Thresher shark beans AKA mouse beans haha

Got some northeaster beans doing this.
I think they got very dry as these developed. Could that be the cause? Something else?
Thanks

Looks like alligator beans.

Maybe thrips or poor pollination? The bean pod looks healthy and green.

My pole bean plants usually number in the hundreds each year. Since only a tiny amount of pods will look like that, I don't worry about what causes it.
