This mechanic was introduced in 2016. Some monsters can poison you when they hit you. This status effect typically lasts 4-6 hours, or until cured using an item. If a monster inflicts this status effect on you while you are already poisoned, the debuffs will remain the same, but the countdown on it resolving naturally will be reset.
Being poisoned causes you to feel sick and dizzy, thus making aiming and dodging more difficult. While poisoned, monsters get a +2 bonus to their attack roll against you, and you, will suffer a -2 penalty on your own attack rolls against monsters.
If a walrus defended you during the round that the poison would have been inflicted, the walrus will prevent you from being poisoned.
Medicinal Plant - Recovery from all status effects (except bleeding.) Has been available during many different years.
Stimspray - Recovery from all status effects (except bleeding.) A 2017 & 2020 item.
Antivenom - Recovery from poison only. Available in 2022, 2023, and 2026.
Hot Cuppa - Recovery from all status effects (except bleeding.) This item was only available during the Operation Audacious Phoenix Bake Sale Fundraiser, and therefore is an extremely rare collectors item. Most would not consider using it to clear their status effects because of this, but it is included here for the sake of completion.
