* Played straight in ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' when someone puts on [[ArtifactOfDoom The Mesoamerican Stone Mask]] and splashes it with blood, turning the wearer into a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampiric monster]].
** Also Mannish Boy, the evil baby in [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]], has this as a tell-tale sign that he's evil despite being an infant (and ''not'' a vampire).

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': Though it's not clear in the game itself, official artworks often depict Ganon having a mouth full of sharp teeth along with tusks.

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'':
** The Interpol agent Shi-Lang has sharp fangs to compliment his wolflike nature. He hates prosecutors, arrests people for little to no reason, and is a bit of a jerk to Edgeworth. However, he is presented sympathetically [[spoiler: and even provides a BigDamnHeroes moment when he gets Alba's diplomatic immunity revoked.]]
** Played straight with Furio Tigre, an intimidating and badly tanned loan shark who, through a PaperThinDisguise and everyone else being idiots, managed to actually impersonate Phoenix Wright because they had the same spiky hair.

* Thunderstick from ''WesternAnimation/BraveStarr''. It severely laps into CuteLittleFangs...ehm, YOU tell him that. (Interestingly, no image of Vipra with snake fangs could be found.)

* Discussed in a sort of FantasticRacism sense in ''{{WesternAnimation/ReBoot}}''; [[PlayfulHacker Mouse]] is suspected of several abductions in one episode, and another character denies that it has anything to do with the fact that she's got fangs.
** Megabyte and Hexadecimal also have fangs. Megabyte's fangs are hard to notice until he drops his FauxAffablyEvil persona and starts acting like the vicious predator he is. Hexadecimal's fangs only appear when she switches to her NightmareFace.
%%* [[MadeOfEvil Aku]] of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' fits this trope to a T.

* ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'':
** Taken to its logical conclusion by Hiruma. ''All'' of his teeth are fangly, they're visible pretty much any time he opens his mouth (which is often), and when you see them, [[CheshireCatGrin he's definitely being a dangerous trickster.]]
** Played [[FangsAreEvil straight]] with Kamiya Taiga of the Magaki Wolves, whose little fang is just one of the many lupine qualities he has.

* The [[AlwaysChaoticEvil less morally righteous]] folk and many non-human creatures of the ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}'' series usually have more intimidating fangs than [[CuteLittleFangs the usual endearing variety]].
** The half-demon half-dragon Valgaav has the most menacing fangs, while the affable demonic priest Xellos has a smaller, but no less scary set. Creatures such as trolls and werewolves also have fangs.
** The [[CursedWithAwesome cursed chimera]] Zelgadis also has a set of less-than-adorable fang-like teeth on his upper jaw, but they're almost never seen unless he's completely livid.
* Viral from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is a crossbreed of human, cat, and shark -- with the teeth to match. [[spoiler: It's subverted by his NobleDemon tendencies and his eventual HeelFaceTurn, though.]]

* In ''Anime/WolfsRain'', the wolves' fangs don't mean they're evil (being the main characters, they're portrayed very sympathetically), but it ''certainly'' means they're dangerous. The wolves are realistically drawn, and on top of that, the animators added wolf growls/snarls at the appropriate times.

* Played straight in ''Manga/DragonBall'' with Piccolo.
** In the second series, ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', this was subverted with both [[HeelFaceTurn Piccolo himself]] and the introduction of his race, the Namekians. Despite even having the aforementioned pointy ears and claw-like nails, they're mostly gentle, simple villagers - even the few warriors among them only seem to act in self-defense. Why a race of vegetarians have fangs is never explained.
*** It makes perfect sense. Gorillas, also herbivorous, have big fangs. They're used for shredding tough plant fibers.
*** Which raises another question: namely, why a species that needs only water to survive would develop to eat anything.
** Played straight with Super and Kid Buu.
* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': There's a reason why two out of the three faces selected for this [[http://img3.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/324cccfb8eeb0188606b9e0395f342f21244397044_full.jpg shot]] are fangy.
** However, it should be noted that CuteLittleFangs are also much in evidence, as they appear to be a genetic trait of [[BigScrewedUpFamily the Ushiromiyas]]. But then, at least in [[CreepyChild Maria's]] case, they aren't mutually exclusive...
* When Galvatron is resurrected as Super Megatron in ''[[Manga/TransformersZone Transformers: Return of Convoy]]'', he gains a set of fangs.
* ''Manga/ExcelSaga'': Excel Excel's [[CuteLittleFangs Cute Little Fang]] would be a double-subversion. Since her introduction in the ''Daitenjin'' manga, she's been the PerkyFemaleMinion of an EvilOverlord. Even her Angelic side has been arrested for murder.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', the homunculus Greed, who, for some reason, has shark-like teeth, is an example. [[spoiler:Kinda...while the homunculi are the antagonists for the series, Greed's also the least homicidal of the group and the only one to pull not only a HeelFaceTurn, but also a HeroicSacrifice.]]
* Johannes Krauser II, from ''Manga/DetroitMetalCity''. Krauser is actually the main character [[ShrinkingViolet Negishi's]] shocking and violent [[KayfabeMusic stage persona]], complete with an intimidating costume. The fangs always appear when Negishi puts on the costume and make up but, at least in the OVA series, it's never shown whether he puts them on as part of the costume, or if they just inexplicably grow when he takes on the role of Krauser.
* Ashley from ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName''.
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', all Dragon Slayers have fangs, the sizes of which seems to reflect the personality of the character. Shy Wendy has two pairs of little ones; exuberant Natsu has two pairs of medium sized ones, or sometimes two rows of them, if his mouth is wide open and dark; and brooding Gajeel's teeth are huge and sharp all the time.

