Razor Bite
Earth
WaterDescrição
Humans can bite (and in fact, the human mouth can cause serious injuries, especially if the wound becomes infected), but most martial arts traditions in Rokugan do not teach biting as a formal technique. While it might be widely recognized as an option of last resort, it is of limited due to range constraints, risks of injury on the part of the user by exposing their mouth, and inability to penetrate even modest armor. Nonhuman entities, however, may have much bigger teeth, deadly beaks, or even venomous fangs, and all of these are incorporated into the martial arts they practice. A Naga's or nezumi's bite presents a much more credible threat to an armored opponent than a human's, as their fangs can pierce hardened materials to rend the flesh within, and many yōkai are known for stories of devouring their prey (messily or otherwise).
