Venom is a recurring status ailment in the Final Fantasy series. It appears as both weaker and stronger forms of the Poison status depending on the game.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Final Fantasy II

Venom removes HP from the afflicted character in each turn similar to Poison, however it does not last after battle and there is a chance of recovery at the end of every turn. Venom can be cured by the White Magic spell Basuna at any level.

[edit] Final Fantasy IX

The character is affected by strong poison and cannot take action, while HP and MP both periodically decrease. It is characterized by green and purple bubbles coming from the character, and a bottle symbol in the status windows. Unlike the similar conditions Poison or Stop, Venom does not wear off, and ultimately, will result in a Game Over if the only character(s) left are afflicted.

The effect can be removed by using an Antidote or Remedy, or with the spell Panacea, and can be prevented altogether with the Antibody Support Ability.
