
| 309 | * A few mutants in ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', particularly in the later stages of G-virus infection. |
| 310 | * The Gaets in ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' are easily among the toothiest monsters in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'', all of their various species having a huge mouthful of large, perpetually visible teeth of either the shark-like triangular or pointy needle variety. |
| 311 | * [[https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Gods?file=Yogg-Saron.jpg Yogg-Saron]], one of the Old Gods from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. |
| 312 | * Just in case you didn't figure out Chancellor Cole was an EvilChancellor before then in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'', the last you see of him before he explicitly outs himself as one is him flashing an evil grin full of pointed, shark-like teeth. |
| 313 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': |
| 314 | ** [[SandWorm Thresher Maws]] are described in the Codex as "abominations of tentacles and teeth." They're even ''scarier''. |
| 315 | ** The yahg, who are clearly not a species to mess with despite only appearing twice (counting [=DLC=]). The first one you meet is [[spoiler: the Shadow Broker.]] Shepard calls attention to this in the third game. |
| 316 | * Fuzzles from ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}''. They start out looking tiny cute little furballs until they go into attack mode where they become rabid and reveal their mouth filled to the brim with razor-sharp teeth. |
| 317 | * The [[EldritchAbomination Dragon God]] from ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dnEzkbdTa0I#t=129s needs a second mouth to contain all his teeth.]] ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', its SpiritualSuccessor, gives us this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjEb646Bjsc lovely beast]]; less "Monster with lots of teeth" and more "Teeth with a hint of monster." It's called "the Gaping Dragon" and it's basically a ''bona fide'' dragon whose entire upper torso has been transformed into a gigantic mouth, so consuming is its HorrorHunger. |
| 318 | * The Malboros from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series are giant plants with this many teeth, [[ExtraEyes almost as many eyes]], and CombatTentacles. Neither of which is their true power that makes them deadly; the fact that they exhale choking, poisonous gas (which may or may not be a way nastier, weaponized form of tobacco smoke) with their signature Bad Breath attack is. |
| 319 | * The Garmraid in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX'' can attach its shoulder guards to its fists, then tossing a ''RocketPunch'' with teeth. |
| 320 | ** One upped by [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Alfimi's Persoenlichkeit]] in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration 2nd Original Generation.]]'' [[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/441/hownice.jpg/ It is not pretty to see.]] |
| 321 | ** The Shiseiten, the Epilogue Boss from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Third Super Robot Wars: Jigoku-Hen]]'', is a six-mouthed skeletal beast with tons of sharp fangs. |
| 322 | * The Ultimate Chimera in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'' is a devilish-looking beast that's practically a walking set of huge, pointed teeth, it having a massive maw that runs almost the length of its whole body. One chomp from it is enough to do the party in immediately, without even giving them a chance to battle it proper. |
| 323 | * Night Of Wallachia from ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' has a lot of extremely sharp teeth. |
| 324 | * The Hebby Repp and Sudo Neku Dream Eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' have a mouthful of pointy triangular teeth, kept in a constant smile, though it's purely for cuteness. The Tyranto Rex, on the other hand, has a mouthful of perpetually visible fang-like teeth that make it look more than slightly intimidating. |
| 325 | * True Ogre from the ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'' series has a couple of fangs on his ''lips'', along with the set of fangs in his mouth, which are attached to gross, elongated gums. It's as if he has a mouth ''within'' a mouth. |
| 326 | * Demitri Maximoff from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' has lots of sharp teeth, as prominently shown in the ''Night Warriors'' OVA. |
| 327 | * The Nosalis mutants in ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'', redesigned from the first game, now have enormous mouths that dominate their whole faces and are filled to the brim with huge fangs. Their [[EyelessFace lack of visible eyes]] serves to further highlight their teeth. |
| 328 | * One of the most immediately obvious characteristics of the [[HostileAnimatronics murderous animatronics]] of the ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series is their teeth. |
| 329 | ** From the first game, there are the enormous, denture-like teeth of Bonnie and Freddy, the sharp fangs of Foxy, and ToothyBird Chica. ''Too'' toothy, in fact, as her costume plainly exposes the endoskeleton's teeth at the back of her mouth and makes her look [[http://freddy-fazbears-pizza.wikia.com/wiki/File:226_bright.png even more disturbing]]. |
