Tooth Faerys
In most spheres of existence, 'tooth fairies' are diminutive women who don evening gowns to horde mouth refuse. Although the Tumultiverse version also get their name from their link with teeth, it's more what they can do with their own than what they do to other people's.

| Tooth Faery by Zuza Gruzlewska |
Every gnasher in a tooth faery's head can spin around like a drill bit. This makes them great for grinding things up. Even better, the tiny faer can invert their faces, allowing them to act as buzz saws.
You'll find tooth faerys popping up in many areas of society. Trap several of them in a glass box, for example, and you've got yourself a shredder. Keep one in your toolkit and you've got a ready-to-go cutting thing. Perhaps the most disturbing use, however, comes from dentists.
Because that's right.
If you visit a dentist in the Tumultiverse, you may end up with a faery using its spinning teeth to drill your own mouldy molars. On the plus side, however, the laughing gas comes from a creature that looks like a tiny, pink elephant. And honestly - who wouldn't want to get gassed happy by a weird, magickal drug-trunk?

Tooth Faery Facts
- Your average tooth faery goes through a hundred teeth every year. Their teeth don't actually wear down - they just like spitting them at people because they're horrible.
- Tooth faerys require comprehensive enchantments to prevent them flying off and chewing things. As modern life is garbage, you can quite easily find one without these protections, obviously - primarily because the unimpeded chewing works out great for people who sell things.
- Their teeth are so hard that tooth faerys can cut through diamond. You'll often find them doing this despite their employer screaming, "No! My diamonds!"

Creation Notes
Tooth faerys got a very brief mention in The Quest Factor when I mentioned a shredder and had to work out how one would shred in the Tumultiverse. I think possibly I removed that bit? I don't have the book to hand!
I always liked the design I did for the tooth faerys, anyway, so they've since popped up in Game of Plagues. Probably they'll pop up again. They definitely seem like the sort of things that pop up unexpectedly.
