Deity's Weapon - Fangs

So I have a Dhampyr Warpriest with Fangs. Is there a deity with a Deity's Weapon this would work with this?

There are quite a few deities with Jaws as a Deity Weapon, the most fitting one for a PC probably being Apsu.

Nalinivati and Ydajisk could also work, since both have follower alignments that wouldn't be too disruptive in a normal party, and have reasonable edicts and anathema.

Except the way I am reading it, Jaws and Fangs are two separate types of unarmed attacks, just like Fist and Claws would be different even though they both use your hands.

That's the way I see it too. This would also prevent followers of Irori from gaining their favored weapon bonus on special Stance strike like Wolf Jaw or Tiger Slash.

On the other hand, Archives of Nethys links all natural attacks together, and all deities with "Jaws" as their favored weapon also have a separate weapon as well.

Also of note, there are three Vampires in the bestiary and none of them have fang attacks, nor does the Vampire template add it. Honestly it should have given you a Claw attack and eventually the Drink Blood action instead.

"Fangs" is a Heritage Feat for Dhampir in 2E.

Yes I know... I was just pointing out that True Vampires don't use their fangs to fight with. It's strange that a Damphir would use their fangs when full vampires use claws. The last line of my post was referencing the feat, and how it should have given a Claw attack, since that's more in line with the natural attacks a Vampire has.