| 330 | ** This gets progressively worse in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'' with the old animatronics now in such a state of disrepair that their endoskeleton teeth are even more prominent. This is especially startling with Bonnie, who in spite of [[TheFaceless having his face ripped off]], still manages to have a lot of teeth visible in what remains of his jaw. The worst is probably Mangle, who manages to have no less than ''three'' sets of jaws thanks to its status as some kind of BodyHorror animatronic. |
| 331 | ** It comes to a head in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'', where the horrific and frankly revolting-looking Springtrap has a near-permanent SlasherSmile. This is because when it ''does'' open its mouth it reveals that it has more teeth inside just like all the others... [[spoiler:that is, ''real human teeth'', because of the presence of a mutilated, decades-old mummified corpse hidden in the suit... the corpse of the child-murdering psychopath responsible for the entire ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' saga]]. |
| 332 | ** In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'', Chica's taken this trope back: [[http://i.imgur.com/3c3NylC.png she has three sets of teeth,]] all of them incredibly sharp. In fact, all the animatronics are focusing on teeth this time. |
| 333 | * In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', Killer Croc has enough teeth to permanently injure Scarecrow's face and leg with a single bite. |
| 334 | * Several of the bosses in ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' that has a bite attack naturally come with lots of teeth to chew you with. Most notable among them is the boss in the B Path of the Lost Woods, which looks rather benign until it opens a mouth larger than the rest of its head and shows its rows of nasty, big, pointy teeth. |
| 335 | * The Kayran from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'', a part-crab and part-cephalopod monster, has plenty of teeth in its mouth. |
| 336 | * [[MonsterKnight Undyne]] from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has so many sharp teeth, she can't even fully cover them with her lips, leaving her with a constant SlasherSmile. [[spoiler:It becomes a minor plot point during her IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight segment of the TrueFinalBoss battle when one of the things player has to do to snap her out of the trance is remind her how much she liked to smile.]] |
| 337 | * In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, this is a trait of Daedroths, a [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile crocodilian]] form of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent lesser Daedra]]. They have rows of razor-sharp teeth. |
| 338 | * ''VideoGame/StarCraft2'' [[PlayedForLaughs plays this for laughs]]: |
| 339 | -->'''Dehaka:''' I have so many teeth! Must evolve toothbrush. |
| 340 | * In ''VideoGame/EatMe'', Frypan Frederick, who is made of frogs' legs, has these: |
| 341 | -->No eyes, poor dear, nor nose, nor ears: that's what you get with a leg for a head. At least he has a mouth, and what a mouth, with human teeth in the hundreds to compensate. |
| 342 | * The swamp krakken boss from ''VideoGame/EternityTheLastUnicorn'', who resembles the classical GiantSquid monster (of the Humboldt squid variety) save for having ''spiked'' tentacles and a gigantic mouth lined with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth, which it uses to chomp you down. |
| 343 | * By virtue of having ''a mouth that extends down her torso'', the Widow enemy from ''VideoGame/WrathAeonOfRuin'' has a ''lot'' of teeth. On the bright side, it means [[BallisticBone quite a bit more ammo for the Fang Spitter to use]] when you kill one. |
| 344 | * Almost everything in the Gluttony area of ''VideoGame/DantesInferno''. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dantesinferno/images/4/4b/Gluttons_Halls.jpg The normal enemies with multiple faces]]? [[http://www.gamernode.com/upload/manager/Review%20Images/Dantes%20Inferno/digluttony.jpg The background with massive teeth snapping at you]]? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGvjueo_Mlg Cerberus who is a nightmare of giant human body with three fleshy heads consisting of multiple teeth that try to eat each other?]] The third circle of hell got 'em all! |
| 345 | * ''VideoGame/ParanormalHK'' have the ghosts, whose teeth are several ''inches'' high and bulges out their mouths, especially evident in one JumpScare cutscene where a spooky ghost-girl lunges at you, |
| 346 | * ''VideoGame/PathfinderKingmaker'': The Troll King Hargulka's lower jaw consists of an absolutely massive amount of teeth, even for a troll. |
| 347 | * ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' introduces the Deviljho, a constantly ravenous T. rex-like monster that stands out among other examples. How so? [[BodyHorror Not all of its teeth are in its mouth.]] |

| 350 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 351 | * The dragon in ''VisualNovel/DraKoi'' grows masses of fangs when she launches a beam attack from her human form. |
| 352 | [[/folder]] |
| 353 | |
