1	'''Basic Trope''': An evil or dangerous character with fangs.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** A villain has pointy fangs.
4	** [[BloodKnight A particularly violent character]] has larger than normal canine teeth.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** Every villain we see has ridiculously gigantic fangs sticking out of their mouths.
7	** The BigBad doesn't seem to have ''fangs'' so much as ''tusks''.
8	* '''Downplayed''': While not always evil fanged species are usually selfish and short tempered jerks at the very least.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** The character is a vampire, werewolf, or a similar creature, and the fangs are a species trait.
11	** The villain is so evil, their teeth have actually mutated!
12	* '''Inverted''': The villain's teeth are actually less pointy than the hero's.
13	* '''Subverted''': The villain with fangs undergoes a HeelFaceTurn.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': The character with fangs succumbs to their monster instincts and goes back to evil.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** New recruits to the villain's side are cheerfully handed the proper equipment to sharpen their teeth into fangs.
17	** The BigBad is killed by causing them to bite their tongue and die of blood loss.
18	* '''Zig Zagged''': The character with pointy fangs is a FaceHeelRevolvingDoor.
19	* '''Averted''':
20	** Nobody in the story has fangs.
21	** There is no correlation between the pointiness of one's teeth and the content of one's character.
22	* '''Enforced''': The artist wanted to give it to everyone but ExecutiveMeddling made them take the "satanic" fangs off of everyone except the villains.
23	* '''Lampshaded''': "Eek, those fangs make them look scary!"
24	* '''Invoked''': A character files their canine teeth to points to make themselves look more threatening.
25	* '''Exploited''': The first thing the heroes do when meeting new characters is check their mouths for fangs to see if they're villains.
26	* '''Defied''': The villain takes great pride in their teeth and makes sure they're all perfectly non-pointed and sparkling, to avoid looking too clearly evil.
27	* '''Discussed''': "Uh oh, I can tell they're evil, just look at those fangs of theirs!"
28	* '''Conversed''': "Hah, I wish real life worked like that. You can tell if a guy's evil just by their teeth - how stupid!"
29	* '''Deconstructed''': Fangs are considered evil because of FantasticRacism the [[KnightTemplar protagonist's side encourages]].
30	* '''Reconstructed''': Those who have fangs are still [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch (mostly)]] evil, though - that's why there is a [[StopBeingStereotypical prejudice against them in the first place]].
