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.
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.

Trivia
- One of the Poison Ability's attacks - 'Poison Pummel - Toxic Swamp' - is similar in look and function to the Nonstop Cutter attack ending with Final Cutter.
- In Kirby Super Star,there was a scrapped Flower ability that planted flowers on enemy's heads, which apparently would have poisoned them. (Similar to Lip's Stick item in the Super Smash Bros. Series) This poison function would be used later for the Poison ability.
