Creatures That Poison: Huge jungle toad

New page

A character that is '''poisoned''' takes health damage per round. The amount of damage caused is usually reduced per round that damage is dealt.

== Causes of Poison ==
Poison can be caused by a number of methods such as weapons specifically scripted to poison the target (there are several varieties of these), using a vial of poison to coat a mundane weapon causing poison [[flare]]s, or it can be caused by a creature, such as a viper, using a natural attack. Some creatures will poison a character when that character attempts to [[SKIN (verb)|skin]] that creatures. There are also poison needle [[trap]]s, which can be extracted via [[Lock Mastery]] and set as traps in any container. Sea-green scarab traps will also poison the unperceptive, and unskilled [[forage]]rs have a higher chance of being poisoned.

===Creatures That Poison===

*[[Black forest viper]]

*[[Cinder wasp]] (special)
*[[Cobra]]
*[[Giant fog beetle]]
*[[Giant veaba]]
*[[Hisskra chieftain]] (special)
*[[Hisskra warrior]] (special)</td><td>
*[[Huge jungle toad]]
*[[Kiramon defender]]
*[[Mammoth arachnid]]
*[[Mud wasp]] (special)
*[[Necrotic snake]]
*[[Siren lizard]]
*[[Tree viper]]</td></tr></table>

== Dissipation ==
Poison dissipates as it causes damage. For example, poison with a rate of dissipation of 5 per round that causes 60 damage per round will cause 60 damage in the first round, then 55, then 50, until the damage per round reaches 0 or less, in which the character will no longer suffer damage from the poison. Dissipation rates of 0 have been seen, which means the poison will continue to do damage until it is cured.

While poisoned, the {{boldmono|[[HEALTH (verb)|HEALTH]]}} verb will display the following:
<div {{log}}>
<font color=orange>!>health</font><br>
You have some minor cuts and bruises on your right arm, and some minor cuts and bruises on your left leg.

    Maximum Health Points: 135<br>
  Remaining Health Points: 54<br>
  You are feeling weakened.<br>
<br>
    Maximum Spirit Points: 8<br>
  Remaining Spirit Points: 8<br>
<br>
    Maximum Stamina Points: 89<br>
  Remaining Stamina Points: 79<br>
<br>
Poisoned! Taking 65 damage per round. Dissipating 5 per round.
</div>
Needless to say, this character died the next round.

== Cures of Poison ==
The spell, [[Unpoison (114)]], will instantly remove any poison, no matter how severe the poison is. However, a character that is inflicted with multiple poisons will need to have this spell cast upon them for each poison the character is suffering from.

Firethorns, the skin from a [[firethorn shoot]], will cure poison when eaten. Also, a bite of [[ochre-colored fungus]], which can be foraged for in one of [[Zul Logoth]]'s tunnels (only in the rooms with the ochre-colored fungus) will cure poison when eaten.
