This +6 unarmed combat card can only be played by champions designated as dragons. This card causes the opposing champion to discard one attached magic item, or if he has none, discard the first one attached. If the affected champion has more than one attached magic item, he gets to choose which one he has to discard. This card can be used to get rid of those nasty magic items, like Bell of Might [FR-c18] or Net of Entrapment [4th-169].
As long as Bite is played before any other magic items are added to a champion, you can be assured which one will be discarded. To be able to get to the champion with the magic item you're after, attack with a dragon like Stryck [1st-c17] who can choose her opponent from the pool. If Stryck has a lower level then her chosen opponent, you can play Bite before your opponent can do anything. This also works well with Loup-Garou [4th-236], to guarentee either a magic item is discarded or the opposing champion loses. Bite can be countered with cards such as Evade [DR-98] or Block [RR-99].
