The Monster Tooth is a returning item in Risk of Rain 2.

When the holder kills an enemy, a healing orb spawns where that enemy died, which heals the player for 8 HP plus an additional 2% (+2% per stack) of their maximum health when collected. The orbs last for roughly 10 seconds each, and will blink when about to expire.

Notes

• The player must approach the orbs to pick them up, although the orbs will automatically come to the player at a short distance.
• This item is much stronger on melee Survivors, since the player will always be close to the enemies they defeat.
• Obtaining 50 stacks of Monster Teeth grants 100% healing per orb. This is reduced with Rejuvenation RacksRejuvenation Rack
  Double the strength of healing.
  Heal +100% (+100% per stack) more.; having one Rack requires half as many Monster Teeth (25), having two Racks requires a third as many (17), so on and so forth.
• The Forgive Me Please45sForgive Me Please
  Throw a cursed doll that repeatedly triggers your 'On Kill' effects.
  Throw a cursed doll out that triggers any On-Kill effects you have every 1 second for 8 seconds. works well with this item, since it will spawn the orbs 8 times while in its duration. The player must take care to throw the doll somewhere nearby, though, or else the orbs will be wasted.
• Each stack increases the size of the healing orbs slightly, although this change is barely noticable at lower stack amounts

“Hey, nice duds! Where’d you grab those?”

“Oh, this old thing? I’ve been making it, actually.”

“Making it?”

“Yeah, well, I found the first tooth in one of the chests. But every time we go out on patrol, we typically run into more of those aliens. Once we take care of ‘em, I try to pick myself out a souvenir. Y’know, to add to my collection.”

“Wow, uh… Is that like, allowed? I feel like that’s not allowed.”

“Eh, what the captain doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Besides, it IS cool, right?”

“I guess so. I’ll be honest man, that’s creepy as hell… but hey, do you have any more string? I might start one of my own.”
