History Main / PoisonIsCorrosive

*** [=MC13=] ''Al-Qadim Monstrous Compendium Appendix'': The bite of a Winged Serpent injects a corrosive, acidic poison that does 2-16 HitPoints of damage.

*** MC4 ''TabletopGame/{{Dragonlance}} Monstrous Compendium'': The Jarak-sinn is a type of lizard man. Its spittle is an acidic venom that burns all creatures it touches.

*** ''Monstrous Compendium Annual''. The garbug has two tentacles which secrete a poison that causes paralysis. The poison is mildly corrosive and inflicts 1 HitPoint of damage every ten minutes of exposure for two hours.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}'': In the ''Aurore Sourcebook'', the Bladehood plant stabs its victims with blades covered by a highly acidic poison.

** Acid and Acid Spray both lower the opponent's special defence drastically (Acid Spray is guaranteed to do so) which is supposed to represent the corrosive aspect. Gets kinda gross with gastric Acid -- literally stomach acid that negates the opponent's ability. There are no actual acid Pokemon, as all Poison types are variations on piles of sludge/garbage or animals with poisonous features (like snakes).

* Hydrofluoric acid is very corrosive and highly toxic. It can diffuse through skin and spread fluorine around, creating all kinds of havoc -- mainly by precipitation of calcium fluoride. It leeches the calcium from your bones. In other words, it melts your bones from the inside out. It'll also take calcium from your blood, which is ''even worse''. Losing calcium from your bones weakens them. Losing calcium from your blood slows or stops your heart. Direct skin contact with even a small amount of hydrofluoric acid is rarely survivable without prompt treatment. Treatment that you're unlikely to get, because the human body also needs calcium to ''transmit pain signals'', leaving many victims entirely unaware that they've even been exposed until it's too late to do much more than say "poor bastard" and start making funeral arrangements. Treatment for HF exposure is to soak the exposed skin in a calcium-rich solution immediately. That way, the HF goes for that calcium rather than the calcium in your bones and bloodstream. And you'll still want to go the hospital.

** One of the most insidious things about H[[subscript:2]]S is how it quickly numbs your ability to smell it, so you may think that you've escaped to an area with fresh air when in actuality you are still breathing it in. As such workers in environments where exposure can easily occur from leaking equipment (such as in oil refineries) are required to wear personal H[[subscript:2]]S detectors on them at all times.

* ''TabletopGame/ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame'': The second obstacle for Group B is a room filled with highly corrosive poison capable of quickly dissolving human flesh, unless you have and antidote.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans1981'': The Stygian Witches say that Medusa's blood is a deadly poison, and after Perseus cuts off her head her blood spews out and melts Perseus' shield, which was a gift from the gods.

* ''Film/KingCobra1999'': Once fully grown, Seth's venom is so potent that it dissolves half a person's face after being bitten once.

* Poison can melt stone in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', much to the shock of the doctor who prepared it.
-->'''Ji Ping:''' I have a degree in chemistry. That makes no sense.
-->'''Cao Cao:''' Sorry, this book runs on the laws of drama, not physics.

** The venom of species of snake contain enzymes that kick-start the digestive process. These hemotoxic venoms and myotoxic venoms cause tissue degradation, such as breaking down the muscles around the heart killing their prey. The Seps, [[http://bestiary.ca/beasts/beast270.htm a small serpent described in a 1st Century CE bestiary]], had venom which could dissolve flesh and bone, making this Trope OlderThanFeudalism.

* ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' has a small vial of poison ''melt'' a huge monster, and the resulting sludge bores a clear round hole through the floor it was standing on.

* In ''Anime/RoninWarriors'', the Poison Warlord [[DubNameChange Sekhmet]]/Naaza can use the bright pink poison emitted by his Snake Fang Swords to melt his enemies and the surrounding enviroment, turning a whole concrete building into a half-corroded mess with one strike. Said venom is powerful enough to leave marks even in the Armors of the other Warriors.

