Poison Status - Final Fantasy II (Famicom)

Poison

Deals 2–4 damage each turn to the afflicted creature, and deals 1 damage per step outside of battle; cured with Esuna 1 or Antidote

Weapons Poison Axe

Monsters Beast Demon, Beelzebub, Black Flan, Eyemoeba, Gigantoad, Imp, Poison Toad, Queen Bee, Red Mousse, Royal Guard, Sea Snake, Tiamat, Werepanther, Wererat, Werewolf, Yellow Jelly

Even more so than Darkness, Poison is really only a problem because it halts progress if a character hasn't been cured by the end of combat. A few damage per round of combat isn't a problem at any stage of the game, and while the 1 damage per step of walking can add up, Esuna 1 is enough to cure this Status outside of combat. You'll need Esuna 2 to cure it in combat, or to cure the whole party of Poison outside of combat, though.
