Poison Tooth ◆ (poison) Requirements The krooth damaged a creature with its jaws on its most recent action this turn;

Effect The krooth snaps off one of its teeth in the creature it hit. The creature takes 1d6 persistent bleed damage and is Drained 1. Neither can be healed while the tooth remains.

Removing the tooth safely requires a successful DC 26 Medicine check to Administer First Aid. Instead of ending bleeding or stabilizing, this removes the tooth and the drained condition, but it doesn't automatically end the bleed damage.
