AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
A radiation-discolored tooth shed by an adult Valakkar sand worm, a hand-collected animal harvestable used mainly as a turn-in material for Wikelo and as a Rayari gathering-mission objective.
What it is
The Irradiated Valakkar Fang (Adult) is a "trophy" harvestable: a single tooth shed by an adult-stage Valakkar, the giant burrowing sand worm of Star Citizen. Per the in-game item description, the valakkar continually sheds its teeth throughout its lifetime — as the animal burrows through sand and catches prey its teeth are frequently damaged, and once a replacement tooth finishes forming, the connective tissue holding the old one snaps, dropping the fang to the ground. Fangs can also be pulled from the creature's mouth after it is killed. The "Irradiated" variant is a fang that was exposed to radiation over a long period and has developed an unusual coloration. It is a Size 1 (S1) item: roughly 1 kg mass, ~0.21 x 0.05 x 0.51 m, internally composed of the "Vlk_Fang" commodity, class name `Harvestable_Trophy_1H_vlkAdultFang_irradiated`.

Gameplay use
The fang is primarily a turn-in / contract material rather than something you consume or equip. Two documented uses: - Wikelo trade material — community trackers and the player marketplace list irradiated Valakkar fangs (Juvenile / Adult / Apex) among the harvestables fed into Wikelo Emporium collection contracts to unlock his rewards. Players buy and sell them specifically "to trade with Wikelo." - Rayari Incorporated gathering mission — the mission "Gather Irradiated Valakkar Fangs" tasks players with collecting 40 irradiated fangs from radiation-exposed adult creatures in a storm and delivering them to a Rayari research outpost, granting 150 Rayari reputation. It requires Rank 2, crime stat 0-2, and the prerequisite mission "Interested in Building a Better Future?" Delivery outposts span Rayari Research Outposts (Deltana, Anvik, Kaltag, McGrath, Cantwell), HDPC-Cassillo, and Hickes Research Outpost. It is not a medical/consumable item and has no listed in-game buff effects.

Value & where to sell
There is no official in-game buy/sell terminal for this item yet — UEX reports "No locations found. Possibly not traded in-game yet." All value is from the player marketplace and is highly volatile. Recorded community listings for the Adult/irradiated fangs have ranged widely: buy requests around 1.8M-2.0M aUEC per unit/stack, a sell listing near 170K aUEC per unit, and an outlier ask at 10M aUEC. For context, the Apex grade has traded around 600K aUEC per unit (WTB) up to ~3M-6M aUEC per unit in Wikelo-focused listings. Treat all figures as snapshots that drift quickly with event cycles.
Where to harvest
Valakkar and their irradiated fangs are tied to the Pyro system. The "Storm Breaker" event runs through Pyro I (Lazarus facilities — the Lazarus Phoenix / Tithonus research labs operated by Associated Sciences & Development) and Pyro IV, where players summon and kill Valakkar to loot teeth and pearls. Irradiated fangs come from creatures that have been heavily exposed to radiation in these zones. To farm adult-grade fangs, players bring heavy weapons and work during event windows; the apex/AAA-tier drops come from the boss-stage worm summoned through the multi-step Storm Breaker chain (printing keycards, surviving radiation zones, powering the ATLS IKTI loader for the kill shot). The Rayari gathering mission instead points to gathering fangs from adult creatures during a storm before delivering them.

Source
The fang comes from the Valakkar — a species of gigantic sand worm native to Leir III in the Leir system, later an invasive species in Pyro (and Monox). It moves via overlapping plates that grip the ground (no limbs), burrows into sand for most of its life, and reportedly spits rock-hard sand at aggressors. Its teeth and pearl-like body parts are lootable.
Grades & variants
Valakkar fangs are tiered by the creature's life stage, which is the defining distinction for this item: - Juvenile — from juvenile worms (~5 m long); the entry-level, easiest-to-farm fang. - Adult (this item) — from adult worms (~15 m long); a mid-tier fang, more valuable than Juvenile, farmable by groups during events. - Apex — from the apex/boss worm (which can grow up to ~300 m); the rarest, highest-value tier, dropped only from the summoned apex Valakkar and the most demanded for Wikelo turn-ins. Each tier also has a normal and an "Irradiated" form; the irradiated form is the version exposed to long-term radiation with altered coloration. This page's item is the Adult, irradiated grade.
Effects
No consumable or medical effects are documented — this is a trade/contract harvestable, not an edible or medicinal item.

Lore
The Valakkar emerged as one of Star Citizen's first true megafauna, introduced around patch 4.1-4.2 with the Storm Breaker event. In lore, Associated Sciences & Development uses its Lazarus Phoenix and Tithonus labs on Pyro I to study irradiated Valakkar pearls, luring an apex worm using the death cries of Valakkar larvae harvested from eggs, then killing it to retrieve its pearls — the same hunts that yield the irradiated fangs. The irradiated coloration on these fangs is the visible mark of prolonged exposure in those radiation-soaked research zones.
