actualy as juvenils both species have similar dentition and therfor deliver similar bites.

however as adults nils have blut teeth built for crushing, no dought a sever bite will feel like a car door slam on your hand, probably crushing bones?

waters on the other hand have the same teeth as when young but now extra large in format, these will do nerve and tendom and muscle damage for sure, even a simple warning bite.

my opinion is based on long term captives, those suceptible to a warning or acidental bite. in witch case a nil bite is the least damageble.

for angre full blown bite both species are very dangerous and capable of amputation.

also nils are easy to read as they display alot more then waters.