* Both subverted ''and'' played straight in ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', and by the same character: the main character has CuteLittleFangs most of the time, but when he transforms into his AxCrazy SuperPoweredEvilSide, his fangs grow longer and get distinctly more terrifying. It makes perfect sense for Inuyasha who is half ''dog'' demon.
* 9th from ''Manga/FutureDiary'' in her more crazy and villainous moments tends to be draw with fang-looking teeth.
* AxeCrazy {{Shinigami}} Grelle Sutcliffe from ''Manga/BlackButler'' has a mouth full of [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily shark teeth]]. Just to drive the point home, she reveals them immediately after being caught red-handed [[spoiler: performing the last of the UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper murders.]]
* Shadow Link from ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords2004'' starts growing fangs and sharp fingers during his VillainousBreakdown.
* Yujiro from ''Grappler Baki''. His fangs seem to have grown since he started fighting for pleasure, and developed the demon shaped back muscles on his body.

%% * Anti-Sonic in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' after he turns into Scourge.

* The Beast’s fangs in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' are more clearly and individually drawn whenever he’s supposed to look threatening.

* Several Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon villains have prominent fang-like teeth, including the actual supernatural beings like [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]] (''all'' of his teeth are pointy) and [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], but also some evil humans like [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] (in snake form) and [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Shan-Yu]].

* ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' is interesting, because Count Orlock's fangs, rather than being his canines, are his front teeth, giving him a ratlike appearance and causing him to look far more grotesque than most vampires.
* The Headless Horseman in ''Film/SleepyHollow1999'' had [[ScaryTeeth filed teeth]] before his decapitation. (and once he gets his head back,[[note]]although the skull has normal teeth...[[/note]], he uses those fangs to plant a bloody kiss on the woman who had been controlling him)
* [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Victor Creed]]/[[Film/XMen1 Sabretooth]]. Which he pairs with his PsychoticSmirk.

* Venom naturally has sharp teeth in ''Film/SpiderMan3''. Oddly enough, Eddie Brock still has sharp teeth even when the symbiote recedes to show his face.

* ''Film/WonderWoman1984''. In their final battle, Diana sees Barbara in her [[CatGirl cheetah-like form]] for the first time and gasps, "What did you do?" Barbara's only response is to smile, showing she has fangs as well.
* The page quote, from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' refers to a creature notable for its frontal sharp teeth... [[KillerRabbit a rabbit]].

* This may be why the mostly-friendly vampires of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' are ''literally'' fangless. Subverted in that vampires who eat humans far outnumber ones who don't, and yet all vampires lack fangs. Apparently their teeth are sharp enough without being pointy.
* ''Literature/VarneyTheVampire'' was the first vampire to have fangs. Despite how bad that book is generally considered to be, fangs have caught on enough for ''{{Dracula}}'' to have them.
** Most of the vampires found in folklore around the world had a piercing tongue or mosquito-like proboscis for sucking blood. It was only in European Gothic literature of the 19th century that fangs caught on as their indispensable physical characteristic.
*** The Anzati, vampire-like aliens in the Star Wars Universe, are like the former. Except they suck brains instead of blood.
* The 'possessed' in ''Literature/TheNightsDawnTrilogy'' have the ability to shapeshift their form and often take on the appearance of monsters of legend. Several of the first ones to appear keep their appearance, but with fangs, presumably in imitation of vampires.
* The Mixitor in ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' are not real supernatural vampires, but they can still extrude venomous fangs and sink them into the neck of their prey.
* In Literature/{{Magnus}}, all the Fallen Angels have vampiric fangs to signify their evilness.

