The cuspids of a Loth-cat. Like most teeth, these are composed of a hard external coat of enamel around a bonelike inner core with a soft, pulpy center. Tapering to a sharp point, the Loth-cat uses these fangs to pierce the flesh and grip its prey during a capture. The length of these teeth inflicts deep wounds that kill the quarry and also help to tear the food during consumption. The Loth-cat also uses these teeth as a weapon of defense and a tool for grooming. Some cultures consider Loth-cat Teeth to be symbolic of the hunter, decorating objects with them and also incorporating them into jewelry and ceremonies. Thus supplying artisans with these gruesome canines has developed into a modest market, and many shopkeepers will pay hunters for them. In areas where the wild Loth-cat population has grown unmanageable, pest exterminators collect the teeth as proof of their industry.
