| Past [[Mrs Plenty's Carnival]] lies the '''Prickfinger Wastes'''. As a result of a geological anomaly, this area is littered with extremely sharp stalagmites, which have been likened to a sea of sharp knives pointing upward.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Rat-Catcher_(Story)|The Rat-Catcher (Story)|Fallen London|}} ''"Imagine a million overturned silverware drawers.

| | The would-be Vake Hunter Von Schadlinge was killed here, presumably by the [[The Vake|Vake]].<sup>[1]</sup> |
| {{Major spoiler small}}<blockquote>[[File:Bazaardoor teeth.png|thumb|Ten Thousand Teeth]]''"No false-stars — only bats and bats. You stand within their cyclone's eye, and then you see the roaring teeth..."<ref name=":0" />''</blockquote>'''Ten Thousand Teeth''' is a legendary monster known to reside and hunt deep within the Prickfinger Wastes. The bane of many a [[Monster-Hunters|Monster-Hunter]] or Eradicator of the [[The Department of Menace Eradication|Department of Menace Eradication]], it masks its presence successfully in its natural habitat, easily ambushing unsuspecting prey despite its large size.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Rat-Catcher_(Story)|The Rat-Catcher (Story)|Fallen London|}} ''""Ten-thousand teeth," it murmurs. "Thought they were a grotto. They weren't no grotto. Devoured her. Would've devoured me...""''</ref> Inside its giant maw, there seems to be a whole ecosystem that vies for the remains of Ten Thousand Teeth's latest meal.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Rat-Catcher_(Story)|The Rat-Catcher (Story)|Fallen London|}} ''"Bats hang from the cavern in droves, clustered thick as sausage links in the best butcher's shop. With every breath, ammonia invades your sinuses."''</ref> Interestingly, one would-be victim of the Teeth discovered that it is highly irritated by [[peligin]] snuff; the hapless fellow was spat out after giving the Teeth a faceful of the substance.
