Poison Is Evil	comment	In many works, when poison comes into play, it is the villain who primarily uses it, and indeed, use of poison by a character is seen as very suspect at best, and a strong sign that the character is evil at worst. Very few heroes (apart from antiheroic Combat Pragmatists) will use poison, considering it dishonest and dishonorable, and if they do use it, it's likely to be something aimed to knock people out such as tranquilizer darts rather than something deadly like arsenic or cyanide, which ties into Thou Shalt Not Kill. A notable aversion are laxatives, which are usually played for laughs and tend to be used more often by heroes. A Poisonous Person will almost always be malevolent because of this trope. It's not hard to see why poison is considered evil by many. The notion of normally life-giving food or water becoming something that can hurt or kill people, for example, terrifies us, and the use of it is quite sensibly banned in many cultures. Many rulers have fallen to poison, and just as many take precautions against it, such as employing food tasters. We often use the word "poison" figuratively to describe something destructive or corruptive, such as "poisoning someone's mind" or "poisoning the well" in a debate. Latin ("veneficus"), Greek ("pharmakeion"), Hebrew ("kashaph", "qesem") and Navajo ("â€™Ã¡ntâ€™Ä¯Ä¯hnii") all derive their words for witch(craft) from roots that have to do with poison or poisoners. Poison is seen as the most vile form of murder also because using it definitely shows mens rea, mind to murder and both intention and determination to commit a murder. Clearly, someone who uses it to commit a murder is committing intentional and premeditated murder; it's hard to argue otherwise. Poison is also considered the weapon of Dirty Cowards everywhere: using it does not require physical prowess or mental courage, and does not allow the victim a theoretical chance to defend themselves against their attacker. There may also be the matter of Trial by Combat. The conceit, particularly in French chivalric romances and their ilk, is that in such a "trial", God will guide the hand and blade of whichever one of the two is in the right. Poisoned Weapons, therefore, could be interpreted as an attempt to usurp God's judgement and authority, and/or a lack of faith in that judgement and authority always being right. The use of poison in combat, such as Poisoned Weapons, is widely seen as cheating and dirty fighting, primarily employed by cowardly villains or villainous Combat Pragmatists who care nothing about honor, only about results — usually the poison-using villain's aim is to either murder someone, gain an unfair advantage, or render someone helpless who would otherwise have wiped the floor with them in a stand-up fight. Depending on the effects of the poison in question, things can get awfully dissonant when other non-poisonous abilities exist (blinding flashes or holy power that weakens The Undead, for example) that do pretty much the same thing as what the poison does and are used quite freely by heroes to bring down their opposition. Because of this, poison's limitation to villains can sometimes take on the status of Designated Evil. The fact that poison can be used to take down a physically stronger opponent is why it is sometimes referred to as a "woman's weapon"note In terms of sheer numbers, more poisoners are male, if only because men commit the vast majority of murders in general. But in terms of percentage, the proportion of female murderers who use poison is several times larger than the proportion of male murderers who use poison., and why it's also a favored tool of villainous eunuchs. Historically, this trope is most traditional in Western Europe and its descendants — others rarely cared unless there was a breach of Sacred Hospitality or fair duel. In tropical regions hunting with poisons was widespread; in Hindu tradition, poisonous critters are just another fact of life, and cobras even revered sometimes. China didn't see poisons as something special, nor did Steppe peoplesnote for the authors of Temujin's biography the only dramatic point was in how his loyal follower did Suck Out the Poison, Russians shruggednote even the author of "The Word of Igor's Campaign", a thinly veiled anti-Horde pamphlet, offhandedly mentioned poisoned arrows once without any judgement. In the Western Hemisphere, Native Americans who use poisoned arrows and darts may be depicted as The Savage Indian, but this trope is often averted if the environment where they live is harsh enough to make such weapons necessary for survival. By the same token, this trope is ubiquitous in Medieval European Fantasy but never applied in Hungry Jungle settings, for minimum of realism and Darker and Edgier tone. See also Poisoned Weapons. This trope may contribute to Snakes Are Sinister, which frequently associates all snakes with both poison (though not all snakes are toxic, and their toxin is called "venom" because it's injected through the fangs instead of being absorbed through the skin or digestive system) and evil. Other toxic animals such as spiders, scorpions, jellyfish or toads are also often portrayed as evil, and they are often the Unpleasant Animal Counterpart to their non-toxic relatives. Note: This is not just a villain who uses poison; this is where the use of poison is seen as a villainous trait.

