Sharp fangs are some of the earliest crafting materials you’ll need in Monster Hunter Wilds, but they don’t come from any of the larger monsters in the game. Instead, you’ll need to hunt some smaller wildlife if you want to build the Talioth Vambraces or pieces of the Chatacabra set.

In this Monster Hunter Wilds guide, we’ll teach you where you can find a sharp fang in the Windward Plains map and what you can build with it.

How to get a sharp fang in Monster Hunter Wilds

There are several low-rank monsters that drop sharp fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds, although by the time you get to areas outside of the Windward Plains, you won’t need them as much.

Here are the monsters we’ve been able to confirm drop sharp fangs:

Gajios (Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest)
Talioth (Windward Plains)
Piragill (Scarlet Forest)
Kranodath (Oilwell Basin)

The Gajios are very easy to find early in the game, so we’ll focus on them (although the other monsters will appear on your map as little pink diamonds, so you can track them that way if you’re in another area).

Gajios are part-crocodile, part sawfish creatures that hang out in the rivers of the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest. Sharp fangs are also the only items in their low-rank loot pool, so you’re guaranteed to get one when you kill a Gajios. Look for them in the rivers of Area 8 and 10 in the Windward Plains and you should find several.

What can you craft with sharp fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds?

There are two early armor pieces that you’re likely looking into crafting if you’re hunting for sharp fangs, the Talioth Vambraces and the Chatacabra Coil.

Both of these are low-rarity pieces that will give you a modest bump to your defense ahead of some of the more challenging monsters in Chapter 1 of the main story. The Chatacabra Coil specifically comes with some water resistance, which will be helpful when facing a Balahara in the Windward Plains or the most difficult fight in Chapter 1, the apex beast of the Scarlet Forest.

Once you have the sharp fang, you’ll need a Chatacabra Certificate (which you should have from the first story mission), as well as two Chatacabra Scales and a Chatacabra Jaw to build the Chatacabra Coil, the later of which you can get by breaking a Chatacabra’s face in te middle of a hung.