| 354 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 355 | * Werewolves in ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' have these, even in human form. |
| 356 | * ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'': |
| 357 | ** While Charby can pass off his teeth as CuteLittleFangs, they are definitely plentiful and sharp by default, and he occasionally transforms them to be [[http://www.charbythevampirate.com/comic/58 even more intimidating.]] ('''Warning:''' Decapitation depicted in link.) |
| 358 | ** Muchnie's mouth is full of [[http://www.charbythevampirate.com/comic/50 long overlapping crooked teeth.]] |
| 359 | ** Zeno's teeth may not be pointed but it is a mystery how the many things all manage to [[http://www.charbythevampirate.com/comic/36 fit in his mouth.]] |
| 360 | * ''Webcomic/DNATheWebcomic'': Species X have mouths full of sharp teeth. |
| 361 | * Orcs in ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' have tusks and fanged maws, which becomes more obvious when they are pissed. Unusually, orcs are obligate herbivores, and the hard, pointed teeth are for cracking open the extremely tough root vegetables of their homeland. |
| 362 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', the Goo, especially in [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2002-10-09 its Omega Goo form]] has countless sharp teeth. |
| 363 | * Florence Ambrose of ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' has these, but she struggles to keep them hidden, as long as she remembers, since humans tend to react badly to them. Example: [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01696.htm Snap!]] |
| 364 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': |
| 365 | ** The Jägermonsters have [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080512 far]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 too]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080618 many]] long, sharp teeth to fit into their (sometimes) human-sized mouths. |
| 366 | ** Krosp has teeth more suited to a shark than a cat. |
| 367 | ** Consider the [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050404 horse monster beastie]]. ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050413 Argh!]]'' |
| 368 | * Sobek of ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'' shows a mouth full of thickly packed fangs when he suffers GlamourFailure. He's a crocodile god. |
| 369 | * The space [[LizardFolk lizard]] merc in ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' has to [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-925-star-crossed-mercs/ clarify]] that those are ''lip tusks''. |
| 370 | * ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': |
| 371 | ** The [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=349 yellow salamander]] from Chapter 16 had double rows of sharp fangs. Nightmare fuel, literally: [[spoiler:it appeared in a character's nightmare, and it symbolized the house fire that ''killed his entire family'']]. |
| 372 | ** Coyote's etherial form is a mishmash of teeth, eyes, and night sky. |
| 373 | ** Zimmy; she's nominally human, but her teeth resemble a shark more than a person. |
| 374 | ** Ominous connotations are averted by the friendliest [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=987 badger spirit]] you'll ever meet. |
| 375 | * Heartless Annie from ''Webcomic/{{Hexameron}}'' has a mouth is filled with lots of long sharp wooden teeth. |
| 376 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 377 | ** Most [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]] have sharp and pointy teeth, but Feferi, having the highest blood type, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004322 can be downright terrifying]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005227 when she shows all of them]], even though she's one of the [[GenkiGirl nicest trolls]]. |
| 378 | ** There's also [[AmoralAttorney Terezi Pyrope]], who isn't so much unusual but stands out because she's almost ''always'' seen [[TheHyena grinning or cackling]] with her many rows of shark-like teeth on display. |
| 379 | ** The [[EldritchAbomination Gods of the Furthest Ring]] are prone to this |
| 380 | ** [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008688 Gamzee]], after being freed from mind control to find that he's been turned into a cutting board. |
| 381 | * ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' has a [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/389 subterranean worm]] that has this in spades. |
| 382 | * ''Webcomic/NerfNow'' |
| 383 | ** Zerglings are normally portrayed as adorable, but they're shown as having lots and lots of sharp teeth whenever they stare down something they're planning to fight with ([[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/616 or play-fight with]].) |
| 384 | ** In [[https://www.nerfnow.com/comic/2838 this comic]] [[AuthorAvatar Tentajo]] is briefly shown with two massive rows of teeth...with one less because he had a wisdom tooth taken out. |
| 385 | * Red from ''Webcomic/RubyQuest'' looks quite normal... until he opens his mouth to laugh, and just keeps opening it ''wider'' and ''wider''... |
| 386 | * Some of the Aberrants from ''Webcomic/{{Runewriters}}'' have plenty of sharp teeth to go around. The moon wolves also have pretty toothy grins. |