* In ''Literature/FengshenYanyi'', allmost all the evil Immortals and Taoists fighting for the Shang Dynasty are described with "fangs jutting from their lips" (which would technically make them tusks, if you want to be pedantic) and tend to be AffablyEvil but determinated to kill their opponents and their mortal friends. The sole exception is the grotesque Leizhenzi, who as part of his transformation gets a beak-like snout and tusks, but is one of the heroes.

* In ''Literature/{{Wicked}}'', Elphaba was born with a full set of sharp fangs, and it was a painful and nightmarish experience for her mother to try breastfeeding. But as she grew older, her fangs fell out and were replaced with normal teeth.
* A card played by Elves against Humans in ''Literature/TheWitcher'' Saga. Humans have canine teeth, and therefore are ''clearly'' hardly better than wild beasts. Incidentally, Elves in the Witcherverse are herbivorous.
* Every time Vlad in ''Literature/CountAndCountess'' is about to take a bite out of someone, he grins. The glimpse of artificially sharpened teeth serves as the victim's first and last warning.
* Despite [[AgentMulder Chester's]] claims about Literature/{{Bunnicula}} having fangs ([[CuteLittleFangs and cute ones, at that!]]), [[SubvertedTrope this trope is subverted]].

* In the Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath, those Randir personally bound (i.e., loyal and magically sworn) to their house's EvilMatriarch Rawneth file their teeth to sharp points.
* In ''Literature/{{Watersong}}'', even in human form, the sirens' teeth are elongated into fangs, hinting at their carnivorous nature.

* Attempted, to complete failure, with the Ferengi on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. The Ferengi sharpen all their teeth regularly, but somehow still look goofy.

* In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' (and quite a few other fantasy works), sharp teeth are standard-issue for evil humanoids--[[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears]], [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orcs]], [[TheOgre ogres]], [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], etc.
* Averted in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' by the [[Literature/SpaceWolf Space Wolves]], an army of {{Boisterous Bruiser}}s who are about as close to good guys as the setting gets and are notable for having elongated canines. Since these grow longer as the Wolves get older, their veterans are even known as Long Fangs.
** Also averted by the Blood Angels, who have fangs as part of their vampire motif and are also among the nobler SpaceMarine chapters. Unless they hit the [[UnstoppableRage Black Rage]], in which case things can get... ugly.

* As of patch 3.0, Night Elves in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' have fangs to show off their feral nature. And Orcs and Trolls have ''tusks''.

* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' has a weird variation on this trope. This is one of the reasons [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves tend to look down on humans.]] Elves in the Witcherverse have no canine teeth, while humans do. So, ''clearly'' humans are just savage beasts in many of their minds; they even have fangs!
* In ''[[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Ace Attorney Investigations]]'', the Interpol agent Shi-Lang has sharp fangs to compliment his wolflike nature. He hates prosecutors, arrests people for little to no reason, and is a bit of a jerk to Edgeworth. However, he is presented sympathetically [[spoiler: and even provides a BigDamnHeroes moment when he gets Alba's diplomatic immunity revoked.]]

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'''s Baraka and Mileena! Baraka, as well as the rest of the [[http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Tarkata Tarkatans]], could send a shark running with a single grin. Mileena, a half-human, half Tarkatan EvilTwin of Kitana, inherits the hardware, though she keeps it hidden behind a veil.
* Averted in the third installment of ''VideoGame/StarControl'' by the menacing but ultimately honourable Harika.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': Though it's not clear in the game itself, official artworks often depict Ganon having a mouth full of sharp teeth along with tusks.
* [[MonsterClown Needles "Sweet Tooth" Kane]] has these in ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal: Head On'' as a part of his ExpressiveMask. In his ending [[spoiler:[[MorphicResonance Calypso's teeth become sharp]] when Needles does a FreakyFridayFlip with him]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}}'' series has this in spades. In [[VideoGame/{{UnrealI}} the first game]], two of the three big time enemy alien species, the Skaarj and their bio-engineered heavy assault units, the Brutes, have tusks protruding from their lower jaws (the Skaarj's are particularly large). The only other mook species that fits their bill, the Krall, have quite a nasty set of them by the time ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' rolls by.
* The monsters of ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'' tend to have these. Averted with the Goliath whose teeth are actually blunt and peg-like, but still look jagged and vicious.
* In ''VideoGame/TwoDark'', Doggy Doug's mouth is full of steel sharp teeth.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', this is part of [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius']] PaintItBlack switch after that character [[spoiler:accepts a DealWithTheDevil.]]
** The Always Evil [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblinoids]] of this 'verse have fangs AND tusks. Eat your heart out.
* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': In a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], most of the time Florence doesn't show teeth, even when talking, but when [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff100/fv00098.htm she smiles]], people start getting awfully cooperative, for some odd reason.
* Richard of ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' seems to have fangs under that cowl of his, if the x-ray vision we were treated to by troll shamans in an early page is anything to go by.
* Yigs in ''Webcomic/TheWaterPhoenixKing'' have small fangs that protrude from the lower jaw, but despite this and other traditional Orcish attributes, they aren't any more Evil than humans or other races in this setting.