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', Sessoumaru's poison claw attacks can dissolve bones. In a story late in the series, Sango also uses a poison strong enough to melt bone, causing [[WreckedWeapon significant damage to her weapon]] in the process.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has several examples of this, most notably [[spoiler:Magellan]], whose powers allow him to create any type of poison he pleases, especially the corrosive variety.
* In ''Anime/{{Kaiba}}'', a poison disguised as wine spills and eats through whatever it touches.

* In ''Manga/ApothecariusArgentum'', the title character, Argent is a "Basilisk", a type of SuperSoldier who has been exposed to various toxins from birth to the point they're integrated into his body chemistry. In one chapter, in order to escape from a dungeon, he bites open the palm of his hand and uses his blood to weaken the stone walls to the point he can punch through them.
* In ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'', [[PoisonousPerson Coco]] can produce this type of poison after evolving his Gourmet Cells and learning Food Honor.
* ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' has a small vial of poison ''melt'' a huge monster, and the resulting sludge bores a clear round hole through the floor it was standing on.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': The card [[https://scryfall.com/card/shm/193/poison-the-well Poison the Well]] shows a [[{{Hobbits}} kithkin]] carrying water in wooden pails, but where it has spilled out it's eaten holes in the ground. Apparently it's acid poison that only dissolves dirt.

* In the ''Literature/LoneWolf'' graphic novel ''The Skull of Agarash'', a giak throws a vial at Lone Wolf that he blocks with his axe, the weapon getting melted in the process. Despite this, Lone Wolf identifies it as poison and not acid. (It does seems to produces toxic fumes, though, forcing him to use his PsychicPowers to protect himself.)

* During his song in ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'', the sentient gas cloud Hexxus spits what he refers to as "poison sludge" onto a nearby pipe, causing it to hiss and release noxious fumes.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'', Dr. Jekyll offers Richard a bright green beverage which, when knocked out of his hand, dissolves through the wooden floorboards in a matter of seconds. Moments later, the liquid is revealed to be [[spoiler:the potion that turns Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde.]]
* In ''[[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Asterix and Cleopatra]]'', the Special Iced Arsenic Cake make by Artifis is so toxic that the batter AteTheSpoon -- ''before'' he adds the acid.

* In ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', a poison apple eats through a biker's helmet.
* In ''Film/TheRock'', we see what [=VX2=] does to bare skin. One thing that's not addressed is how atropine can counter a blister agent. [[note]] In RealLife, Atropine is a counter for VX, but VX is not a blister agent but, as stated, a frakking neurotoxin.[[/note]]
* This trope shows up repeatedly in ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' shorts.

* ''Film/CurseOfTheGoldenFlower'': It's strongly suspected by various characters that the queen's chronic illness is due to the "medicine" that the king puts in her tea and forces her to drink. In the end, she tosses the tea aside and it burns into the cloth it lands on.

* ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}'' (1981). The Stygian Witches say that Medusa's blood is a deadly poison, and after Perseus cuts off her head her blood spews out and melts Perseus' shield, which was a gift from the gods.
* In ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' an agent's malfunctioning cyanide suicide capsule somehow dissolves his teeth and upper jaw but fails to kill him.
* The [[HollywoodAcid poison]] laced cigarette in ''Film/{{Mindhunters}}'', could arguably double as this trope, since it first eats through a metal floor and the victim's boot... with her foot still inside... before killing her. It's not until later that one character states it was "some kind of acid" rather than poison and even then it's based on assumption.
* In ''Film/NineToFive'', Violet imagines poisoning her boss's coffee with something that dissolves the spoon. Averted when his coffee really is (accidentally) poisoned later.
* While not explicitly described, the poisonous fog in ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'' causes intense, immediate pain on contact, pain that lingers until the fog is washed off in water. This makes it somewhat similar to a blistering agent, though a water-soluble one (which makes very little sense).
* ''Film/KingCobra1999'': Once fully grown, Seth's venom is so potent that it dissolves half a person's face after being bitten once.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' plays with this a lot, but most noticeably in ''Discworld/InterestingTimes'', where the poison not only smokes upon contact, it causes the imbiber to explode.
* Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheEyesOfTheDragon'' featured Flagg preparing a poison which burned away and twisted the bowl of the spoon with which he stirred it. The corrosive power killing before the poison ''is'' addressed however, as the poison when mixed with water, wine or ingested by the human body stops it burning holes through stuff, it just kills you an extremely unpleasant manner a day or two later.
* In the ''Literature/HumanxCommonwealth'' series, Alaspinian minidrags spit an incredibly potent neurotoxin that has been shown to eat through metal. It's justified in that minidrags have no teeth, so they rely on their toxin's corrosive properties to get it into the bloodstreams of their enemies.
* In "Literature/SorcererConjurerWizardWitch", a drink that the heroes suspect has been poisoned is knocked out of the hand of the person who's about to drink it, and the liquid starts eating into the floor.
* In the ''Literature/{{Wraeththu}}'' novels by Storm Constantine, the title creatures' semen is a caustic poison. This is also true in the TabletopGame based on the novels.
* ''Literature/GestaDanorum'': As Thorkill and his companions sail away from Utgard in flight, flying demons rain poisonous slaver down on them. The voyagers take shelter under animal hides, but one man accidentally thrusts out his hand, and it withers from touch of the poison; a second man peeks out from under his cover, and goes blind; a third man [[TooDumbToLive sticks out his whole head]], which is taken clean off at the neck "as if it had been severed with a sword".
* ''Literature/TheWanderingInn'': The protagonist's most terrifying weapon, besides her pan, is the acid, she extractes from Acid Flies, which corrodes easily flesh, when it comes in contact with it. Not that she does it by herself, she rather lets her undead barmaid do the work.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Way to Eden": The plant life of the planet Eden is full of acidic poison.
* The nerve gas in Season 5 of ''Series/TwentyFour'' could eat through door seals. Handwaved in that the nerve gas was mixed with a corrosive element.
* In the TV version of ''Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', the sequence demonstrating the effect of drinking a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster ends with a close-up of the stuff, having been spilled when the drinkers succumbed to unconsciousness, eating a hole in the floor.

** The original series did this a lot when a poison attack was used on the Megazord. It could also shock, as Scorpina's sting did.

* In ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', the Hades God Toad used corrosive poisons as part of his power set.
* In the ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'' episode "The Ones You Love", when Myka's sister Tracy is affected by a cord that makes you murder your siblings she slips something in Myka's tea. When Myka spills the tea, it eats through the carpet.
* In ''Series/{{Grimm}}'', the spider-like tarantella's venom dissolves (digests) its victim from the inside-out.

