A dragontooth dagger was quite simply, a dagger crafted from the tooth of a dragon. Their use was associated with the Cult of the Dragon that emerged as a threat to the Realms in the late 15th century DR.[1]
Description[]
These crudely-made weapons involved using the sharp tooth of the dragon as its blade, with a simple leather wrap around its base to form a handle.[1]
Powers[]
While not magical in nature, dragontooth daggers allowed its wielder to strike at their foes with increased accuracy. Depending on the dragon from which the tooth was extracted,[note 1] the dagger could inflict a form of elemental damage, such as the acidic destruction associated with the breath weapon of black dragons.[1]
History[]
The dragontooth dagger belonging to a senior member of the Cult of the Dragon was found at the divination pool within the Tomb of Diderius some time in the 1480s DR. It was believed to have been used as a sacrificial weapon by the cultist.[2]
Notable Owners[]

Notes[]
- ↑ While it was not explicitly stated that teeth from different dragons have different elemental associations, the phrasing of "a hit with this weapon (inflicts additional acidic damage)", suggests the use of different dragontooth dagger would inflict a different form of damage.
