'''Poison''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. It is obtained by swallowing [[Venog]], or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Miasmoros]]. When acquiring this ability, Kirby obtains a skull-adorned headband, with poisonous fluid spewing out the top, similar to other fluid-based hats.

'''Poison''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that has so far appeared exclusively in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. It is obtained by swallowing a [[Venog]] enemy, a [[Dakuga]] enemy, or the [[Miasmoros]] [[Mid-Boss]] after defeating it. When acquiring this ability, Kirby obtains a skull-adorned headband, with poisonous fluid spewing out the top, similar to other fluid-based hats. The rim of the headband has a color pattern very similar to that of [[wikipedia:Coral snake|coral snake]]s, which are known for their dangerous venom.


The attacks Kirby gains with this ability are also similar to the [[Water]] ability. However, enemies hit with this attack are continually damaged for a period of time. Among the attacks are simple spewing moves, a geyser-type move, a surfing move that leaves puddles of poison on the ground and allows Kirby to glide over water, a [[Cutter]]-like series of punches involving poison, and exhaling clouds of toxic gas. The gas clouds in particular linger for a good while, and can be pushed by wind currents in some stages.

*The Poison ability's design was inspired by a polluted version of the [[Water]] ability.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'', June 2016 Issue, p.21</ref>
[[Category:Copy Abilities]]
*In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', there was a scrapped [https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Kirby_Super_Star Flower ability] that planted flowers on enemies' heads, which apparently would have poisoned them (similar to the [[smashwiki:Lip's Stick|Lip's Stick]] item in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]). This idea of poisoning enemies would be used later for the Poison ability.
*Interestingly, one of the early concept art pieces for Poison Kirby (in gallery below) greatly resembles the final design of [[Beam Mage]] Kirby in the [[Team Kirby Clash]] games.
*Poison is the only [[Copy Ability]] introduced in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' that hasn't appeared in later titles since.
**[[Doctor]] appears in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'' (as [[Doctor Healmore]]) and ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''.
**[[ESP]] appears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

This is a rather dangerous ability for all life-forms, organic and otherwise. It can be used to attack enemies with a corrosive liquid that contains damaging substances.
— Kirby: Planet Robobot pause caption (American English)

Poison is a Copy Ability that has so far appeared exclusively in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is obtained by swallowing a Venog enemy, a Dakuga enemy, or the Miasmoros Mid-Boss after defeating it. When acquiring this ability, Kirby obtains a skull-adorned headband, with poisonous fluid spewing out the top, similar to other fluid-based hats. The rim of the headband has a color pattern very similar to that of coral snakes, which are known for their dangerous venom.

The attacks Kirby gains with the Poison ability are similar to the Water ability. However, enemies hit with this attack are continually damaged for a period of time. Among the attacks are simple spewing moves, a geyser-type move, a surfing move that leaves puddles of poison on the ground and allows Kirby to glide over water, a Final Cutter-like series of punches involving poison, and exhaling clouds of toxic gas. The gas clouds in particular linger for a good while, and can be pushed by wind currents in some stages. Like the Water ability, all attacks from Poison can put out Flame Blocks.
