If they hold no relation to wampas, then why are they called desert wampas?

TusksEdit

I'm wondering where this tidbit comes from,no depiction of the wampa I've seen featured tusks though they has sharp canine teeth they did not protrude from their mouths. Was that a mistaken identification of their horns? Sochwa 09:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