Not only was he clearly evil, he was as arrogant and sadistic as the higher-ranking villains. He first poisoned Rio to blackmail Shark into dueling him, and as if that weren't enough, poisoned Shark to make him weak, giving himself a clear advantage.

Poison Is Evil / int_2192aeb3	comment	In Fire Emblem, only enemies can generally use poison weapons. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is a double subversion; you can try to steal poison weapons, but they revert to iron weapons if you try to steal them. While you do have access to one weapon with a poison effect (the dark tome Jormungand), it only poisons when the enemy wields it. Subverted in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, where you can steal poison weapons — and in this case, they retain their effects under your ownership. In addition, you can pry Valaura, a poison light tome, off of Valtome's corpse in Part 4 of Radiant Dawn. Early in Radiant Dawn, Izuka urges the party to capture a nearby prison camp by dumping poison in the camp's water supply. The protagonists disapprove, claiming that not only will they lose the support of the citizenry for it, but it makes no sense from a strategic stand point (the mission is to liberate the prisoners to gain a manpower boost, which is impossible when they are dead). In Fire Emblem Fates, members of the Ninja class can use the Poison Strike ability, including not just enemy Mooks but also the playable characters Kaze, Saizo, and Kagero. Saizo can be a Jerkass, but Kagero and especially Kaze are straight-up heroic characters, despite their use of Poisoned Weapons. This skill returns in Fire Emblem Heroes, in the hands of Kaze, Saizo, Matthew (another heroic individual), and Clarisse (a villainess). Averted in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia; poison weapons are very hard to obtain, but they can be forged from randomly dropped rusted weaponry. In addition, the DLC Yasha class has a Skill/2% chance to poison any enemy it hits. Both averted and played straight in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where playable male characters who master the Dark Bishop Class learn Poison Strike, and the blacksmith is able to forge weapons into poisoned ones like the Venin Axe or Venin Sword. On the other hand, a number of enemy mooks are able to wield poisoned weapons before the player is likely to have the skill levels required to access them. This is also played straight in the case of minor antagonists Acheron and Metodey; Acheron's personal ability is Poison Strike and he is able to inflict poison on any target he hits, and Metodey wields a Venin Edge sword. Also notably averted with Claude, one of the three main Lords of the game. He experiments with poisons in his free time, jokes about tampering with the other two houses' meals before their first mock battle, and plays up his love of schemes and strategy; one of his lost items is a bottle of mild stomach poison. On the other hand, he's unambiguously heroic and even idealistic, and his ultimate goal is to break down walls between people and see a world united in peace and acceptance of one another.

Poison Is Evil / int_38c57aa2	comment	In 3rd Edition, using poison is still generally evil. Like previous editions, Poison Use as an ability (apply poisons to weapons without the risk of poisoning yourself) is found mostly in evil-only classes, though races like Warforged duplicate the effect by simply being immune to poison. A non-lethal knockout venom exists that is the exception: It has no worse side effects than "unconscious for 2d4 hours", and the books specifically mention that even paladins could use that one with little moral quandary, provided the intention is to knock someone out rather than kill them (like capturing a criminal for courts). Of course, in a fine bit of irony, it's called Drow poison and is relatively unknown on the surface — the Drow use it for live captures of slaves. Book of Exalted Deeds spells out poison that does ability damage or drain as inherently evil because it "causes undue suffering in the process of incapacitating or killing an opponent." It also introduces "ravages", which have exactly the same effect as poisons, except that they are okay because they inflict damage via the creature's evil rather than via its biological processes. Confusingly one of the listed ravages is "purified coautl venom", drawing attention to how couatls still have poisonous attacks while being Always Lawful Good. The Book of Vile Darkness introduces a few magical poisons that are literally evil, called Psychic Poison Oils, meant for use by Assassins. The Grey Guards is an order of Paladins who saw the evils of the world and gets inducted into said order, giving them, shall we say, 'loose' interpretations of the Paladin's code of conduct thus allowing them to commit acts that would normally result in losing their Paladinhood. But even they are banned from using poisons.

The Sugarbeans are famous for their cooking. Notably, Lord Vetinari and the Assassins' Guild agree with her. Poisoning food for someone else while you're out to inhume them is one thing.

The protagonists disapprove, claiming that not only will they lose the support of the citizenry for it, but it makes no sense from a strategic stand point (the mission is to liberate the prisoners to gain a manpower boost, which is impossible when they are dead).