* ''Webcomic/GhostsOfTheFuture'''s resident evil AI, Nicole, sports a pretty savage pair of chompers, much more noticeable than her original appearance in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''.
* Daniel in ''Webcomic/UnDivine'' is growing fangs as part of his transformation into some sort of demon.
* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Murkoph, a serial rapist, murderer and cannibal, has a set of fangs that makes him look vaguely like a vampire. Due to his [[HealingFactor physical nature]] he was able to replace his originals with a set he pried out of a dog.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', when Pandora's evil side comes to the fore she [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2007-01-10 often]] [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2009-11-11 sports]] [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-07-05 fangs]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'':
** Scourge was ''supposed'' to have fangs, if one of the early scripts of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' is any indication. In some scenes in the Season 3 episode ''The Burden Hardest To Bear", it does look like he has fangs, especially when Broadside is holding him.
** Ravage, on the other hand, has always been shown as having fangs. He ''is'' a robotic panther, after all.
%%ZCE%%* The ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' version of Megatron invokes this.
* Vlad Plasmius and Dark Danny (Dan Phantom) in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.

* Yuck from ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'', too.

* Discussed in a sort of FantasticRacism sense in ''{{WesternAnimation/ReBoot}}''; [[PlayfulHacker Mouse]] is suspected of several abductions in one episode, and another character denies that it has anything to do with the fact that she's got fangs.
** Megabyte and Hexadecimal also have fangs. Megabyte's fangs are hard to notice until he drops his FauxAffablyEvil persona and starts acting like the vicious predator he is. Hexadecimal's fangs only appear when she switches to her NightmareFace.
* These, along with every other part of his look, make Machestro from ''WesternAnimation/Xyber9NewDawn'' seem rather cat-like.
* [[MadeOfEvil Aku]] of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' fits this trope to a T.
** The Minions of Set as well. At first it looks like they don't even have mouths, until one of them decides to open theirs revealing they actually have ''[[http://i.imgur.com/at2vIU4.jpg huge]]'' mouths that contain nothing ''but'' fangs.

* ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'': [[PunnyName NOS-4-A2]] and [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting Wirewolf]]. Since they're an energy vampire and robot-devouring werewolf, respectively, this obviously makes some sense.

* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' with Wildcat and B'wana Beast, whose fangs are too big to be CuteLittleFangs but who are definitely good guys.
* First played straight, then subverted on ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. Marceline and the Ice King both have fangs, but Marceline is only a villain for one episode before becoming friends with the main characters. The Ice King, meanwhile, [[spoiler: is eventually revealed to have been a human antiquarian who had his mind warped by an ArtifactOfDoom. So he turns out to be more misguided and oblivious than evil, and we later see that he had the fangs even when he was more [[FallenHero unambiguously good.]]]]
* Corvax, the green-skinned goblinoid EvilChancellor from ''WesternAnimation/MuzzyInGondoland'', has a set of sharp, pointy teeth.
* [[WesternAnimation/BraveStarr Thunderstick.]] It severely laps into CuteLittleFangs...ehm, YOU tell him that. (Interestingly, no image of Vipra with snake fangs could be found.)
* Flippy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' switches from the show-standard buckteeth to a fanged SlasherSmile whenever he goes into [[JekyllAndHyde evil mode]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Mr. Cat, the main villain of the show, has fangs. It's pretty much justified because he's a cat.
* The season one finale of ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'', "To Sheep, Perchance to Dream", has Sheep depicted with fangs in the episode's twist ending of [[EvilAllAlong actually being the bad guy the whole time]] (which was disregarded in the show's second season).
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Some of the villainous gems fit the bill, most notably Malachite (who is an unholy fusion between Jasper and Lapis Lazuli) and Emerald, as well as Sugilite, who may be a fusion of heroic characters but is rather violent and destructive. Also averted with Alexandrite, whose [[TooManyMouths second mouth]] is full of sharp teeth, but is a fusion of the heroic Crystal Gems and is firmly on the side of good.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', Hordak sports a mouthful of crimson teeth with fangs. His sidekick [[spoiler: and possibly clone]] Imp also sports a [[CuteLittleFangs set of fangs]].
* The Penguin from the 2004-2008 series, ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', as well as its 2005 film, ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'' has a wide grin with razor-sharp teeth. He doesn't shy away from the occasional NightmareFace or SlasherSmile, either...
* The title character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangface}}'' is an aversion, a heroic werewolf with one comically large triangular fang in the front of his face. A few of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]] had fangs, however, such as the giant [[SnakesAreSinister cobra]] featured in the episode "Don't Get Mean With The Cobra Queen".

