Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Fangedadjective
Furnished with fangs or long teeth; furnished with any instruments of destruction, which can be exercised in imitation of fangs.
Etymology: from fang.
My two schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will adders fang’d,
They bear the mandate. William Shakespeare, Hamlet.Not Scythians, nor fierce Dacians, onward rush
With half the speed, nor half so swift retreat:
In chariots, fang’d with scythes, they scour the field,
Drive through our wedg’d battalions with a whirl,
And strew a dreadful harvest on the plain. Ambrose Philips, Briton.
Wikipedia
fanged
A fang is a long, pointed tooth. In mammals, a fang is a modified maxillary tooth, used for biting and tearing flesh. In snakes, it is a specialized tooth that is associated with a venom gland (see snake venom). Spiders also have external fangs, which are part of the chelicerae. Fangs are most common in carnivores or omnivores, but some herbivores, such as fruit bats, have them as well. They are generally used to hold or swiftly kill prey, such as in large cats. Omnivorous animals, such as bears, use their fangs when hunting fish or other prey, but they are not needed for consuming fruit. Some apes also have fangs, which they use for threats and fighting. However, the relatively short canines of humans are not considered to be fangs.
