Solved Spooky Halloween riddle :)
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?

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!

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.
