EvilGenius' inspired fabrications

Interesting idea, making a predator's mouth even more dangerous. Could there be predators out there with a mouth full of these? Who use them offensively against other predators (a mouth full of venomous barbs)?

This is a positively darling idea and I'm ashamed i didn't think about it myself.

The sedating thing might be a little overlill though. Perhaps it could be something that not ALL fang snails have, and the majority of them would just be more or less harmless freeloaders

Perhaps, though i am considering making them 'territorial', with a maximum of a single male, and female per mouth.

Agreed, if i was to limit the venom to a certain species, it would be those who replicate canines, leave the harmlessness to the molars and the incisors. I will expand upon that thought when i next update them.

Yikes, this idea is horrifying, but in a good way. I definitely think it's original.

Kinda reminds me of an extreme version of the cleaner wrasse, a fish that lives on coral reefs and cleans out food particles from the mouths of large predatory fish, affording it free food and keeping the predators from developing oral diseases. (The predators know not to eat this fish as it does them more good alive than it would as food.)
