* Frederica and Garfiel from ''LightNovel/ReZero'' have such teeth. Subaru once noted that Frederica would probably be a really pretty woman if she didn't have teeth like that. Both have such teeth because they are hybrids of humans and [[LittleBitBeastly beastmen]]. Despite the creepy teeth, both are good guys, even if Garfiel isn't always the nicest.

** When the MouthOfSauron appears in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'', his helmet covers up every part of his face except for his mouth, which often grins with elongated, pointy teeth covered in black ichor. Eugh. Special effects trickery was used to enlarge the actor's mouth to make it look [[UncannyValley even more freaky and uncanny]]. It is strongly implied that the reason the Mouth's teeth are so horrible is because hundreds of years of repeating [[BlackSpeech Sauron's evil words]] was enough to rot his mouth and teeth.

* Elphaba from ''Literature/{{Wicked}}'' was ''born'' with a row of sharp teeth. She however is otherwise a subversion because she wasn't any crueler than any other baby. Elphaba's teeth and green skin are a side-effect of a potion given to her mother used to [[SlippingAMickey knock out her]] by Elphaba's biological father. As an adult, Elphaba's teeth are normal.

* ''Film/TheNorthman'' has a valkyrie with [[https://culturacolectiva-cultura-colectiva-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/pMd2YiCPgW9vqAouPf_5hEi14RE=/1024x768/filters:format(jpg):quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/culturacolectiva/BIYFY67FHBCTJJQI5TWS5M7B3M.jpg filed teeth]], based on [[https://www.zmescience.com/mrf4u/statics/i/ps/cdn.zmescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Hu8cgi0.jpg?width=1200&enable=upscale actual Viking remains]].

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'''s Kisame Hoshigaki has pointed teeth, among other shark-like characteristics. Other members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist also have such teeth, though unlike Kisame they usually look like normal humans in all other respects. And Kisame is the most prominent example because he has far more screen time than all of the others.

* A subdued example and visual cue in ''[[Film/SpiderMan1]]'' to show whether it's Norman or the Goblin the audience is seeing: Norman has "perfect" teeth, and the Goblin has Creator/WillemDafoe's natural smile, gap and all.

* Franchise/{{Batman}}:

** This trope is also played with regarding ComicBook/TheJoker and his teeth - depending on the artist, his teeth can be a nasty yellowed color (implying he probably doesn't brush them), drawn unevenly, drawn longer than or as being more prominent than normal, [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily share space with FAR too many teeth for a normal human being]], or a combination of more than one of these.
** ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': Robin and Spoiler fight a gangster with uneven teeth one of which he's incredibly proud of which grew bizarrely long and which he had filed to a point to look like a tusk. Robin kicks it right out of his mouth.
** Minor Franchise/{{Batman}} foe the Mirror Man has crooked uneven teeth that are a major part of his distinctive look.

* ComicBook/SpiderMan villain Tombstone has pointed teeth, because he purposely filed them that way to make himself look scary.

* Seth Brundle in Creator/DavidCronenberg's remake ''Film/TheFly1986'' slowly loses his teeth as the transformation progresses, making him look more inhuman and threatening. It also distorts his voice to the point that eventually his computer doesn't recognize it.

** Less pronounced, but if his slightly insulting behavior at the beginning of ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' hasn't suggested to you that [[spoiler:Saruman]] might be a bad guy, his rather filthy teeth (compared to Gandalf's fairly healthy ones) really ought to have.
*** They are, in fact, Creator/ChristopherLee's [[BritishTeeth natural set]], but they are made more pronounced by making his otherwise white beard dark around his mouth.
** Orcs have sharp, jagged teeth, made more horrifying by their lips being constantly pulled back, giving them a snarling expression.

* ''Film/SuicideSquad'' has both Killer Croc's jagged, pointy crocodile teeth, and a version of the Joker with unnerving metallic prostheses for teeth, which we get to see quite a lot thanks to a nigh permanent SlasherSmile.

* In ''Film/SnuffMovie'', Teeth--one of the trio of teenage killers--has filed her teeth into points. She uses them to [[ManBitesMan tear out Jack's throat]].

* ''Film/{{Sputnik}}''. The alien has teeth that can rip your head open so it can feed on the hormones in the victim's brain. This doesn't help when the protagonist is UpCloseWithTheMonster and trying not to feel fear to avoid generating those same hormones.
* ''Film/OuijaMummy'': [[spoiler:Chase's]] teeth turn sharp and curved when [[spoiler:he's turned into Ahotep the 1st's servant]].

* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' combines it with GrossUpCloseUp to illustrate Gabe's [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/05/18/the-maw less-than-stellar mouth hygiene]] (how he doesn't realize he has a racoon living inside his mouth, we may never know).

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacoleo Thylacoleo]], an extinct carnivore related to wombats, had teeth similar to both its relatives and Dunkleosteus. However, those teeth were made for hunting, and was speculated to act like a guillotine.
