The Grim Fang pattern takes the shape of tessellating, sharply bent lines that form a zigzag pattern when viewed in full. Breaks in the repetition are made for injuries, anatomical features and the face, each typically framed in solid streaks intended to resemble dark fangs. The face itself is covered in more delicate linework intended to resemble the coarse scales of the [[coroxodon]]. Originally painted in a mixture of [[coroxodon]] blood, sticky [[lyssla]] pulp and [[kashir resin]], the Grim Fang paint was intended to be more long-lasting than many patterns. In the modern age, more water-soluble mediums are preferred; red-brown powdered [[kashir]] tree bark is preferred in almost all civilian performances, though glowing scarlet paints are growing popular among some groups of young people. | The Grim Fang pattern takes the shape of tessellating, sharply bent lines that form a zigzag pattern when viewed in full, which is painted all over the body.
