Skill Overview
Entry Last Update: January 31, 2026
Description: The ability to do measurable damage in combat with teeth or mandibles.
Who Can Learn It: Arachnians, Monitanians, 3rd stage-and-higher dragons, Wyverns
What It is Supposed to Do: Strike a target with mandibles or a mouth full of sharp teeth.
What it Does: If successful, the target will be struck with the user's bite attack. Higher levels will do significantly more damage, and may cause deep bleeding wounds.
Activation: bite <target>
Usefulness (Low Levels): Lots of misses, and lots of fatigue drain. Practice on weak targets.
Usefulness (Mid-Levels): You are starting to hit more consistently, and now and then you cause a deep bleeding wound. Fatigue drain has improved.
Usefulness (High Levels): Your teeth (or mandibles) mean business. Your bite attacks regularly cause deep, bleeding wounds. Fatigue drain is minimized.
How to Practice: Bite something. Keep biting until it stops moving. Repeat.
Tips: This skill pairs well with shield and parry skills, as you can wield a shield or other offhand item and it won't keep you from biting. If you have access to a vigor spell, you'll get a lot of practice with your magic skills (especially in the lower levels). If you don't have magic, keep lots of vigor potions on hand to keep your stamina up.
