Line 37:
* ''[[Hanako and The Terror of Allegory]]'' gives us the Slit-Mouth Woman. Although she has a fairly normal tooth-to-mouth ratio, she's got [[Nightmare Face|quite a bit of mouth]].
* Ratman of...well, ''[[Ratman (Manga)|Ratman]]'' does this when he gets angry or excited. Normally, he can function fine with his mouth closed, and it looks just like a helmet. But when he opens it for whatever reason, its enough to give one of his friends recurring nightmares.
* In ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]'', one of Christopher Shoulder's most distinguishing features is that his mouth is filled with what appear to be shark teeth. Combined with his [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] and [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel|archaic mode of dress]], most people assume that he's some sort of vampire.
* Hiruma in ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' and his mouth full of fangs. It's part of his [[Spikes of Villainy]] look.
 
Line 114:
* The ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' example, a spoof of the [[Alien (Film)|Xenomorphs]].
* The ''[[Beetleborgs]]'' episode Buggin Out featured a gnat-like monster named Kombat Gnat who had several teeth like this and the power to shrink. This particular episode was a satire of David Cronenberg's remake of ''The Fly''. Flabber brings a drawing of a teleportation device to life and he tests it out. Kombat Gnat flies into the machine and their dna gets merged. This causes Flabber to slowly turn into Kombat Gnat -- starting out with cute little vampiric fangs, then developing antennae and a row of razor sharp teeth like this.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''
** Prisoner Zero had a lamprey-like mouth in its natural form. And these teeth are sometimes visible in its human mouths.
** The vampires in "Vampires in Venice".
Line 158:
* The Legion of Everblight from ''Hordes'' in the ''[[Iron Kingdoms]]'' setting. It has warbeasts with no eyes, ears or noses. Just mouths full of large, sharp teeth.
* One adventure for [[Paranoia]] had a table of descriptions for the various robots. For the Doberbot, the entry first lists the weapon, 16" long teeth, then under description: "You don't know, all you see are the teeth."
** Was a possible [[Shout -Out]] to [[Heavy Metal (Animation)|the monster in the Den segment of Heavy Metal.]]
* In the [[Scarred Lands]], one of the fallen titans was Gaurak the Glutton - an obese and monstrously ravenous deity who was said to have devoured everything on the once verdant moon. After his defeat by the titan's children, the gods, every one of his hundreds of teeth were pulled out and thrown across the destroyed world, taking on the form of mountains, obelisks, and trees which currenlty taint the surrounding land.
 
Line 242:
* Lampreys have a sucker that is full of sharp teeth. And they use it to latch on to a fish, so they can suck on its blood, until said fish dies.
* Moray eels have a second "Pharyngeal jaw" that is essentially a real-life Xenomorph inner mouth. [http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/09/06/moray_jaws.gif\].
* While it's not the same structurally, the extinct lobopod [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opabinia |''Opabinia regalis'']] has a mouth "under its chin" - and a tubular proboscis ''thing'' tipped with claws that extends from the front of its head and looks an awful lot like a pair of jaws on a trunk.
* Goblin Shark also have a Xenomorph jaw that extends out to grab hold of prey. They seem [[Ugly Cute]] and harmless, with their huge duck-billed nose, until -- ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh_HUIJkRzU oh the horror!]'' Mostly found in the waters of [[Giant Enemy Crab|ancient Japan]].
** Just in case you were wondering, that's ''not'' a joke. They're found in the waters of Japan and although they aren't very common in the modern day, it's believed they were once more numerous.
* Tapeworms use their "[http://curezone.com/ig/i.asp?i=1359 hooks]" to grasp the intestines of potential hosts.
* Opossums have more teeth than any other land mammal; 50 teeth in something that size [http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/gallery/opossum021.jpg is really saying something].
* The [[Real Life]] kings of the trope though, are snails, who have several ''thousand'' [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radula |pairs of teeth]]. Terrifying, no?
* For some of the biggest non-tusk teeth in the world, see [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_melvillei:Leviathan melvillei|Leviathan melvillei]] -- a whale with a mouthful of [http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/6/30/1277901299026/Artists-impression-of-gia-002.jpg very big teeth]