| 387 | * The Mihrrgoots from ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'' have very wide mouths completely filled with sharp teeth. |
| 388 | * ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': The transformation into an UndeadAbomination undergone by some [[ThePlague Rash]] victims has an uncanny tendency to include gaining extra teeth. |
| 389 | * ''Webcomic/Trevor2020'': [[spoiler:Trevor]] kills Private Young with a large, elongated, toothy maw. |
| 390 | * The Oracles in Chapter 2 of ''Webcomic/VariousHappenings'' are shown to have several rows of very sharp, nasty-looking teeth. |
| 391 | * Damien from ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'' has to power to form mouths all over his body, adding up to approximately as many sharp teeth as deemed necessary. Blake has the same powers but sharper, more chainsaw-like teeth to back up his bite. |
| 392 | [[/folder]] |
| 393 | |
| 394 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 395 | * Averted in ''Blog/HamstersParadise''. None of the animals on the planet have more than 16 teeth (consisting of 4 incisors and 12 molars) because that was the number the original founding hamsters had. However, the leviahams and rattiles simulate this by having multiple sharp points on their molar caps and the rattiles will even regularly shed their caps to grow new ones. |
| 396 | * ''Website/SCPFoundation'': |
| 397 | ** After [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-478 SCP-478 ("Tooth Fairies")]] infects a human victim's mouth, teeth will begin to grow at a tremendous rate. The growth will fill the victim's palate and then spread to the rest of the digestive tract, lungs, and underneath the skin. |
| 398 | ** There's also [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3288 SCP-3288]] ("TheAristocrats"), a species of TheMorlocks dwelling in the underground of Central Europe. Each member has sixty teeth, arranged into six rows, and each tooth is far larger than a normal human's. |
| 399 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4910 SCP-4910]] ("The Grinner"): The only footage of the creature shows its mouth having a lot of extra teeth, and it's described as a "dental quadruped" implying that it might have even more teeth all over. Most direct witnesses will also exhibit this, having uncontrolled growth of teeth. Those who witness an infected vector befall a similar process, with the addition of dental growth spreading to their lower body cavities. |
| 400 | * ''Platform/DeviantArt'': [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=9&q=two+heads&offset=48#/d3fynx6 Some Cherubs]] |
| 401 | * Beau of ''WebOriginal/VoxAndKingBeau'' is described as having several rows of sharp crocodile-like teeth paired with a smile wider than any human's. Even better, it's stated that he likes to use them to snarl at people when he wants to intimidate them. |
| 402 | * [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Spider-demon]] Arachne in ''Literature/VoidDomain'' is described as having many, very sharp teeth any time she smiles. She is very fond of smiling. |
| 403 | * For ease of drawing, very frequently in the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom artists will draw smiling predators with teeth that look like closed bear traps, even if the species itself has a dental profile closer to a human. |
| 404 | * ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': [[PiranhaProblem Biting Blue Fish]] have teeth are about half the length of their bodies. |
| 405 | * [[http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/Arcalane/toothy-rocks.jpg These toothy fellas]] are terrifying for some and [[UglyCute adorable]] for others. |
| 406 | * The infamous [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/60436 Smile Dog]] {{Creepypasta}}/shock image combines this with a SlasherSmile. |
| 407 | * ''Literature/{{Reasoning}}'' has the Larrxox, a giant lamprey-like monster whose mouth is littered with many rings of teeth. |
| 408 | * Many of the characters in ''WebVideo/SatelliteCity'' have loads of pointy teeth (and at least one has extra mouths in place of eyes), but Lucy Lacemaker in particular likes to show hers off at every opportunity. |
| 409 | [[/folder]] |
| 410 | |
| 411 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 412 | * ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': The [[Characters/JackieChanAdventuresOniAndShadowkhan Leech Khan/Mini Khan]] in Season 4 have a jaw full of lots of razor-sharp teeth in place of eyes. |
| 413 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'': [[Characters/{{Wakfu}} Anathar]]'s head nearly doubles in size when he bares his fangs. |
| 414 | * The aptly-named villain Megabyte from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot''. Hexadecimal, too. |
| 415 | * [[MeaningfulName Ripjaws]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. He can use his razor-sharp teeth to tear through steel. |
| 416 | * The Plutarkians from ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' have teeth like this. |
| 417 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' once had a cutaway gag about this trope, featuring the Osmond family with buck teeth. |
| 418 | * A majority of monsters from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', notably the weremole and the giant alien worm from the episode "Tulip's Worm". Even Courage ''himself,'' especially in the theme song. |
