Fists occupied? Feet unavailable? Thirty-two weapons are still available: the teeth!
 
This trope is about biting someone in combat. Biting is typically a desperate last resort employed when limbs are pinned. However, it is a move that can turn the tables in an instant. The true [[Combat Pragmatist]] will bite anytime he fancies: an unexpected bite to the throat can take a foe down quickly. That kind of savagery can also be a sign of being [[Raised Byby AnimalsWolves]], or being outright [[Ax Crazy]]. Strangely, despite the brutal nature of the attack, there are far more heroic examples than villainous.
 
A bite can result in some of the worst flesh damage a character can do to another, without a weapon. Most other unarmed attacks depend on blunt force. Expect the bitee to react with pain, shock and horror. As this is a trope about pragmatism, humans and other organisms not expected to bite should only be listed. No dogs, no vampires, ect.
