History Main / CuteLittleFangs

This trope is also TruthInTelevision. [[CuteKitten Many baby animals, whether]] [[PreciousPuppies of the carnivorous persuasion]] [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys or the simian persuasion]] sport Cute Little Fangs. In a stranger case, some Asian people inherit a physical trait known traditionally as "Tiger Teeth", a genetic quirk that results in elongated eye teeth. This is particularly common in Japan (due to a common genetic quirk), where they're known as "yaeba" and typically considered cute. Teeth which are crowded in the mouth can result in pushed-forward eyeteeth, giving the same effect.

* The Cat from ''Series/RedDwarf'' has large fangs. They're the only visible sign that he's not really human.

* Sora's [[Film/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Halloween Town]] costume in the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' series.

* {{Trope-tan}} has one.

* Rin Matsuoka from Anime/''{{Free}}'' has these as a child. When he gets older, the effect is lost as he's somehow grown a set of shark-like teeth.

** Tsuruya (that's her at the top of the page), whose FanNickname is LOL Fang-tan. In a noteworthy variation, the fang actually gives her a [[FangThpeak speech impediment]][[hottip:*:The fang causes her to mispronounce certain words; it has nothing to do with her sing-song style of speaking]]. Which just makes her ''that much cuter.''

* Madarame from ''{{Manga/Genshiken}}'' and his [[SpiritualSuccessor successor]][[hottip:*:future self]] in ''Manga/SpottedFlower'', though "cute" might not be the word. The fangs emphasize his snake-like qualities.

* Rin Matsuoka from ''Manga/Free!'' has these as a child. When he gets older, the effect is lost as he's somehow grown a set of shark-like teeth.

* Rin Matsuoka from ''Anime/Free!'' has these as a child. When he gets older, the effect is lost as he's somehow grown a set of shark-like teeth.

* The LittleBitBeastly {{Kitsune}} Tomoe from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' has them.

* Javik in ''MassEffect3'' has some, although due to being a PerpetualFrowner, they're rarely seen.

This trope is also TruthInTelevision. [[CuteKitten Many baby animals, whether]] [[PreciousPuppies of the carnivorous persuasion]] [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys or the simian persuasion]] sport Cute Little Fangs. In a stranger case, some Asian people inherit a physical trait known traditionally as "Tiger Teeth", a genetic quirk that results in elongated eye teeth. This is particularly common in Japan (due to a common genetic quirk), where they're known as "yaeba" and typically considered cute. Teeth which are crowded in the mouth can result in pushed-forward incisors, giving the same effect.

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 CatSmile. This seems to indicate, generally, a character who is mischievous, slightly hostile, or a trickster -- without actually being a bad guy.

CuteLittleFangs are pretty much a standard feature of [[CatGirl Cat Girls]] and many other LittleBitBeastly people. UglyCute characters tend to have these as part of their unconventional brand of cuteness.

Viewers who are unable to appreciate the cuteness here may refer to this as a "snaggletooth".
