Toxic

//"My arrows can fly farther than its spit." -- Woody

Poison is not selective. It will harm anyone, friend or foe.

Some toxins have antidotes, or may not penetrate some kinds of defense. For example, a snake's fangs might be deflected by armor.

You may avoid the challenge of a Toxic threat if you discover its secrets or thwart its method of delivery.

A Toxic threat may:

Inadvertently harm allies, or themselves if they are not immune
Be unable to deliver its poison if you find adequate protection
Fail to harm something or someone with a natural or acquired immunity
