Leaders: Rend Blackhand and Maim Blackhand

The Black Tooth Grin Clan was originally part of the Blackrock Clan but after Blackhand was deposed as Warchief, his sons Ability gouge [Rend] and Maim sought to establish their own power base within the Horde. During the Second War, the Black Tooth Grin was responsible for guarding the Dark Portal and fought on the front lines during the campaign for Khaz Modan. The clan receives its name from the tradition that every recruit must knock out one of their own teeth to show their loyalty.Template:Cite

Note: In the original "Lord of the Clans" video game, Rend and Maim were going to be the ones who assassinated Thrall's parents on the orders of Gul'Dan. However, the names of the assassins were not stated in the novel, and whether Rend and Maim had any role in it has been unconfirmed.

Trivia

"Black Tooth Grin" was also a phrase sang by Dave Mustaine in a song for the popular metal band Megadeth. The phrase became popular after Pantera guitarist and prodigy "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott created an alcoholic drink named the "Black Tooth Grin" and even tattooed the phrase on his leg. The drink consists of a double shot whiskey (most commonly Crown Royal) and a splash of cola (enough to darken the whiskey to almost black, and a subtle flavoring).