Poison Is Evil / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: Poison and horrid drugs are common among Batman's enemies: The Joker is famous for his Joker Venom, which not only kills people but leaves them with a ghastly smile. He's also quite fond of Deadly Gas depending on the work, such as the Smylex gas favored by Jack Nicholson's Joker in Batman (1989). The Scarecrow uses a variety of chemical toxins that cause fear and otherwise alter emotions. Combining this Trope with Drugs Are Bad, Bane uses a highly addictive steroidal compound on himself which is also called Venom which, if taken too much, might as well be poison. (This was emphasized in the adaptation Batman Beyond, where years of taking the stuff reduced Bane to a helpless invalid on life support.) Poison Ivy, of course. She has altered her body to the point where she can enchant men with pheromones and slay them with a kiss. Her blood is deadly. Subverted given that she's since undergone a Hazy-Feel Turn and now usually wobbles somewhere between Anti-Villain and Anti-Hero.

Turns out it's actually a woman who did that particular poisoning. The same logic is also used to accuse the dwarf Tyrion for King Joffrey's poisoning, even though Joffrey was a bigger coward than Tyrion ever was. Oberyn Martell's tendency to poison his spears, even in duels and trials by combat, is seen as highly dishonorable, and it's mentioned right up there with his reputation as a Depraved Bisexual. While he's a Hot-Blooded jerk, he's not as evil as his reputation would imply.

His Devil Fruit, the Venom-Venom Fruit, allows him to generate poison from his body at will. While definitely an antagonist, as the Impel Down arc has Luffy breaking into the prison to rescue his brother, Magellan is also the last line of defense keeping many of the worst criminals in the One Piece worldnote plus some people on the bad side of the Government from seeing the light of day. There are also plenty of villains who aren't afraid of using poisoned weapons, including Don Krieg, Crocodile, Wanze, Duval and Hyouzou. Caesar Clown, one of the most evil characters in One Piece, uses poison gas as one of his Devil Fruit powers. He also helps supply Kaido with poison gas to use. Meanwhile, the heroic Sanji absolutely refuses to have poison put in food he's made as a matter of honor, even if it would provide a golden opportunity to take out one of the Four Emperors. Though in this case, he has a personal reason as he nearly starved to death as a kid and as such absolutely hates wasting food.

GX, and his Venom Deck was not only designed to destroy opposing monsters but weaken and hurt them first. He was a sadist. In Yu-Gi-Oh!

He first poisoned Rio to blackmail Shark into dueling him, and as if that weren't enough, poisoned Shark to make him weak, giving himself a clear advantage. (If this guy was designed with the intent to make a heartless villain, the writers succeeded, and his use of poison only helped.) In Yu-Gi-Oh!

Witch Elves, Dark Elf and Skaven Assassins, Ghouls, Crypt Horrors, Gutter Runners, Plaguebearers, Forest Goblins, some Forsaken and Chaos Champions to name but a few — virtually all of the Forces of Destruction have plentiful access to poisons; whereas of the Forces of Order, only the Lizardmen use them, only really getting a pass because they are jungle-dwellers (when one sees a blowdart, it's expected to be poisoned). Dwarfs, High Elves, Empire, Bretonnians, and even Wood Elves don't have any poisoned attacks at all.

The villain responsible used it to wipe out enemy militaries, then dispatched his general to execute the survivors on grounds of preventing the spread of disease. The poison's inventor was a medieval physician depicted as cowardly and unnatural.

One of the opponents is deemed to have cheated by using "an illegal poison". However, the first round of the tournament has the opponent start by using a poison-inflicting item without being penalized for it; while he's disqualified if you lose, the disqualification is because he tries to outright murder you after he's already been declared the winner.

Poison Is Evil / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series loves this trope. Jessie and James of Team Rocket originally started out with an Ekans/Arbok and Koffing/Weezing. Jessie later owned a Seviper and James an Amoonguss and a Mareanie. Paul, a Jerkass trainer who puts his PokÃ©mon through Training from Hell, has a Drapion, a Nidoking, and a Magmortar that knows Smog. Two of the commanders of Team Galactic, Saturn and Jupiter, have a Toxicroak and a Skuntank, respectively. In addition, the Galactic Grunts each own at least one Golbat. Hunter J's minions also have Golbat and Crobat, while J herself uses a Drapion and Ariados in battle. Inverted with Ash's Muk, however. It's a very friendly PokÃ©mon that loves giving hugs. His dependable Bulbasaur is never seen taking advantage of its type, and Brock's aloof yet effective Croagunk usually only uses its Poison Jab as a Moment Killer Running Gag when its master is in danger of making a fool of himself. (It did use it offensively on Jesse in one episode, but it was to protect the other good guys.) Also inverted with Ash's Poipole, who's mischievous but overall friendly and means no harm — when it accidentally poisons Rowlet in self-defense, it's immediately remorseful. The Naganadel Ash and friends meet later is also helpful and polite despite its scary typing (Poison/Dragon) and appearance.

