One that has fangs or one that displays fangs; an animal or creature possessing prominent fangs.
From fang (Old English) plus the agent noun suffix -er, creating 'one that has or displays fangs.'
A 'fanger' is more poetic than 'fanged animal'—it suggests something actively using or showing its fangs, like a vampire in folklore or a cobra in defensive posture.
