Is the longtooth shifter bite attack made with proficiency?  I would assume yes, but I'm not really sure what the explicit rules justification would be.

 

EDIT:  Edited the title to make the referent a bit more clear.

A shifter is proficient with his natural weapons, so yes he will get proficiency on his bite attack.

okay so here is what I have, first in monster manual it states to assume that all monsters are proficient with the equipment they are presented with. 

This means that all creatures in the monster manual with natural weapons are automatically proficient with these weapons.

Second in the eberron shifter write up it does not state they are not proficient, but what is really important is what is said in the druid wild shape ability it mentions nothing about a change in weapon proficiency the druid does not specificially have such a proficiency but in combat the druid while wild shaped will have proficiency.  (although it specifically mentions you getting both your skill, and save proficiencies and those of the monster. )

 

I know some others have posted on natural attacks but all that can be found by them is that creatures with Natural weapons are proficient in them. Although  outside of the monster manual I can't find something that directly say that.

It would be silly to play that a shifter wasn't proficient in their natural weapons.

What are longtooth shifters in? I'm vaguely trying to work out which supplements are worth getting.