Oliver goes so far as to erroneously suspect Sting for the crime. Gradually, they realize that a cat in the building was also poisoned, the night Tim Kono was shot. And later, they learn that Tim was poisoned before he was shot. Eventually, the trail leads to Charles's new girlfriend, the sociopathic Jan who is responsible for all the poisonings, though the cat was accidental. She tries to kill Charles this way, but he is rescued by Mable and Oliver.

It's tempting to count this as an inversion since he was such a vicious brute, but considering Julia goes on to condemn the heroine Hadassah to be fed to lions in the Colosseum, it's still a pretty straight example (at least until both women get better in the second book).

One of the new cardinals is not stupid, and knows the new cardinals, and likely their heirs, will be killed to secure their fortunes for the church. He takes steps to hide his fortune before he and his son die of "bad mushrooms" shortly after a dinner the Pope invited them to. The murder weapon of the second Mme de Villefort, who is greedy for her son. Valentine has wealth from not only her mother's estate, but will inherit a large amount from her father's father when he passes on. But if she goes into a convent or dies, then her wealth will pass to her father and to his other heirs -the son he has with Mme de Villefort.

Poison Is Evil / int_e04f934e	comment	Both averted and played straight in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where playable male characters who master the Dark Bishop Class learn Poison Strike, and the blacksmith is able to forge weapons into poisoned ones like the Venin Axe or Venin Sword. On the other hand, a number of enemy mooks are able to wield poisoned weapons before the player is likely to have the skill levels required to access them. This is also played straight in the case of minor antagonists Acheron and Metodey; Acheron's personal ability is Poison Strike and he is able to inflict poison on any target he hits, and Metodey wields a Venin Edge sword. Also notably averted with Claude, one of the three main Lords of the game. He experiments with poisons in his free time, jokes about tampering with the other two houses' meals before their first mock battle, and plays up his love of schemes and strategy; one of his lost items is a bottle of mild stomach poison. On the other hand, he's unambiguously heroic and even idealistic, and his ultimate goal is to break down walls between people and see a world united in peace and acceptance of one another.

Poison Is Evil / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: Most of the really unsympathetic culprits in the game are the ones who use poison. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Trials and Tribulations has the first cases of murder (and attempted murder) via poison. In chronological order, Dahlia tricks Terry Fawles into suicide via drinking poison, poisons Diego Armando for looking into her (he survives, but is left in a coma), and poisons Phoenix's cold medicine, but he doesn't have a chance to take it before Mia reveals the poison. The poisoner is also willing to kill via stabbing and electrocution when necessary, but poison is kind of their Weapon Specialization. Trials and Tribulations also has Furio Tigre and Viola Cadaverini in the third case; the former poisoned Glen Elg and the latter's creepiness is emphasized by hinting that she poisons food she serves — though Viola doesn't actually poison anyone during the investigation. The epilogue hints that she sent poisoned food to Furio Tigre to get back at him for using her as a pawn. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney: The victim of case 5 (along with his daughter) is poisoned with an extremely deadly and rare toxin called atroquinine, because he was a forger and one of his clients was paranoid that he might reveal their connection. The victim was told to use a poisoned stamp to send a letter, and his daughter (a twelve-year-old) was given poisoned nail polish knowing that she bites her nails when nervous. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Dual Destinies: Downplayed with the culprit of case 2, who drugged two people with sleeping pills so he could murder one and frame the other. The Great Ace Attorney: Played absolutely straight with Jezaille Brett, a cold-blooded killer who uses rare poisons to obfuscate investigations into her murders. Downplayed with her killer, an Anti-Villain who poisons Brett because she was racially abusing him and about to become a Karma Houdini. Averted with Olive Green, who poisons William Shamspeare with strychnine (he survives) because he got away with killing her fiancÃ©e a few years ago.