** Also averted by the Blood Angels, who have fangs as part of their vampire motif and are also among the nobler SpaceMarine chapters. Unless they hit the [[UnstoppableRage Black Rage]], in which case things can get...[[KillEmAll ugly]].

** And then played straight with the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranids]].
** And the [[DarkIsEvil Night Lords]], particularly their Primarch [[TheCowl Konrad Curze]]
** Invoked by the Dark Elves in the Fantazy setting, who don't have fangs naturally, but sometimes file their teeth to points as a fashion statement.

* The Zombies from ''Literature/ZombieBlondes'', have mouths filled with needle-like fangs.

* Taken to its logical conclusion by Hiruma of ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'': ''All'' of his teeth are fangly, they're visible pretty much any time he opens his mouth (which is often), and when you see them, [[CheshireCatGrin he's definitely being a dangerous trickster.]]

* The [[AlwaysChaoticEvil less morally righteous]] folk and many non-human creatures of the ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}'' series usually have more intimidating fangs than [[CuteLittleFangs the usual endearing variety]]. The half-demon half-dragon Valgaav has the most menacing fangs, while the affable demonic priest Xellos has a smaller, but no less scary set. Creatures such as trolls and werewolves also have fangs.

* In ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', every vampire is shown to have a full mouth of razor-sharp teeth. This trope is often [[CuteLittleFangs subverted]] with Seras, but she later subverts it as well when [[spoiler:she drinks Pip Bernadotte's blood, becoming a full vampire.]]

* ''[[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Wonder Woman 600]]'': The Ivan Reis, Oclair Albert and Rod Reis collaboration depicts Medusa with long fangs, which she's still barring and snapping after her head is cut off.

* This may be why the mostly-friendly vampires of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' are ''literally'' fangless.
** Subverted in that vampires that eat humans far outnumber ones that don't, and yet all vampires lack fangs.

** Most of the vampires found in folklore around the world had a piercing tongue or mosquito-like proboscis for sucking blood. It was only in European Gothic literature of the 19th century that fangs caught on as their indispensible physical characteristic.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. The phrase "Well, ''duh''" would appear to be indicated on this one.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersGeneration1'':

* It is completely inverted with the [[FishPeople hydrites]] from the German SF series ''Literature/{{Maddrax}}''. Although they have dangerous-looking teeth, they are a species of peaceful herbivores.
* {{Literature/Wulfrik}} was born with a mouth full of wolflike fangs instead of teeth, marking him as chosen by the Ruinous Powers (chosen meaning he eventually became a HeroKiller as the High Executioner of Chaos). He can bite through iron with them, and it doesn't seem to affect his diction in any way.

* In a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], most of the time [[Webcomic/{{Freefall}} Florence Ambrose]] doesn't show teeth, even when talking, but when [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff100/fv00098.htm she smiles]], people start getting awfully cooperative, for some odd reason.

* The Headless Horseman in ''Film/SleepyHollow1999'' has filed teeth. (ItMakesSenseInContext; despite being ''headless'' for most of the movie, he does eventually get his head back, complete with pointed teeth).

** The ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' version of Megatron invokes this.
* Vlad Plasmius and Dark Danny (Dan Phantom) in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' both qualify.

* Spider-Man villains ComicBook/{{Venom}}, Carnage, and the other evil symbiotes. Generally, when a symbiote possesses someone good, there's no mouth, but when it possesses someone bad, there's a mouth full of fangs. Toxin is a neat example. When the host is in control, there are no fangs. When the host lets the symbiote take over, it gets fangs. Similiar with Flash Thompson as Venom - his default mode has no mouth, but fangs tends to appear when he is losing control to the symbiote.
* Some depictions of the Penguin give him these.

"[[ShoutOut Here's Ozzy!]]"

* ''Film/WonderWoman1984''. In their final battle, Diana sees that Barbara in her [[CatGirl cheetah-like form]] for the first time and gasps, "What did you do?" Barbara's only response is to smile, showing she has fangs as well.

* Lower caste orcs from ''Webcomic/FairyDust'' have their tusks ripped out to make their low status visible. The adult males who still have their tusks can be assumed to be combattive enough to maintain their high position.
