Creatures using Fangs

@@ Line 6: / Line 6: @@
 Fangs are not only functional in combat but also serve broader roles in the behaviours and lore of creatures. Many predators and territorial creatures use their fangs as tools of intimidation, baring them to ward off rivals or threats without resorting to direct conflict. This behaviour is common among social animals and monsters alike, where the mere display of sharp fangs can deter challenges and establish dominance.

 The short canines of humans and most [[Demi-Human|demi-humans]] are not considered fangs. However, certain [[Goblinish (race)|goblinish]] and [[Orcish (race)|orcish]] races possess effective fangs capable of inflicting significant damage. Despite this, these humanoids generally prefer to fight with [[Weapons List|weapons]], which allow for greater damage and can be discarded or [[Critical Hits & Fumbles#Fumbles|broken]] without consequence. As a result, they typically resort to using their fangs in combat only when no weapon is available.

 Fangs are most commonly found in carnivores and omnivores, but some herbivores, such as certain species of bats, also possess them. They are primarily used to grip and kill prey quickly, as seen with large cats, whose powerful jaws enable them to hold their prey while others of their kind deliver the final blow. In omnivorous animals, such as bears, fangs are used when hunting fish or defending themselves, though they are unnecessary for consuming fruit. Some apes also have fangs, which they use primarily for intimidation or during combat.

-'''Fangs''' are a form of attack employed by some [[Animal|animals]], [[Monster|monsters]] and [[Humanoid|humanoids]] to cause [[Damage (hit points)|damage]].  Fangs are long pointed teeth used for biting and tearing flesh; in some creatures they are strong enough to break human bones.  The mouths of creatures without sharp teeth are called [[Maw (attack)|maws]]; the jaw attacks of insects are called [[Pincers (attack)|pincers]]; birds attack with a [[Beak (attack)|beak]].  Horses, among other creatures, [[Bite (attack)|bite]].

 __TOC__
-Fangs are most common in carnivores and omnivores, but some herbivores like bats have them as well.  They are generally used to grip and swiftly kill prey, such as with large cats; the strength of a creature's jaws can be tremendously powerful, enabling the creature to grip and hold on while others of its kind complete the kill.  Omnivorous animals, like bears, use their fangs when hunting fish or defending themselves, but they are not needed for consuming fruit.  Some apes have fangs, which they use in threatening and fighting.

-The short canines of humans and most demi-humans are not considered fangs, but various [[Goblinish (race)|goblinish]] and [[Orcish (race)|orcish]] races are able to bite effectively with theirs.  However, when possible, these humanoids prefer to fight with [[Weapons List|weapons]] that can cause more damage, which the humanoid can afford to [[Critical Hits & Fumbles#Fumbles|break]].  Therefore, they will only use their fangs in attack when there's no weapon available.