* ''Magazine/{{Ares}}'' magazine #6 game "Voyage of the BSM Pandora". The expedition can encounter a mushroom that will spray anyone who touches it with a deadly corrosive poison that can cause ongoing damage.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', ''Magazine/WhiteDwarf'' magazine #98 article "Chapter Approved". An outline of the bioengineered implants and organs most [[SuperSoldier Space Marines]] have included the Betcher's Gland, a gland that connected to salivary glands that creates a highly acidic contact poison. Marines are able to [[SuperSpit spit the poison at opponents to damage and blind them]], though this is [[GameplayAndStorySegregation usually a moot point]] since they typically wear full helmets. It's been noted that [[HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic this isn't always the case]], and if captured, it typically lets them [[BreakingTheBonds escape captivity]] if given time.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' plays with this. While moves such as Acid are classified as {{Poison| ous Person}}[[ElementalPowers -type attacks]], they are among the only Poison attacks that don't have a chance of poisoning the opponent. But [[DishingOutDirt Ground- and Rock-type Pokémon]] resist Poison-type attacks (Poison-type Pokémon are also weak to Ground-type attacks), and [[ExtraOreDinary Steel-types]] are completely immune to Poison.
** Acid and Acid Spray both lower the opponent's special defence drastically (Acid Spray is guaranteed to do so) which is supposed to represent the corrosive aspect. Gets kinda gross with gastric Acid -- literally stomach acid that negates the opponent's ability. There are no actual acid Pokemon, as all Poison types are variations on piles of sludge/garbage or animals with poisonous features (like snakes).
** Gulpin and Swalot, due to being [[ExtremeOmnivore giant stomachs]], can be said to be acid Pokemon, as there is no other reason for them to be poisonous other than their acid-spitting abilities, which constitutes poison in the Pokeverse. However, they do learn sludge, filth, and gas based moves as well, but these are probably to round them out as Poison-types, rather than leaving them with three attacks.
** Salandit and its evolution, Salazzle, downplay this with their ability, "Corrosion". It negates the immunity to the poison status effect inherent to Steel-type Pokemon, and lets it poison other Poison-types. However, it doesn't allow them to deal base Poison-type damage against Steel-types, they're still immune to it.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Vindictus}}'' MMORPG has an Acidic Poison Pouch item that contains an acidic poison.
* ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'' has a salesman who sells 'all purpose-poison'. In one quest, you learn that it's used for things like polishing family crests and cleaning fountains.
* "Toxic Waste" in ''[[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame LEGO Batman]]''. Instakills everyone who steps in it, except for a few specific characters with immunity to poisons.[[note]] Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, Bane, Killer Croc and ComicBook/TheJoker.[[/note]]
* Cassiopeia from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has an ability called Miasma, which creates a circular pool of poison. It damages anything that walks over it, including robotic entities.
* Acid attacks and spells (like Acid Splash) in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' count as a variety of Poison when it comes to calculating resistances.
* In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'' (and the ''Zero Hour'' expansion pack), the GLA's "anthrax" (implied to be more chemical cocktail than just a viral agent) can and will eventually wear down armored tanks and fortified buildings.
* In the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' DLC ''Dead Money'', the Sierra Madre Hotel and Casino is blanketed by a cloud of metal-corroding toxic smog. Possibly {{justified}}: [[spoiler: The Cloud's purpose was to force people to use the experimental auto-docs that were on-site to test their surgical programming]]; it makes sense that it would be more corrosive than poisonous.
* In-name-only in the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series. There are prefixes like "Pestilent", "Vitriolic" and so on, and the symbol for corrosive damage is a biohazard trefoil, but corrosive effects only work as HollywoodAcid and even deal ''less'' damage against fleshy enemies as opposed to armor (which it's very strong against), including robots that obviously cannot be poisoned.
* Blight in ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' is all over the place. Some disease-based attacks such as Plague Grenade cause it, but so do poison-related ones like Poison Dart and a select few like Digestion that imply corrosive activity. [[DemBones Animated skeletons]] are especially weak to blight despite having no living tissue to poison, while [[PigMan the swine folk]] are said to resist it due to their filthy living conditions, implying a strong immune system[[note]]which generally isn't very effective at deterring corrosive agents[[/note]].
* Implied with the Giant Hogweed enemies in ''VideoGame/ArmoryAndMachine''. They have a "Venom" attack that deals heavy damage to your mechanical fighters, meaning that the attack is most likely corrosive for it to affect machines.
* ''VideoGame/EnterTheGungeon'' has a generic green goo usually referred to as "poison" that can be dumped onto the floor in various ways--green BlobMonsters and the Gorgun leave a trail of it behind them, mutant bullet kin puke it up, you can roll or break barrels of it, and various items let you emit some yourself. One of these, the Poison Vial, lampshades this in its description, as mentioned up top.
* The poisonous orange gas in ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' does damage on contact, as does the yellow gas ''you'' can emit when you heal if you have the right Charm equipped. Could be considered a JustifiedTrope if you assume that, since it's a gas, it's being inhaled.
* ''Videogame/GrimDawn'' draws a minor distinction, in that Acid damage is just the instantaneous version of Poison damage; the game prefers to keep its damage-over-time and instantaneous damage versions of the same element separate and differently-named.

