It’s interesting how long fangs pointing up denote “demon” while long top-down fangs suggest vampire. When you think about the demon-type creatures in popular culture they tend to have bottom fangs. I wonder why. Is it just to distinguish the vampire look from the demon look? Or is it because bottom fangs suggest more ripping and less piercing? Or is it rooted in some famous artistic representation of demons I don’t know about?
