'''Ten Thousand Teeth''' is a legendary monster known to reside and hunt deep withing the Prickfinger Wastes. Known to have been a bane to many a Monster-Hunter or Eradicator of the Department of Menace Eradication. It masks its presence succesfully in it's natural habitat often springing on unsuspecting prey despite it's 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 striving on the remains of whatever the Ten Thousand Teeth consumed. <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> A surprising discovery made by an unlucky victim that got engulfed by the Ten Thousand Teeth's maw is that it seems to be alergic/irritated by Peligin Snuff as having been covered in it resulted in the Maw spitting the victim out. | |||