** [[http://scp-wiki.net/scp-875 SCP-875 ("War Criminals").]] SCP-875-1 are small flying insects about six centimeters long. They have a sting which injects a venom that is highly acidic and does serious damage to tendons and nerves.
** [[http://scp-wiki.net/scp-955 SCP-955 ("Mr. Sillybug")]]. If a specimen is threatened or startled, it will spray a corrosive mucus up to several meters away. The mucus contains a neurotoxin that causes severe pain on contact with flesh.

* Both ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': The stirring something, then lifting the spoon and watching it dissolve is a repeated gag. Most often with horrible poisons, but also mysterious brews like the JekyllAndHyde variety, and {{Gargle Blaster}}s.
* In one of the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts (''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r45taz9Boi0 Mickey's Garden,]]'' 1935), Mickey prepared an insecticide at his backyard and the broom he was using to stir it "burned" from being inside it.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': Overdone to the point of parody where a poisoned cup of milk eats through several floors. Given they were living through a mystery author's last novel, the surreality of it was intentional.

*** ''Magazine/{{Dungeon}}'' magazine #14, adventure "A Question Of Balance". A "demon" summoned during a magical lightning storm has saliva that is both poisonous and acidic in nature.

Note that this may be justified (or {{Hand Wave}}d) in non-contemporary or fantasy works, as the characters might not understand that there even is a difference between acid and poison, or might not have a word for acid, or something. (Incidentally, not all acids are corrosive.)

* Hydrofluoric acid is very corrosive and highly toxic. It can diffuse through skin and spread fluorine around, creating all kinds of havoc -- mainly by precipitation of calcium fluoride. It gets the calcium from your bones. In other words, it melts your bones from the inside out. It'll also take calcium from your blood, which is ''even worse''. Losing calcium from your bones weakens them. Losing calcium from your blood slows or stops your heart. Direct skin contact with even a small amount of hydrofluoric acid is rarely survivable without prompt treatment. Treatment that you're unlikely to get, because the human body also needs calcium to ''transmit pain signals'', leaving many victims entirely unaware that they've even been exposed until it's too late to do much more than say "poor bastard" and start making funeral arrangements. Treatment for HF exposure is to soak the exposed skin in a calcium-rich solution immediately. That way, the HF goes for that calcium rather than the calcium in your bones and bloodstream. And you'll still want to go the hospital.

* Concentrated potassium cyanide solutions are poisonous and corrosive for steel, copper and some other metals. With help of air even gold may be dissolved.

* Cashew nuts shells are saturated with skin-irritating, phenolic oil. Which is only corrosive to skin, not metal, as some people claim for cheap shocks. And one of its numerous uses is in medicine. Thus says Paracelsus: Everything is poison, and nothing is, for it's the dose that makes a poison.

** One of the most insidious things about H[[subscript:2]]S is how it quickly numbs your ability to smell it, you may think that you've escaped to an area with fresh air when in actuality you are still breathing it in. As such workers in environments where exposure can easily occur from leaking equipment (such as in oil refineries) are required to wear personal H[[subscript:2]]S detectors on them at all times.

** Salandit and its evolution, Salazzle, downplay this with their ability, "Corrosion". It negates the immunity to the poison status effect inherent to Steel-type Pokemon, and lets it poison other Poison-types. However, it doesn't allow them to use Poison-type ''attacks'' on Steel-types.

* In the ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'' novels, certain breeds of dragon are capable of spraying acid. While some characters early in the story refer to it as poison, neither the dragons nor their handlers make the mistake, making this an in-universe example of the trope.

* ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'': Certain species of dragon, such as the British Longwings, are capable of spitting highly corrosive acid. They are stated to be descended from naturally occurring poison-spitting dragons, which were selectively bred for stronger poison until this became so concentrated as to act like an acid.
