This type of Tirobhava oath idealizes thorns and their way of acting as defense while inflicting damage. It associates weapons with thorns and thirsts for the blood they can spill, so favors those that swear to spill blood with its power, particularly if they do so to defend something else. Intangible in creation, this oath incorporates itself into or onto weapons in some way in the Wyld, such as a sword pommel or the gold engraving on a spear blade.

Evil dragons use dvontoi created from black dragon teeth as raiders, pirates, hunters and shock troops. Physical and sturdy, black dvontoi tend towards physical classes, such as fighters, rangers, cavaliers or rogues and are always chaotic evil.

The oathtaker ignores the multiple action penalties on her first five actions in a turn. She may also spend a point of gossamer to gain a reflexive parry at full Dexterity + Melee pool against an unblockable normal or ring- or sword-shaping attack, adding six bonus successes. If this ability is used to parry a shaping attack, it may parry another such attack for free in the same scene.

In Greek myth, planting dragon teeth like seeds caused warriors (the spartoí) to spring from the ground. In our version of Pathfinder, it isn't quite that simple, but a secret ritual does exist that will spawn dragon-like humanoids by sowing dragon teeth. In our Dissolution campaign, these "dragon-tooth men", the dvontoi, are implemented as a collection of monstrous races, each based on the color of dragon whose teeth were planted. These creature advance using class levels, but their size or some racial abilities may scale as hit dice increase. The dvontoi are construction using Pathfinder's race creation system, using 25 RP.
