How would you describe this shape?
I am trying to describe this weapon from a video game (Daggertail from Prince of Persia : Two Thrones). However, I am not sure how to describe the shape of the links which make up the daggertail (not the end). The closest fitting description that I could find is "Serrated metal links" which does not seem adequate. Would anyone of you be able to help give a more proper description of the individual link ?

Try typing "wing shaped" into Google Images. Meanwhile, voting to close.

They look a bit “bat-shaped” to me.

This is probably going to get closed as opinion-based. One suggestion would be "like razor wire".

The whole Daggertail is evocative of a dragons tail complete with serpentine barbs.
Thus you can conjure with those words,
The links produce a metallic serpentine barbed chain.
OR you could describe them as toothed
Deadly due to the double sided dragons teeth barbs each metallic link is a
weapon in its own right.