| 419 | * Every single monster from ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies''. |
| 420 | * The bulldog from the classic Creator/TexAvery ''WesternAnimation/ChillyWilly'' cartoon "WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfRockabyePoint". |
| 421 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'', in an episode of the TV series, in a horror moment that would make [[WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack Flapjack]] proud. |
| 422 | * One of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Sylvester the Cat]]'s shorts had him try to catch fish [[TooDumbToLive in a piranha aquarium]]. After he gets out, he quips "nah, they're just skin and teeth", and the fish give him a CheshireCatGrin. |
| 423 | * The Joker in all his cartoon incarnations (''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/TheNewBatmanAdventures'',''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'') so much so that when Creator/MarkHamill auditioned for the part in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', he commented in a Making Of video that the Joker seemed to be "all teeth". |
| 424 | * [[Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Sky-byte's]] ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' [[http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/4/47/Sky_Byte_by_BillForster.jpg version]], as seen in the ''Transformers Animated Allspark Almanac''. Terrified yet? The different version of him shown in ''Decepti-Con Job'' is far less horrifying. |
| 425 | * ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' brings us the Scraplets. Two feet tall... with mouths that make up about a third of that height. They make a sound like a chainsaw revving when they open their jaws. According to Bulkhead, they bite their way into a mechanoid and then eat them alive from the inside out. |
| 426 | * As it turns out, ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'''s Earl of Lemongrab has an unhingable jaw full of these. As if he wasn't disturbing enough already. The [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ice King]] has these too, serving as [[spoiler:a physical manifestation of his becoming a monster]]. |
| 427 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. One word: [[MemeticMutation OVERTIME?!?!]] |
| 428 | * The [[SandWorm Sandshark]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has several expandable jaws, each of them bristling with teeth. |
| 429 | * Among the guests at Rocky's birthday party in the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "The Unmentionables" is [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bz2IEqOIMAAzCz0.jpg Teeth Malloy]]. No other facial features except for a big, wide set of choppers. |
| 430 | * The Bite-acudas in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Non-Compete Clause" are basically giant toothy mouths attached to fish. It's made even more obvious when [[{{Shapeshifting}} Ocellus]] transforms into a giant one to scare off the regular-sized ones and save her professors. |
| 431 | * In ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2021'', Trap Jaw has rows of sharp teeth in his mouth and throat that rotate and tear through anything like an industrial garbage disposal. |
| 432 | [[/folder]] |
| 433 | |
| 434 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
| 435 | * [[ThreateningShark Sharks]], both living and extinct. Not only do they have a complete set of choppers, but they have multiple replacement sets growing right behind the first set. This is because when you eat like a shark, you go through teeth ''fast''. Most sharks have anywere from 50-300 teeth. |
| 436 | * [[https://www.reddit.com/r/thanksihateit/comments/ecagn9/what_do_you_think_the_inside_of_a_leatherback_sea/ Leatherback Sea Turtles]] have mouths lined throughout with sharp teeth. This is not so much a malicious example as a practical one--their main diet is jellyfish. |
| 437 | * Crocodilians. Their teeth are not designed for cutting or grinding but are designed for grabbing and holding. So they're shaped more like dull railroad spikes that are driven into your limbs so they can rip chunks off of you when they spin their bodies. And, like sharks and dinosaurs, the teeth are designed to fall out and be replaced easily. Crocodiles have up to 66 teeth, alligators up to 80, and gharials up to 110. |
| 438 | * Humans. When they are young, children will have two sets of teeth; their baby/milk teeth, and their adult teeth beneath. This means that a child's skull will [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/78/27/4c/78274ce3cf11d9bec1292088b9b8ec11.jpg contain both]], even if they aren't in the mouth at the same time. |
| 439 | ** Sometimes, humans young and older will suffer from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdontia hyperdontia]], where their mouths become unsightly jumbles of uneven teeth. |
| 440 | * Lampreys have a sucker that is full of sharp teeth and serves as their mouth. And they use it to latch on to a fish, so they can suck on its blood, until said fish dies. They even have [[LampreyMouth a trope]] named after them that's about this very same kind of mouth. |
| 441 | [[/folder]] |
| 442 | ---- |
| 443 | --> The Osmond family have about [[DontExplainTheJoke 224 teeth. Or 32 teeth per member.]] |
