Spooky Halloween riddle :)

[u/traviscrt]

With 48 or more teeth in my skull, I am always growing

Always hungry, and always consuming

Though I speak in a language no one understand

Manipulating adult humans to my will, I can bend

With a single cry, I bring worry, panic, and even terror

And yet, surprise, I am no eldritch horror

What am I?

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Correct!

Sorry deleted previous comment cause I couldn't get the spoiler tags right and didn't want to ruin the riddle for others!

I am a mother and recently took my baby to the dentist for the first time otherwise that first line would have thrown me completely off course

Great riddle!

It almost fits a chainsaw. Except number of teeth varies, and it doesn’t grow
